    Insofar as you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, insofar as we have no other legal basis and we require such a basis. Consent given 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 in connection with the use of our website

    We typically use "cookies" and similar technologies on our websites 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 are using when you visit our website. This allows 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 deleted after your website visit ("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 to reject cookies, store them for one session only, or otherwise delete them early. Most browsers are preset to accept cookies. We use persistent cookies to remember user preferences (e.g. language, autologin), to help us better understand how you use our offerings and content, and to show you offers and advertisements tailored to you (which may also happen on other companies' websites; however, they will not learn from us who you are, if we even know, because they will only see that their website has the same user who was on a particular page with us). Certain of the cookies are set by us, and certain are also set by contractors with whom we work. If you block cookies, certain functionalities (such as language selection, shopping cart, ordering processes) may no longer work.

    We also include visible and invisible image elements in some of our newsletters and other marketing emails, where permitted, that allow us to determine if and when you have opened the email by retrieving them from our servers so that we can measure and better understand how you use our offers and tailor them to you here as well. You can block this in your email program; most are preset to do so.

    By using our websites and agreeing to receive newsletters and other marketing emails, you consent to the use of these techniques. If you do not want this, then you must set your browser or e-mail programs accordingly, unless this can be adjusted via the settings.

    5. Principles of data processing

    When processing data, we take into account the legal processing principles of legality, proportionality, purpose limitation, transparency - in particular the fulfillment of information obligations - and data security.

     

    6. Data security

    All information that you submit to us is stored by InvestInvent AG on servers within Switzerland.

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

     

    7. Data disclosure and data transfer abroad

    Within InvestInvent AG, personal data is only accessible to those persons who actually require this data.

    We also disclose Personal Data to the following categories of third parties, as permitted and as we deem appropriate, in the course of our business activities and for the purposes set forth in Section 4:

    • supervisory, administrative, tax and other authorities in Switzerland and abroad
    • service providers of the investment vehicles managed by InvestInvent AG, such as administrators, AIFMs, depositaries, auditing companies etc.
    • accounting, tax, legal and compliance consulting services
    • IT service provider
    • target companies or funds
    • other financial service providers, in particular banks for processing payments of all kinds

    We may also be entitled or obligated to disclose data due to legal provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve the disclosure of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, danger prevention, etc.

    As far as is apparent, no further disclosure of personal data to third parties will take place unless you have consented to the disclosure of data.

    Personal data may be transferred abroad, in particular to Luxembourg, where investment funds managed by us are established, or to Germany, France, Spain, etc., where the investment funds managed by us invest or will invest in the future.

     

    8. Duration of the retention of personal data

    We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for example for the duration of your investment in a fund managed by InvestInvent AG, your business relationship with InvestInvent AG (from the initiation, processing to the termination and settlement of a contract) and beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. In this context, it is possible that personal data will be retained for the time during which claims can be asserted against InvestInvent AG and to the extent that we are otherwise legally obligated 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 a matter of principle and as far as possible.

    9. Obligation to provide personal data

    Within the scope of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is required for the establishment and implementation of a business relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual obligations. Depending on the service, you may have a legal obligation to provide us with data. This applies in particular in the fight against money laundering or terrorist financing. We may not be able to conclude a contract with you (or the entity or person you represent) or process it without this data.

     

    10. Profiling

    For the establishment and implementation of the business relationship and also otherwise, we generally do not use fully automated automatic decision-making. Should we use such procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately about this, insofar as this is required by law, and inform you about the associated rights.

     

    11. Rights of the person concerned

    You have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the personal data as such, the purpose of processing, the retention period or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this period, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you, and, if applicable, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom personal data is disclosed.

    Furthermore, you also have the right to correct incorrect data, the right to request the restriction of processing of data that has been processed too extensively and the right to delete personal data that has been processed unlawfully or stored for too long (insofar as this does not conflict with any legal obligation to retain data and no other reasons according to the DPA). Finally, you also have the right to revoke any consent you may have given to use your personal data at any time.

    You may exercise your aforementioned rights at any time by contacting us at the contact address provided. The exercise of such rights usually requires that you clearly prove your identity (e.g. by means of a copy of your ID card, where your identity is otherwise not clear or cannot be verified).

    Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce the restrictions provided for by law, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have an overriding interest in doing so (insofar as we are entitled to rely on this) or require it for the assertion of claims. Please also note that the exercise of these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have consequences such as the premature termination of the contract or cost consequences. We will inform you in advance if this is not already contractually regulated.

