Collection and processing of personal data
Personal data refers to any information relating to a specific or identifiable individual. An affected person is an individual whose personal data is being processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures applied, including storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.
We primarily process the personal data that we receive from our customers and other business partners, as well as from other individuals involved, within the scope of our business relationship or that we collect from users of our website, apps, and other applications.
To the extent permitted, we also obtain certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, press, internet) or receive such data from other companies within our group, authorities, and other third parties. In addition to the data directly provided by you, the categories of personal data we receive from third parties about you include information from public registers, information obtained in connection with administrative and judicial proceedings, information related to your professional functions and activities (so that, for example, we can conclude and process transactions with your employer with your assistance), information about you in correspondence and discussions with third parties, credit reports (when we conduct personal business with you), information about you provided by individuals in your environment (family, advisors, legal representatives, etc.) to enable us to conclude or process contracts with you or involving you, such as references, your delivery address, powers of attorney, information regarding compliance with legal requirements such as anti-money laundering and export restrictions, information from banks, insurance companies, distributors and other contractual partners of ours for the provision or use of services by you (e.g. payments made, purchases made), information from media and the Internet about you (where appropriate in specific cases, such as within the scope of an application, press review, marketing/sales, etc.), your addresses, and potentially interests and other socio-demographic data (for marketing purposes), data related to the use of the website (e.g. IP address, smartphone or computer MAC address, information about your device and settings, cookies, date and time of the visit, accessed pages and content, used functions, referring websites, location data).
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases relating to Article 6 (1) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to the extent applicable:
- a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
- b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
- c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of the EU or under any applicable law of a country where the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
- d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
- e) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests, in particular, include our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose(s). In the case of longer retention obligations based on legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
Privacy Policy for Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific user-related information to be stored on the user’s device while they are using the website. Cookies enable the determination of usage frequency and the number of users of the pages, analysis of user behavior on the website and the creation of a more user-friendly offering. Cookies are stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be accessed again when the user revisits the website. If you do not wish for this to happen, you should configure your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes, especially for tracking, can be declared on the US website https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offering may be fully usable.
Google Analytics
Based on our legitimate interests (interest in optimizing our online offering), this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. However, due to IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated and anonymized by Google beforehand. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie regarding your use of the website by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link.
Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Data transmission security (without SSL)
Please note that data transmitted over an open network, such as the Internet or an email service without SSL encryption, can be accessed by anyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the “http://” in the browser’s address bar and the absence of a padlock symbol in your browser bar. Information transmitted over the Internet and content received online may be transmitted through networks of third-party providers. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or documents transmitted over such open networks or networks of third-party providers.
If you disclose personal information over an open network or networks of third-party providers, you should be aware that your data may be lost or potentially accessed by third parties, and therefore, the data may be collected and used without your consent. While individual data packets are often encrypted during transmission, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient reside in the same country, data transmission through such networks frequently occurs without controls, including to third countries, i.e. countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We do not assume responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the Internet and disclaim any liability for direct and indirect losses. If you consider it necessary or reasonable for security reasons, please use other means of communication.
Despite extensive technical and organizational security measures, data may be lost or intercepted by unauthorized parties and/or manipulated. We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures within our system to prevent this as far as possible. However, your computer is outside the security area controlled by us. As a user, it is your responsibility to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and take appropriate measures in this regard. As the website operator, we are not liable for any damages that may arise from data loss or manipulation.
Data provided in online forms may be passed on to authorized third parties for order processing and may be viewed and, if necessary, processed by these parties.

Third Party Services
This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.
These services provided by the American Google LLC may use cookies, and as a result, data is transmitted to Google in the United States. We assume that within this framework, no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.
Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield frameworks.
Further information can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy.

Use of Your Data for Advertising Purposes
- a) Principle
We use the data provided by you to fulfill and process your requests and subsequently recommend products and services that may be of interest to you. - b) Sending Newsletters
The registration process for newsletters from FinConTec AG follows the so-called double opt-in procedure: After submitting the corresponding registration form, an email is automatically sent to the provided address. This email asks the recipient to confirm their newsletter subscription by clicking a link. Only with this confirmation, the entry in the distribution list is activated, and the recipient will receive our newsletter in the future.
By subscribing to the newsletter and clicking on the confirmation link, the subscriber expressly consents to receiving the subscribed newsletter regularly. Newsletter registrations are logged to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements for the registration process. This includes storing the registration and confirmation timestamps, as well as the IP address. The subscriber can revoke their consent to receive the newsletter at any time by sending an email to info@FinConTec.ch.

We primarily process your personal data to fulfill contractual obligations and to fulfill legal obligations imposed on us. By accepting this privacy policy, you also give your consent to all processing operations mentioned in this privacy policy. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a corresponding statement to info@FinConTec.ch. However, this revocation does not affect the processing operations that have been carried out until that point.

