Hereinafter, we would like to lay out how PP treats personal data that is collected from users visiting the website www.pythagoraspartners.ch. Personal data is defined as information which is eligible to personally identify you.

The Federal Act on Data Protection 1992 (FADP) and the General Data Protection Regulation ('GDPR') (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) establish the legal basis for this policy.

  1. Consent
    By accessing the website www.pythagoraspartners.ch, the user gives its consent to the usage of its personal data in the ways outlined in this policy.

PP may need to make changes to its privacy policy from time to time and it is the user’s own responsibility to check the website for the latest version of the relevant privacy policy.

  1. Collected data
    When visiting our website, technical data may be collected and transmitted to us automatically. This data may qualify to identify the user and to analyze its behavior. The data collected may contain the following items:

  1. Protection of collected data
    PP takes the necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure the safekeeping of the collected personal data and to protect it from loss and unauthorized access. However, complete data security cannot be guaranteed; this is due to the fact that data transmission via the internet depends also on external factors that are beyond the control of PP.

    Your collected personal data is kept for as long as PP has a legal basis for its storage. If the storage is no longer required, your data will be entirely deleted.

Generally, PP does not share personal data with third parties. Nevertheless, some of our service providers may have access to personal information, especially when maintaining our IT systems.
