Data protection
Confidentiality is of the utmost importance to Addvision and the protection of your personal data is a priority for us when carrying out our obligations. Addvision commits to respect the personal information you shared with us when requesting our services, as well as any personal data of which we may become aware during the course of our activities. We strive to ensure that your personal data is accurate and up to date.
Your information is collected and processed in accordance with Swiss data protection laws, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection of June 19, 1992 (“FADP”) (to be replaced by the new Federal Act on Data Protection of September 25, 2020, which has not come into effect yet).
How we collect and process your personal data and which information we collect about you
In order to provide a complete and highly personalised service to our clients, we are required to collect and process your personal information. This information is communicated by you at the beginning of the contractual relationship with Addvision, when speaking to our staff (in person or by telephone), during the course of written communications (post or email) or by visiting our website (www.addvisionpartners.com).
Personal data may also be transmitted to Addvision by third parties, such as depositary banks where you own one or more bank accounts, provided you gave your prior consent. Thus, the information we obtain and process is mainly personal data which we may later use when discharging our contractual obligations. Your information may also be collected and processed when it is or becomes publicly known.
The data we collect and process includes data pertaining to your identity and your contact information (for example: first name, surname, date of birth, postal address, email address, telephone number), as well as financial data in relation to your bank account(s) and your assets. In other words, the data we collect and process is any information useful to us for the purpose of discharging our obligations.
Addvision may also collect and process any other personal data which you have decided or may decide to share with us (such as: legal and tax domicile, civil status, professional status, social security number, etc.).
How we use your personal data
Addvision uses your personal data in order to carry out its business, in particular to:
- Share information and present you with service offerings, in accordance with your request
- Discharge its obligations under the contract you entered into with Addvision
- Analyse and develop the contractual relationship between yourself and Addvision
- Communicate with you, answer your questions and queries
Confirm, update and improve our files - Abide by our legal obligations (under Swiss and European Union law).
During the performance of our contractual duties, we may take decisions based on an automatic processing of your personal data. Should this happen, you will be informed personally, and you will be allowed to request that all decisions be taken by individuals and not by automated systems.
How we share your personal data with others and why
To discharge our contractual obligations to you, we are required to cooperate with the bank(s) where you own one or more bank accounts and where your assets are held in custody. Your personal data will be shared with these banks only to the extent strictly necessary.
To provide you with the best services, we work closely with multiple trusted and qualified providers and organizations to whom we may have to communicate some of your information. The data collected may be transferred abroad, in the European Union or elsewhere, notably North America.
These providers and organizations include the following:
- Custody banks in Switzerland or abroad
- Collective investment undertakings
- Financial intermediaries
- IT services providers
- Subcontractors
- Authorities with which Addvision has a duty to cooperate.
All data shared with these recipients will be transferred by us using the required standards of care and taking all reasonable precautions against the risk of loss. Should your personal data be transferred abroad, you will be informed about the foreign state where our partner in charge of your data is located.
How we protect your personal data
Your information will, in all circumstances, be processed by Addvision using the required standards of care and attention. We use technical and organisational resources sufficient to prevent, as far as reasonably possible, the loss, theft, or deterioration of your personal data.
When transferring personal data abroad, we provide an appropriate safety and protection level, in accordance with the principles set by the FADP.
All our staff is appropriately trained and committed to respecting this Privacy Policy when processing your personal data.
The transmission of information via the internet is not absolutely secure and therefore involves a degree of risk. Thus, notwithstanding our best efforts and the measures we take to protect your personal data, Addvision cannot guarantee the safety of your personal data when transmitted via the internet.
How long we retain your personal data
We retain your personal data solely for the duration of the contract you entered into with us and, beyond that, for as long as Addvision is subject to relevant document and data retention obligations under Swiss or European Union law or for as long as this information is necessary in relation to any potential judicial proceedings arising out of the performance of any contractual obligations.