Disclosure of Data
We only disclose your personal data if you have expressly consented to it, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or if it is necessary to enforce our rights, especially to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship. Furthermore, we only disclose your data to third parties if it is necessary for contract processing. These service providers use your data exclusively for order processing and not for other purposes. FinConTec AG is authorized to transfer your personal data to third-party companies abroad if this is necessary for contract processing.
If a recipient is located in a country without adequate legal data protection, we contractually obligate the recipient to comply with applicable data protection regulations (for this purpose, we use the revised standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which can be found here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj). This is applicable unless the recipient is already subject to a legally recognized framework for ensuring data protection and we cannot rely on an exemption provision. An exemption may apply, in particular, in foreign legal proceedings, as well as in cases of overriding public interests or if contract processing requires such disclosure, if you have consented, or if it concerns data made generally accessible by you and you have not objected to its processing.
retention period
We retain your personal data for as long as we consider it necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, or as long as they are necessary for the purposes for which they were collected. We delete your personal data once they are no longer needed, and in any case, after the legally prescribed maximum retention period has expired. You can request the deletion of your personal data at any time by submitting a corresponding request to info@FinConTec.ch. We will promptly comply with your request unless we are obligated to retain the data for other reasons or require it for the enforcement of claims.

data from children
Where it is evident to us, we only collect, process and use personal data of children with the consent of their legal representatives. Individuals under the age of 16 must obtain permission from their legal guardian before transmitting personal data to us.
Accordingly, the use of our website by individuals under the age of 16 who do not have the appropriate consent from their parents is generally prohibited.
Profiling and automated decision making
We partially process your personal data automatically with the aim of evaluating certain personal aspects (profiling). We use profiling in particular to inform and advise you about products in a targeted manner. To achieve this, we use evaluation tools that enable us to communicate and advertise tailored to your needs, including market research and opinion polls.
In the establishment and execution of the business relationship and otherwise, we generally do not use fully automated decision-making processes (as regulated in Article 22 of the GDPR). If we use such procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately, if required by law, and provide you with information about the associated rights.
Safety measures
We implement technical and organizational security measures to adequately protect your personal data against unauthorized access, misuse, accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, or destruction. Technical security measures for the protection of your personal data are regularly reviewed and adjusted to the state of the art if necessary.
Liability for links
We have no influence over the current and future design, content or authorship of linked pages. Therefore, we expressly distance ourselves from all contents of all linked pages that have been changed after the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references placed within our own internet offer. The provider of the respective page, to which reference was made, is solely liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete contents and especially for damages arising from the use or non-use of such information provided, not the one who merely refers to the respective publication through links.
changes
FinConTec AG reserves the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. The privacy policy does not create any contractual or other formal legal relationship with or on behalf of a party.
Privacy policy for objection to promotional emails

The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as through spam emails.
Paid services
To provide paid services, we may request additional data from you, such as payment information, in order to process your order or request. We store this data in our systems until the legal retention periods have expired.
Use of Google Maps
This website uses the services of Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website, regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or if there is no user account. If you are logged in to your Google account, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish for this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or personalized website design purposes. Such evaluation is carried out, in particular (even for users who are not logged in), to provide targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google to exercise this right. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, as well as additional information regarding your rights and privacy settings, please visit: www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy.
Google Ads
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have accessed our website through an advertisement displayed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer by Google Ads. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an advertisement served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained through the use of conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers are provided with the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can reject the necessary setting of a cookie by adjusting your browser settings to disable the automatic setting of cookies or by blocking cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”.
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not wish to record measurement data. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
Privacy Policy for Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited will be referred to as “Google” below.
The statistics obtained help us improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. In addition, this website uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, which is carried out using a User-ID. If you have a Google user account, you can disable cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under “My Data,” “Personal Data.”
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been expanded with the code “anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are shortened and cannot be directly linked to individuals. If any data collected about you has a personal reference, it will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be deleted promptly.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. For exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the United States, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics.
You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Disable Google Analytics. This will store an opt-out cookie on your device, preventing the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will be deleted as well. Therefore, if you want to continue preventing this form of data collection, you must set the opt-out cookies again. The opt-out cookies are set for each browser and device and must be activated separately for each browser, device or computer.

Additionally, Google AdSense can capture conversions, which are related to ad requests, using cookie IDs. This occurs, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will learn and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:
- By adjusting your browser software settings, in particular, suppressing third-party cookies, which will prevent you from receiving ads from third-party providers.
- By deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com,” available at https://adssettings.google.com. Please note that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies.
- By deactivating interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices. Please note that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies.
- By permanently deactivating in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome using the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all the features of this service to their full extent.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is a balancing of interests, according to which the processing of your personal data described above is not opposed by any overriding interests on your part (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO).
