Data protection

As a law firm and notary's office based in Switzerland, we are subject to the federal law on data protection, although we are also bound by professional secrecy as lawyers and notaries. When collecting, processing, disclosing and storing personal data, we comply with both this data protection declaration and the specifications of the applicable data protection regulations, mainly the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and its ordinance, as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR).

​

With this data protection declaration, we would therefore like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection of personal data via this website, the processing of this personal data and your rights in this regard.

​

​

Which data do we process?

We primarily process the personal data that we receive directly from our clients as part of our client relationships. These are of course subject to professional secrecy. There is also the possibility that we receive or collect data indirectly from authorities, courts or other third parties (e.g. counterparties, business and contractual partners of our clients). We also collect certain personal data when you visit our website (www.cronbloch.ch) or take it from publicly accessible sources (e.g. Internet, press, land register, debt enforcement or commercial register) where indicated and permitted. This data processing is carried out with a view to analyzing the internet traffic on our website and improving its functionality. When using the website, personal data can also be collected using cookies and Google Analytics.

​

​

For what purposes do we process your data?

We use the personal data we collect to conclude and process our mandates with you and business partners. We also process personal data when purchasing the services of our assistants (in particular legal and tax advisors/experts consulted in Germany and abroad) and for dealing with conflicts of interest. The processing of personal data also serves to comply with our legal obligations at home and abroad. If you work for one of our clients or business partners, your personal data may also be affected in this function.

​

In addition, we process personal data, as far as necessary and permissible, for the further development of our services, offers and website or other communication channels, processing your inquiries, assertion of legal claims and defense in connection with legal disputes and official procedures, guarantees of our operations, especially IT, our website as well as for any transactions under company law and the associated transfers of personal data as well as measures for business management and for compliance with legal and regulatory obligations as well as our internal regulations.

​

If you have only given us your consent for specific purposes, we will process your personal data within the framework of and based on this consent, unless there is another legal basis and we need one. A given consent can be revoked at any time, but this has no effect on data processing that has already taken place.

In most cases there is no legal obligation for you to provide us with your personal data. However, these data are regularly required for the acceptance and execution of a mandate and its fulfillment. As a rule, however, we will not be able to conduct a client relationship with you without this data. Our website can also not be used or can only be used with restrictions if certain information to ensure data traffic (eg IP address) is not disclosed or certain settings are not activated (eg cookies).

​

​

Who do we share your data with?

It is possible that we will also disclose your personal data to third parties as part of our business activities and for the aforementioned purposes, insofar as this is permitted and appears to us to be appropriate. This disclosure is always in accordance with data protection legislation and our professional secrecy. This applies in particular to the following recipients:

• Domestic and foreign (authorities, official offices or (arbitration) courts;
  Suppliers and auxiliary persons of ours (such as in particular legal and tax advisors at home and abroad) in connection with the mandate that you entrust to us;

• Our service providers (such as banks, trustees, insurance companies, IT service providers);

• Third parties to whom we may delegate certain activities (e.g. the translation of certain documents);

• The tax authorities;

• The administrative, criminal, judicial or arbitration authorities related to the mandate you entrust to us;

• Law firms and companies with whom we need to communicate in order to carry out the mandate that you entrust to us.
   

We may also be required to share data with authorities to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations.

​

​

Where is your data processed?

We store your personal data in Switzerland. Taking into account the degree of sensitivity of your data, appropriate technical and organizational security measures must be taken to protect them from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

A transfer abroad will only take place if the execution of the mandate you have entrusted to us requires such a transfer (e.g. to a law firm based abroad). Incidentally, this transmission only takes place after discussing with you the context in which such a transmission appears necessary to us, and therefore with your consent.

​

​

How long do we keep your data?

We store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise for the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for the duration of the entire contractual relationship (from the initiation, processing to the end of a mandate) as well as in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. As soon as your personal data are no longer required for the purposes mentioned in Section 4 above, they will be deleted or made anonymous as far as possible. In principle, shorter retention periods of twelve months or less apply to operational data (e.g. system protocols, logs).

 

​

What are your rights?

You have the right:

• ask for details about the data we process about you;

• correct your data;

• to request the deletion of your data (which we may not be able to do under our legal obligations without having to terminate the mandate agreement that binds us);

• to withdraw your consent in the case of processing operations based on this basis;

• to contact a judicial authority or the Federal Data Protection Commissioner if you believe that we have not fulfilled our obligations.
  
   

Use of our website: cookies, tracking and other technologies

We use "cookies" and similar techniques on our website that allow your browser or device to be identified. A cookie is a small file that is sent to your computer or automatically stored on your computer or mobile device by the web browser you use when you visit our website. This allows us to recognize you when you visit this website again, even if we do not know who you are. In addition to cookies that are only used during a session and are deleted after your website visit ("session cookies"), cookies can also be used to save user settings and other information for a certain period of time (e.g. two years) ("permanent cookies "). However, you can set your browser so that it rejects cookies, only saves them for one session or otherwise deletes them prematurely. Most browsers are preset to accept cookies. We use permanent cookies so that we can better understand how you use our offers and content. If you block cookies, certain functionalities (such as language selection) may no longer work.

We sometimes use Google Analytics or comparable services on our website. This is a service provided by third parties, which may be located in any country in the world (in the case of Google Analytics, it is Google LLC in the USA, www.google.com), with which we measure (non-personally identifiable) use of the website and can evaluate. Permanent cookies set by the service provider are also used for this purpose. The service provider does not receive any personal data from us (nor keeps IP addresses), but can track your use of the website, combine this information with data from other websites that you have visited and which are also tracked by the service provider, and these insights use for your own purposes (e.g. control of advertising). If you have registered with the service provider yourself, the service provider also knows you. The processing of your personal data by the service provider is then the responsibility of the service provider in accordance with its data protection regulations. The service provider only tells us how our website is used (no information about you personally).
