Data Protection Declaration

In this Data Protection Declaration, we, INTEGRA Holding AG and its group companies (hereinafter collectively referred to as "INTEGRA Group", "we" or "us"), explain how we collect and otherwise process personal data. This is not a final description; other privacy policies or general terms and conditions, conditions of participation and similar documents may govern specific matters.

This Data Protection Declaration is designed to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the Swiss Data Protection Act ("DPA"). However, whether and to what extent these laws are applicable depends on the individual case.

Collection and processing of personal data

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

Where permitted, we also obtain certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, press, internet) or receive such data from other companies within the INTEGRA Group, from authorities and other third parties.

Purposes of data processing and legal bases

We use the personal data we collect primarily to conclude and process our contracts with our customers and business partners and to comply with our legal obligations in Switzerland and abroad. If you work for such a customer or business partner, your personal data may of course also be affected in this function.

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

  • Offering and further developing our offers, services and websites and other platforms on which we are present;
  • Communication with third parties and processing their inquiries (e.g. applications, media inquiries);
  • Advertising and marketing (including the organization of events), provided you have not objected to the use of your data (if we send you advertising as an existing customer, you can object to this at any time and we will then place you on a blacklist against further advertising mailings);
  • Assertion of legal claims and defense in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;
  • Ensuring our operations, in particular IT, our websites and other platforms;
  • measures for IT, building and plant safety;
  • transactions under company law and the associated transfer of personal data as well as measures for business management and compliance with legal and regulatory obligations and internal regulations

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (for example, when you register to receive newsletters), we will process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis and require one. Consent that has been given can be withdrawn at any time, but this has no effect on data processing that has already taken place.

Cookies / tracking and other technologies in connection with the use of our website

We typically use "cookies" and similar technologies on our websites to identify your browser or device. This enables us to recognize you when you return to this website, even if we do not 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 settings and other information for a certain period of time (e.g. two years) ("permanent cookies"). However, you can set your browser so that it rejects cookies, only stores them for one session or otherwise deletes them prematurely. If you block cookies, certain functions may no longer work.

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 (not personalized). Permanent cookies set by the service provider are also used for this purpose. We have configured the service so that the IP addresses of visitors to Google in Europe are truncated before being forwarded to the USA and therefore cannot be traced. We have switched off the settings "Data transfer" and "Signals". Although we can assume that the information we share with Google is not personal data for Google, it is possible that Google can use this data for its own purposes to draw conclusions about the identity of visitors, create personal profiles and link this data to the Google accounts of these persons. 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 provisions. The service provider only informs us how our respective website is used (no information about you personally).

Data transfer and data transfer abroad

As part of our business activities and for the purposes set out in section 3, we also disclose data to third parties where permitted and where we deem it appropriate, either because they process it for us or because they wish to use it for their own purposes. This applies in particular to the following parties:

  • Service providers of ours (within the INTEGRA Group and externally, including contract processors (such as IT providers);
  • Dealers, suppliers, subcontractors and other business partners;
  • customers;
  • domestic and foreign authorities, official bodies or courts;
  • the media;
  • the public, including visitors to websites and social media;
  • competitors, industry organizations, associations, organizations and other bodies;
  • other parties in potential or actual legal proceedings;
  • Other companies of the INTEGRA Group;

all collectively "Recipients".

Some of these recipients are in Germany, but some may also be abroad. In particular, you must expect your data to be transferred to all countries in which the INTEGRA Group is 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 (e.g. Microsoft, SAP, etc.).

If a recipient is located in a country without adequate statutory data protection, we contractually oblige the recipient to comply with the applicable data protection (we use the revised standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are available 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 cannot rely on an exception. An exception may apply in particular in the case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interests or if the performance of a contract requires such disclosure, if you have given your consent or if the data in question has been made generally accessible by you and you have not objected to its processing.

Duration of storage of personal data

We process and store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise for the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation, execution 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 may be stored for the period in which claims can be asserted against our company and insofar as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or legitimate business interests require this (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted or anonymized as far as possible.

Data security

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

Obligation to provide personal data

As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the establishment and execution of a business relationship and the fulfillment 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 generally not be able to conclude or execute a contract with you (or the entity or person you represent).

Rights of the data subject

You have the right to information, correction, deletion, the right to restrict data processing and otherwise to object to our data processing, in particular for the purposes of direct marketing, profiling for direct advertising and other legitimate interests in processing, as well as to the disclosure of certain personal data for the purpose of transfer to another body (so-called data portability) within the scope of the data protection law applicable to you and to the extent provided for therein (such as in the case of the GDPR). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert 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 are entitled to invoke this) or require it for the assertion of claims. If you incur costs, we will inform you in advance. We have already informed you about the possibility of withdrawing your consent in section 3. Please note that exercising these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have consequences such as premature 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 generally requires that you clearly prove your identity (e.g. by means of a copy of your identity card, where your identity is otherwise not clear or cannot be verified). To assert your rights, you can contact us at the address given in section 1.

Every data subject also has the right to enforce their 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).

Amendments

We may amend this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website shall apply. If the data protection declaration is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of the change by e-mail or other suitable means in the event of an update.
