We collect, process and use this personal data in a lawful way and in good faith. Depending on the respective purpose of the data processing, Waller processes your personal data on the following legal bases:

Waller processes personal data primarily as part of initiating or executing contracts, particularly:
– to manage, operate, maintain and optimise the website and the services provided thereon;
– to help us improve the website and our services;
– to answer questions put to us by users and to attend to the concerns of users;
– to be able to show information and advertising about our products to users; and
– to prevent the illegal use of our website.

Waller is required to comply with applicable laws and may be required by law or an official order to provide information, report or hand over your personal data.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 13 (1) of the Federal Act on Data Protection (Article 31 [1] of the revised Federal Act on Data Protection). Our legitimate interest is based on the intention of ensuring the functionality of our website with respect to our services, running our website in a user-friendly way, keeping information constantly updated, and meeting the needs of our customers and website visitors.

We never use the data collected for the purpose of making conclusions about you personally.

For further processing purposes not related to the actual performance of the contract (e.g. sending newsletters, see Section 5), the processing of your personal data can be based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Access to personal data is restricted to those employees, contractors and third parties that require knowledge of this data for the provision of products and services or in connection with the website. We use physical, electronic and procedural security precautions for the protection of personal data. They include the use of firewalls, personal passwords, as well as encryption and authentication technologies. We use personal data belonging to our customers or former customers for the aforementioned purposes exclusively and will pass on or otherwise transmit such data to third parties only with the consent of the customer or where permitted or required for compliance with a legal obligation.

We store your personal data in accordance with the relevant data protection laws. In particular, personal data is stored only for as long as it is required, and no longer than for the period permitted by law.

You agree to our cookies policy by using our website.

Most of the cookies used by us are "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Certain other cookies will be saved on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to identify your browser during your next visit.

Waller uses cookies for the following purposes on this website:
– your language preference is stored by the language setting cookie so as to show you the website in your selected language on your next visit;
– the number and type of visits to the website and its pages is tracked in order to identify what parts of the website are working well and what parts require improvement;

Cookies by third parties and partners. We occasionally use plug-ins and components by third parties to improve user experience and our online advertising campaigns. These components may also use cookies for similar purposes. Neither third parties nor Waller have access to the data that is collected by other parties by means of these cookies.

We use cookies to show advertising banners by Waller when you visit websites by third parties with whom we have marketing arrangements. Under certain circumstances these third parties may collect anonymised information about your use of our and other websites and may make this anonymised data available to us, including, but not limited to, geographic data, information on your usage of a website or the name of websites on which you were shown advertising banners.

Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are web analysis services by Google Inc. ("Google"). The information generated by these cookies about your usage of this website is usually sent to one of Google's servers in the United States and stored there. Due to the activation of the IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will, however, first be abbreviated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will your full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on the website activities and provide us with further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not associated with any other Google data. For further information, please visit the Google website.

Please note, however, that if you do so, you may not be able to use all functionalities of this website in full.

Google AdWords Remarketing is a cookie that can associate your visit to the website with advertising banners by Google. For further information, please visit the Google website.

We use retargeting and remarketing functions by third-party providers on our website. These technologies allow us to show personalised advertising to Internet users that have visited our website in the past when they visit websites operated by our partners. The retargeting, i.e. remarketing provider stores a cookie on your hard drive for this purpose. The cookie technology stores pseudonymised usage information, e.g. what advertising you have received from us or clicked on and what advertising content you have viewed. On no accounts will the pseudonymised data be associated with your personal data; instead it is used exclusively to enable advertising that reflects your interests.

You may object to the use of the retargeting, i.e. remarketing providers by clicking on the following link to the page where you can disable cookies: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en.

You can decide against the use of cookies (on this website) at any time by deleting the cookies placed on your device by this website. You can do so by changing the settings in your browser and by deleting all cookies.

When using the feedback and contact form integrated on our website, please be aware that you should not enter any sensitive data or data particularly worth protecting (e.g. indications of your credit rating, deposits of money or changes of address). Personal data must only be changed in the Waller app; data and matters that are sensitive or particularly worth protecting must only be dealt with by contacting customer support on the telephone hotline. It is at your own risk that you enter any data relating to banking, as Waller is unable to guarantee the confidentiality of notifications or documents transferred via these public networks or networks operated by third-party providers, even when encryption is enabled and the information is sent to our CRM/ticketing system. Information that is transferred via the Internet (e.g. in online forms) or received online may be sent via networks operated by third-party providers, where it might be generally accessible.

Third parties that are contracted by us and implement technical and organisational measures on our behalf, act according to our instructions and are required by us for the performance of the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or for our other business activities (e.g. customer and technical support, hosting of our systems) may have access to personal data belonging to users. Our service providers are required to process personal data exclusively on our behalf and according to our instructions. We also require our service providers to maintain technical and organisational measures for the protection of personal data.

Your personal data may be transmitted abroad insofar as this is necessary to provide our services (e.g. for payment orders), is required by law (e.g. as part of the automatic exchange of information) or is based on your consent. We make certain (e.g. by entering into suitable contracts) that an adequate level of protection, equivalent to the standards applied in Switzerland, is afforded to the data.

Data transmitted via public networks like the Internet or e-mail services can be accessed by anyone. Information transferred via the Internet (e.g. in online forms) and content received online may be transmitted via networks operated by third parties. Waller cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information or documents that are transmitted by means of these public networks or networks operated by third parties.

If you disclose personal data via a public network or networks operated by third-party providers, you should be aware of the fact that your data may be lost. Also third parties might gain access to and hence collect and use the data without your consent. While many of the individual data packages are transmitted in an encrypted form, the names of the sender and the recipient are not. Third parties can therefore draw conclusions on accounts and business relationships that exist or are being established. Even if the sender and the recipient are residents of the same country, the transmission of data over these networks often lacks monitoring and frequently takes place via third countries, including via countries that do not offer the same degree of protection as the country in which you are domiciled. We do not accept responsibility for the security of your data during its transfer via the Internet and reject all liability for direct and indirect damages. The use of other means of communication is permitted if you consider this to be necessary or reasonable for security reasons.

Data that you enter in online forms may be passed on to and processed by third parties for the performance of the order. For certain services your data will be transferred with advanced encryption.

On your request, Waller will provide you with information on all of the personal data we have stored about you, its source, the recipients and categories of recipients to whom we have disclosed personal data about you and on the purpose of data storage or processing. You also have the right to demand the rectification, blocking or erasure of this data. Any consent given can be withdrawn at any time by notifying Waller. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authorities. Contact the following email address if you have any questions in this regard or about personal data in general: info@waller.swiss.

For general questions about this Privacy Policy or data protection at Waller, kindly write to info@waller.swiss or send us a letter at Waller Swiss AG, Bahnhofstrasse 29, 6300 Zug, Switzerland.
