3 Which personal data do we process?
We process personal data that you supply to us. “Personal Data” is any information which could, alone or together with other information, personally identify you or otherwise be reasonably linked or connected to you.
If necessary for the provision of our services, we also process Personal Data that we have obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. public databases, Internet and the press) or from third parties in a lawful manner (e.g. cooperation partners, insurers, investors, financial service providers, lawyers, experts, suppliers).
We may process various types of Personal Data, including:
- Personal details (e.g. name, address and other contact details, date of birth, language preferences, application and usage data, financial information and creditworthiness data).
- Data on customer and/or supplier activities (e.g. contract data, customer and/or supplier contacts, session data relating to visits to our website, IP addresses).
- Other data which we are legally obliged or entitled to collect and process and which we need for your authentication, identification or to check the data we collect (e.g. identity of contractual partners, origin of assets, payment instructions).
If particularly sensitive Personal Data is required to conclude or perform a contract, we will always obtain your consent.
In addition, and without derogating from the above, you hereby give your consent that any use of the Site, which requires the entry of Personal Data (as defined above) and/or other basic details, whether on your own initiative or at our initiative, will be documented by us and/or anyone on our behalf.

5 Which other persons will we make your Personal Data available to?
We do not pass your Personal Data on to unauthorised third parties. Only employees have access to the data they require for the purpose of fulfilling contractual and / or legal obligations. To be able to provide our services, it is necessary in certain circumstances for us to pass on your data both within and outside the company. Depending on their purpose, these include, for example, affiliates of Mitrelli Group and third parties acting on our behalf (e.g., IT services, logistics, printing services, marketing). All third parties integrated into our business processes process your Personal Data on our behalf and only as we are permitted to do so ourselves. They are carefully checked by us with regard to data protection and data security and are committed to secrecy and compliance with data protection regulations, taking into account the applicable statutory data protection provisions.
For the avoidance of any doubt, we can share Personal Data to third parties in the following circumstances:

7 Where will your Personal Data be processed?
We have offices in Switzerland and other jurisdictions. The IT-infrastructure used to process and store Personal Data is located in Switzerland. However, we may transfer Personal Data to affiliates and third parties acting on our behalf. Personal Data will in such cases only be used and processed according to the intended purpose as defined above and will only be transferred to other states if there is an adequate level of data protection regulation comparable to that in Switzerland, or if the recipient contractually guarantees to us an equivalent level of protection of the Personal Data.
