Privacy Policy

i-Risk GmbH (“i-Risk”) collects and uses certain personal data in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (“DSG”), the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (“DSV”), and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

We place great importance on transparency in handling personal data. This privacy policy provides information on what personal data we collect, for what purpose, and to whom we disclose it. To ensure high transparency, this privacy policy is regularly reviewed and updated. This policy is directed at individuals whose personal data we process in connection with our business activities as well as visitors to our website. Personal data refers to all data relating to a specific or identifiable natural person.

Types of Personal Data

i-Risk receives and processes personal data in the course of its business activities, which you provide to i-Risk or which we request from you. The nature of your relationship with us determines the type of personal data we collect about you. These include, in particular:

  • Business contact details of representatives and employees of our customers and potential customers with whom we maintain a business relationship, such as first name, last name, email address, telephone number, address, occupation, job title;

Collection of Personal Data

i-Risk typically receives and processes personal data by:

  • You providing it to us;
  • Communicating with us via email or other channels;
  • Using this website;
  • Applying for a job at i-Risk or during the term of your employment;
  • Consulting other sources such as publicly available search engines, official databases, registers and archives, social media, or other websites;
  • Fulfilling an order for us.

Purpose of Processing Your Personal Data

Your personal data will only be processed in connection with our business activities and/or to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations. i-Risk uses your personal data, in particular:

  • For communication purposes;
  • For documentation purposes;
  • For evidentiary purposes;
  • For customer management;
  • For marketing and advertising purposes;
  • To fulfill contractual obligations;
  • To fulfill internal policies and legal obligations;
  • For recruitment and employee management purposes.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data to Third Parties

In connection with the aforementioned purposes, your personal data may be disclosed to third parties. These third parties may include:

  • Accounting, fiduciary, and auditing companies;
  • Consulting firms (legal advice, tax advice, auditors, etc.);
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);
  • Payment service providers;
  • For marketing and advertising purposes;
  • Other third parties where legally required or permitted, or in connection with a legal proceeding.

We ensure that these third parties and our affiliates comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.

In certain circumstances, we may also be required to disclose your personal data to authorities.

In the course of order processing, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad. These companies are obligated to the same extent to protect data as we are. The transfer can take place worldwide. If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we conduct a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same level of protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (e.g., by means of the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we implement additional technical measures to protect your data.

Data Security

i-Risk operates and maintains appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal data from misuse, loss, damage, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Access is restricted to authorized personnel. In addition, we test the effectiveness of these safeguards through regular audits.

When we process your personal data, you have the following rights, which you can exercise in most cases free of charge:

  • The right to request information about the processing of your personal data;
  • The right to have your personal data corrected if it is incorrect or incomplete;
  • The right to withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. Please note that we may still be entitled to process your personal data, particularly if we are required to do so by law or regulatory provisions;
  • The right to object to the processing of your personal data or instruct us to restrict such processing in certain cases. Again, there may be cases where we are not required or entitled to comply with this request;
  • The right, in some cases, to receive certain personal data in a specific format and/or, if applicable, the right to instruct us to transfer this data to a third party;
  • The right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority if you believe that we have violated your rights.
