This Privacy Policy is designed to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Swiss Data Protection Act (“FADP”). Whether and to what extent these laws are applicable, however, depends on the individual case.

2. Collection and processing of personal data

We primarily process the personal data that we receive from our customers and other business partners in the course of our business relationship with them and other persons involved, or that we collect from their users when operating our websites, apps and other applications.

As far as this is permitted, we also extract certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. road traffic offices, debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, press, internet), from authorities and other third parties (such as petrol station operators, parking lot owners or property owners). In addition to the data about you that you provide to us directly, the categories of personal data that we receive about you from third parties include, in particular, information from public registers, information we learn in connection with administrative and judicial proceedings, information related to your professional functions and activities (for example, so that we can conclude and conduct business with your employer with your help),  Information about you in correspondence and meetings with third parties, credit reports (insofar as we conduct business with you personally), information about you that people from your environment (family, advisors, legal representatives, etc.) give us so that we can conclude or process contracts with you or with the involvement of you (e.g. references, your address for deliveries, powers of attorney, information on compliance with legal requirements such as anti-money laundering and Export restrictions, information from banks, insurance companies, sales and other contractual partners of ours regarding the use or provision of services by you (e.g. payments made, purchases made)), information from the media and the Internet about you (insofar as this is indicated in the specific case, e.g. in the context of an application, press review, marketing/sales, etc.), your addresses and, if applicable, interests and other socio-demographic data (for marketing),  Data in connection with the use of the website (e.g. IP address, MAC address of the smartphone or computer, information about your device and settings, cookies, date and time of visit, pages and content accessed, functions used, referring website, location information).

3. Purposes of data processing and legal basis

We use the personal data we collect primarily to conclude and process our contracts with our customers and business partners, in particular within the framework of our services in the areas of parking and petrol station management for our customers, as well as to comply with our legal obligations at home and abroad. If you work for such a customer or business partner, you may of course also be affected by this function with your personal data.

In addition, we process personal data of you and other persons, to the extent permitted and deemed appropriate to us, also for the following purposes, in which we (and sometimes also third parties) have a legitimate interest corresponding to the purpose:

  • Offering and developing our offerings, services and websites, apps and other platforms on which we are present;
  • Providing services to customers in relation to parking violations and fuel theft;
  • Communicating with third parties and processing their enquiries (e.g. job applications, media enquiries);
  • Examination and optimisation of procedures for needs analysis for the purpose of direct customer contact as well as collection of personal data from publicly accessible sources for the purpose of customer acquisition;
  • Advertising and marketing (including the organisation of events), provided that you have not objected to the use of your data (if we send you advertising as an existing customer of ours, you can object to this at any time, we will then place you on a blacklist against further advertising);
  • Market and opinion research, media monitoring;
  • Asserting legal claims and defending in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;
  • Prevention and investigation of criminal offences and other misconduct (e.g. conducting internal investigations, data analysis to combat fraud);
  • warranties of our operations, in particular IT, our websites, apps and other platforms;
  • Video surveillance and other measures for the provision of our services in the areas of parking and petrol station management for our customers;
  • Video surveillance and other measures for IT, building and plant security and protection of our employees and other persons and assets belonging to or entrusted to us (such as access controls, visitor lists, network and mail scanners, telephone recordings);
  • Purchase and sale of business units, companies or parts of companies and other corporate transactions and the associated transfer of personal data as well as measures for business management and to the extent that compliance with legal and regulatory obligations as well as internal regulations.

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (for example, when you register to receive newsletters or carry out a background check), we process your personal data within the framework of and based on this consent, unless we have any other 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.

4. Cookies / Tracking and other technologies related to the use of our website

We typically use “cookies” and similar techniques on our websites and apps that can be used to identify your browser or device. 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 or install the app. This allows us to recognise you when you return to this website or use our app, even if we don’t know who you are. In addition to cookies that are only used during a session and are deleted after your visit to the website (“session cookies”), cookies can also be used to store user preferences and other information for a certain period of time (e.g. two years) (“persistent cookies”). However, you can set your browser so that it rejects cookies, stores them only for one session or otherwise deletes them prematurely. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. We use permanent cookies to help you remember user preferences (e.g. language, autologin), to better understand how you use our offers and content, and to show you offers and advertising tailored to you (which may also happen on websites of other companies, but we do not tell them who you are, if we even know that ourselves).  because they only see that there is the same user on their website who was on a certain page with us). Some of the cookies are set by us, and some are also set by contractual partners with whom we work. If you block cookies, certain functionalities (such as language selection, shopping cart, ordering processes) may no longer work.

