Preface
We, Leo Trust Switzerland AG, take the protection of your personal data seriously and would like to inform you at this point about the data protection in our company through this data protection declaration. Within the scope of our responsibility under data protection law, additional obligations have been imposed on us by the entry intoforce of the European General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter abbreviated as "EU-GDPR") in order to ensure the protection of personal data of the data subject.
Insofar as we decide either alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of data processing, this includes above all the obligation to inform you transparently about the nature, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing (cf. Art. 13 and 14 EU-GDPR ). With this privacy policy, we inform you about the way in which your personal data is processed by us.
Our privacy policy has a modular structure. It consists of a general part for all processing of personal data and processing situations that come into play each time a website is called up (A. General) and a special part, the content of which onlyrelates to the processing situation specified there with the designation of the respective offer or product, in particular the visit to websites as detailed here (B. Visit to websites).
A. General
1. definitions
The terms used in this data protection declaration are based on the following definitions, modelled on Art. 4 EU-GDPR:
- "Personal data" (cf. Art. 4 No. 1 EU-GDPR) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). A person is identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data or by means of informationregarding his or her physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity characteristics. The identifiability can also be given by means of a linkage of such information or other additional knowledge. The origin,form or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (photographs, video or audio recordings may also contain personaldata).
- "Processing" (cf. Art. 4 no. 2 EU-GDPR) means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation oralteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction, as well as alteration of a purpose or use for which the datawas originally collected.
- "Controller" (cf. Art. 4 No. 7 EU-GDPR) means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Art. 4 No. 10 EU-GDPR) means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under thedirect responsibility of the controller or the processor. This also includes legal persons belonging to a group.
- "Consent" of the data subject (cf. Art. 4 No. 11 EU-GDPR) means any freely given specific, informed and unambiguous indication of his or her wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

4. Legal basis for data processing
In principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited by law and only permitted if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications:
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR ("consent"): Where the data subject has voluntarily, in an informed manner and unambiguously indicated by a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her for one or more specified purposes;
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU-GDPR: If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject;
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU-GDPR: If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller issubject (e.g. a legal obligation to keep records);
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d EU-GDPR: If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or anothernatural person;
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e EU-GDPR: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the publicinterest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, or

For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below the applicable legal basis in each case. A processingoperation may also be based on several legal bases.
5. Data deletion and storage period
For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below in each case how long the data will be stored by us andwhen it will be deleted or blocked. Unless an explicit storage period is specified below, your personal data will be deleted orblocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for the storage no longer applies. In principle, your data will only be stored onour servers in Switzerland, subject to any transfer that may take place in accordance with the regulations in Part A. Section 7and 8.
However, storage may take place beyond the specified time in the event of a (threatened) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings or if storage is provided for by legal regulations to which we are subject as the responsible party. If the storage period prescribed by the legal regulations expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted unless further storage by us is necessaryand there is a legal basis for this.
6. Data security (cf. Art. 32 EU-GDPR)
We use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentionalmanipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties (e.g. TSL encryption for our website), taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing as well as the existing risks of a data breach (including its probability and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
We will be happy to provide you with more detailed information on request. Please contact our data protection officer (see Part A.Section 3).
7. Cooperation with processors (cf. Art. 28 EU-GDPR)
As with any larger company, we also use external domestic and foreign service providers (e.g. for IT, logistics,telecommunications, sales and marketing) to process our business transactions. They only act on our instructions and have been contractually obliged to comply with data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 28 EU-GDPR.
If personal data from you is passed on by us to our partner companies or is passed on to us by our partner companies (e.g. foradvertising purposes), this is done on the basis of existing order processing relationships.
8. Conditions for the transfer of personal data to third countries
In the course of our business relationships, your personal data may be passed on or disclosed to third party companies. Thesemay also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing takes place exclusively for the fulfilment of contractual and business obligations andto maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer in the followingat the relevant points.
The European Commission certifies data protection comparable to the EEA standard for some third countries by means ofso-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be obtained here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/policies/justice-and-fundamental-rights_en.
However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we ensure that data protection is sufficiently guaranteed. This is possible via binding company regulations, standard contractual clauses of the EuropeanCommission for the protection of personal data, certificates, recognised codes of conduct or self-certification via the EU-USPrivacy Shield (information on this can be found here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome).
Please contact our data protection officer (see Part A. Section 3) if you would like more information on this.

As a customer, you are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data; however, we may only be able to provide certain services to a limited extent or not at all if you do not provide the necessary data. If this shouldexceptionally be the case in the context of the products or services offered by us presented below, you will be informed ofthis separately.