    In addition, every data subject has the right to enforce his or her claims in court or to file a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

     

    12. Changes

    We may amend this Declaration at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. Insofar as 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.

4. 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. 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 are using when you visit our website. This allows 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 deleted after your website visit ("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 to reject cookies, store them for one session only, or otherwise delete them early. Most browsers are preset to accept cookies. We use persistent cookies to remember user preferences (e.g. language, autologin), to help us better understand how you use our offerings and content, and to show you offers and advertisements tailored to you (which may also happen on other companies' websites; however, they will not learn from us who you are, if we even know, because they will only see that their website has the same user who was on a particular page with us). Certain of the cookies are set by us, and certain are also set by contractors with whom we work. If you block cookies, certain functionalities (such as language selection, shopping cart, ordering processes) may no longer work.

We also include visible and invisible image elements in some of our newsletters and other marketing emails, where permitted, that allow us to determine if and when you have opened the email by retrieving them from our servers so that we can measure and better understand how you use our offers and tailor them to you here as well. You can block this in your email program; most are preset to do so.

By using our websites and agreeing to receive newsletters and other marketing emails, you consent to the use of these techniques. If you do not want this, then you must set your browser or e-mail programs accordingly, unless this can be adjusted via the settings.

5. Principles of data processing

When processing data, we take into account the legal processing principles of legality, proportionality, purpose limitation, transparency - in particular the fulfillment of information obligations - and data security.

 

6. Data security

All information that you submit to us is stored by InvestInvent AG on servers within Switzerland.

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

 

7. Data disclosure and data transfer abroad

Within InvestInvent AG, personal data is only accessible to those persons who actually require this data.

We also disclose Personal Data to the following categories of third parties, as permitted and as we deem appropriate, in the course of our business activities and for the purposes set forth in Section 4:

  • supervisory, administrative, tax and other authorities in Switzerland and abroad
  • service providers of the investment vehicles managed by InvestInvent AG, such as administrators, AIFMs, depositaries, auditing companies etc.
  • accounting, tax, legal and compliance consulting services
  • IT service provider
  • target companies or funds
  • other financial service providers, in particular banks for processing payments of all kinds

We may also be entitled or obligated to disclose data due to legal provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve the disclosure of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, danger prevention, etc.

As far as is apparent, no further disclosure of personal data to third parties will take place unless you have consented to the disclosure of data.

Personal data may be transferred abroad, in particular to Luxembourg, where investment funds managed by us are established, or to Germany, France, Spain, etc., where the investment funds managed by us invest or will invest in the future.

 

8. Duration of the retention of personal data

We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for example for the duration of your investment in a fund managed by InvestInvent AG, your business relationship with InvestInvent AG (from the initiation, processing to the termination and settlement of a contract) and beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. In this context, it is possible that personal data will be retained for the time during which claims can be asserted against InvestInvent AG and to the extent that we are otherwise legally obligated 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 a matter of principle and as far as possible.

9. Obligation to provide personal data

Within the scope of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is required for the establishment and implementation of a business relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual obligations. Depending on the service, you may have a legal obligation to provide us with data. This applies in particular in the fight against money laundering or terrorist financing. We may not be able to conclude a contract with you (or the entity or person you represent) or process it without this data.

 

10. Profiling

For the establishment and implementation of the business relationship and also otherwise, we generally do not use fully automated automatic decision-making. Should we use such procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately about this, insofar as this is required by law, and inform you about the associated rights.

 

11. Rights of the person concerned

You have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the personal data as such, the purpose of processing, the retention period or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this period, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you, and, if applicable, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom personal data is disclosed.

Furthermore, you also have the right to correct incorrect data, the right to request the restriction of processing of data that has been processed too extensively and the right to delete personal data that has been processed unlawfully or stored for too long (insofar as this does not conflict with any legal obligation to retain data and no other reasons according to the DPA). Finally, you also have the right to revoke any consent you may have given to use your personal data at any time.

You may exercise your aforementioned rights at any time by contacting us at the contact address provided. The exercise of such rights usually requires that you clearly prove your identity (e.g. by means of a copy of your ID card, where your identity is otherwise not clear or cannot be verified).

Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce the restrictions provided for by law, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have an overriding interest in doing so (insofar as we are entitled to rely on this) or require it for the assertion of claims. Please also note that the exercise of these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have consequences such as the premature termination of the contract or cost consequences. We will inform you in advance if this is not already contractually regulated.

In addition, every data subject has the right to enforce his or her claims in court or to file a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

 

12. Changes

We may amend this Declaration at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. Insofar as 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.