In our newsletters and other marketing e-mails, we incorporate visual and invisible image elements in part and, as far as permitted, by retrieving them from our servers, we can determine whether and when you have opened the e-mail, so that we can also measure and better understand how you can use our offers and tailor them to you. You can block this in your email program; most are preset to do this.

By using our websites, apps and consenting to receive newsletters and other marketing emails, you consent to the use of these techniques. If you do not want this, then you have to change your browser or browser. Set your email program accordingly, or uninstall the app if this cannot be adjusted via the settings.

We sometimes use Google Analytics or similar services on our websites. 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 Ireland (based in Ireland), Google Ireland relies on Google LLC (based in the USA) as a processor (both “Google”), www.google.com), with which we can measure and evaluate the use of the website (non-personal). For this purpose, permanent cookies are also used, which are set by the service provider. We have configured the service in such a way that the IP addresses of visitors to Google in Europe are shortened before being forwarded to the USA and thus cannot be traced. We have turned off the “Data sharing” and “Signals” settings. Although we can assume that the information we share with Google is not personal data for Google, it is possible that Google may draw conclusions about the identity of visitors from this data for its own purposes, create personal profiles and link this data to the Google accounts of these people. 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 respective website is used (no information about you personally).

5. Data transfer and data transfer abroad

In the context of our business activities and the purposes set out in Sec. 3, as far as permitted and it seems appropriate to us, also known to third parties, either because they process it for us or because they want to use it for their own purposes. In particular, the following positions are concerned:

  • Service providers of ours (such as banks, insurance companies), including processors (such as IT providers);
  • Dealers, suppliers, subcontractors and other business partners;
  • Customers;
  • domestic and foreign authorities, offices or courts;
  • Media;
  • public, including visitors to websites and social media;
  • competitors, industry organisations, associations, organisations and other bodies;
  • Acquirers or interested parties in the acquisition of any business, company or other part of us;
  • other parties in potential or actual legal proceedings; all together: recipients.

Some of these receivers are inland, but can be anywhere on Earth. In particular, you must expect the transfer of your data to all countries in which we are represented by group companies, branches or other offices as well as to other countries in Europe and the USA where the service providers we use are located (such as Microsoft, SAP, Amazon).

If a recipient is located in a country without adequate legal data protection, we contractually oblige the recipient to comply with the applicable data protection (for this purpose, we use the revised standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which can be accessed here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?), unless the recipient is already subject to a legally recognized set of rules to ensure data protection and we do not rely on an exemption provision . An exception may apply in particular to legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interests or if the execution of a contract requires such disclosure, if you have consented or if the data has been made generally accessible by you and the processing of which you have not objected to.

6. Duration of retention of personal data

We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise the purposes pursued by the processing, i.e. for example for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation and settlement to the termination of a contract) as well as beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. It is possible that personal data will be retained for the time in which claims can be asserted against our company and if we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or if legitimate business interests require this (e.g. for evidentiary and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted or anonymised as a matter of principle and as far as possible. For operational data (e.g. system logs, logs), shorter retention periods of twelve months or less generally apply.

7. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational security precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorized access and misuse, such as the issuance of instructions, training, IT and network security solutions, access controls and restrictions, encryption of data carriers and transmissions, controls.

8. Obligation to provide personal data

As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the establishment and implementation of a business relationship and the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations (as a rule, you do not have a legal obligation to provide us with data). Without this data, we will not normally be able to enter into or perform a contract with you (or the entity or person you represent). The website cannot be used if certain information to ensure data traffic (such as IP address) is not disclosed.

9. Rights of the data subject

Within the framework of the data protection law applicable to you and to the extent provided for therein (such as in the case of the GDPR), you have the right to information, correction, deletion, the right to restriction of data processing and otherwise to object to our data processing and other legitimate interests in the processing as well as to the release of certain personal data for the purpose of transfer to another body (so-called data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce the restrictions provided for by law, for example if we are obliged to store or process certain data, have an overriding interest in doing so (insofar as we may invoke it) or need it for the assertion of claims. If you incur any costs, we will inform you in advance. We have already discussed the possibility of revoking your consent in No. 3. Please note that the exercise of these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and this may have consequences such as early termination of the contract or cost consequences. We will inform you in advance if this is not already contractually regulated.

The exercise of such rights usually requires you to provide clear proof of your identity (e.g. by means of a copy of your ID, where your identity is otherwise not clear or cannot be verified). To assert your rights, you can contact our data protection advisor:

IXAR Legal AG
Dr. Fabio Babey
Meier Bosshard Str. 5
8048 Zurich

Every data subject also has the right to enforce his or her claims in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

10. Changes

We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time without notice. The current version published on our website applies. To the extent that the Privacy Policy forms part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of the change by email or other appropriate means in the event of an update.
