Preamble
Preamble In accordance with the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we would like to use this document to inform our visitors in a transparent manner about our policy on the collection and use of personal data of visitors to our website. This privacy policy was updated on 17 March 2022 and is the current version. We reserve the right to make changes at any time
Cookies and other technologies
The Buypro platform and its component sites, online services, interactive applications and emails may use cookies and other audience tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, HTML tags and variables in the URLs. These technologies allow us to better understand user behaviour and tell us which parts of our websites are most visited. This anonymous data allows us to improve the quality of our interfaces and published content. For example, if a topic generates more than the average audience, we can identify it and invest in developing it, either as a new advisory practice or by continuing to write content on that topic. We track this click-through data to determine interest in certain topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click on any text or graphic links in emails. Pixel tags allow us to send emails in a format that customers can read and to know whether messages have been opened. We may use this information to reduce or delete messages sent to customers. We treat the data collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal data, and if non-personal data is combined with personal data, we treat the combined information as personal data. We also use cookies and other technologies to remember your personal data when you use a website, online services and applications. In this case, our goal is to make your visit more convenient and personal. For marketing or transactional emails, we use "destination URLs" linked to content on our platform. When customers or experts click on one of these URLs, they are transferred to another web server before arriving at the landing page of our website.
Our website has a newsletter service to communicate our commercial activities, news and/or novelties to those who wish to receive them. For this service we only ask for an e-mail address. We use the Klavyio tool which adheres to terms of service, terms of use, acceptable use policy and a strict privacy policy. It is possible to unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking on the link at the bottom of the newsletter or by contacting the agency directly. For organisational purposes, we use a task automation tool called Zapier which also adheres to a Terms of Service, Terms of Use, Acceptable Use Policy and a strict Privacy Policy.

Collection and use of personal data
Personal data is information that can be used to identify or contact a specific person. In the course of using our services, we may ask you for personal information such as your first and last name, postal address and email address in order to improve our services. You are under no obligation to provide us with your personal data. However, if you choose not to, we may not be able to provide you with our services or even answer your questions.
Use of your personal data & disclosure to third parties
The personal data collected is only used by our platform and our employees. All data is secure. You can contact us at any time to find out the details of your data and ask us to delete them from our systems.
The website, powered by the Webflow solution, does not directly collect personal data. All data is transmitted to third party management and marketing solutions. The technological solutions contracted by our company.
The recipients of the data are partly in Switzerland, but may be located abroad. If we transfer data to a country that does not offer adequate legal data protection, we ensure an appropriate level of protection by means of corresponding contracts or rely on the following exceptional cases: consent, contractual performance, the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, overriding public interests, published personal data or the need to protect the integrity of the persons concerned. You may request information from us at any time about the above-mentioned contractual guarantees. We reserve the right, however, to black out copies for reasons of data protection or confidentiality or to provide only extracts. We may, however, occasionally make certain personal data available to third parties in order to provide or improve our services, in particular to carry out qualitative/quantitative studies and/or annual reports on the platform's contents and data. In such cases, we require such third parties to process such data in accordance with applicable laws and EU data processing regulations. We do not sell personal information and this information is never passed on to third parties for marketing purposes. Every relationship with our customers is covered by a confidentiality agreement. It may not be passed on to third parties.
Protection of personal data
We take the security of your personal data very seriously. Online services or access to the support centre protect your personal data in transit using SSL TSL (https) encryption. When your personal data is stored, we use restricted computer systems installed in premises with physical security measures.
Audience analysis
Our site may use anonymous web analytics technologies to continuously improve our site. The "Hotjar" tool is used for non-personal analysis of platform usage and for statistical evaluation. In doing so, information about the operating system, browser, geographical origin (country only), pages viewed during the visit and interactions (e.g. mouse movements, clicks and entries on the website) are recorded.
Other third party services and content
Our site may contain content such as YouTube videos, GoogleMaps, Slideshare or other content that involves the recording of your IP address by the providers of such content.
Visitor's rights
In accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), all visitors may have the right to access, correct, delete and transmit their personal data and the right to restrict the processing of data.
Legislation in force
We are committed to complying with all legislative requirements for Switzerland.
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 for the purposes of the processing, i.e., for the duration of a business relationship and beyond that period in accordance with legal retention and documentation obligations. We may retain personal data for the period during which claims may be made against us and because we are obliged to do so by law or by legitimate business interests (e.g. for evidential or documentation purposes). We would like to point out that the data will remain visible in our records even after deletion, as these records must also be able to provide information about past legal relationships.
Liability & Jurisdiction
Subject to mandatory legal provisions, in particular Article 100 of the Swiss Code of Obligations, the parties shall not be liable to each other for any indirect damage, such as loss of earnings, loss of turnover, moral prejudice, etc., resulting from the non-performance or imperfect performance of the contract. The relationship between the parties is governed by Swiss law. Any dispute that may arise between them in connection with the interpretation or execution of this document shall be settled by the ordinary courts of the Canton of Vaud and, if necessary, by the Federal Court.
