DAAily platforms AG
Version 3.0, valid from April 23, 2024
This Privacy Policy (“the Policy”) informs you about how DAAily platforms AG (hereinafter collectively also "we" or “DAAily”) handle your personal data (hereinafter also "Your Data"). We attach great importance to protecting the personal rights of the users (hereinafter also referred to as "Users" or "you") of our products, comply with the applicable data protection regulations and take the necessary measures to protect Your Data.
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not contain an exhaustive description of our data processing activities and that individual matters may be described in whole or in part by specific data protection notices (with or without reference to them in this Privacy Policy).
For all data of other persons that you disclose to us, please make sure that you are authorized to do so, and that this data is correct. Such persons must be made aware of this Privacy Policy.
The structure of this Policy: Sections 2-7 contain general information on the processing of personal data. Specific information on job applications can be found in section 8 and on our online information in section 9.
In the following, we will inform you about the cases in which we collect data about you, which data we process from you, for which purposes we use it, and to whom it may be passed on. In addition, we will explain to you which rights you have vis-à-vis us with regard to Your Data and how you can assert these rights.
Third-party websites that can be accessed via our websites are not subject to the data protection regulations set out here. We assume no responsibility or liability for the observance of data protection by third-party websites.
"Personal data" are all details and information that relate to a specific or identifiable person. This includes, for example, contact data such as name, telephone number, address, or e-mail address as well as other information that you provide to us, for example, during registration, as part of an order, or when participating in competitions or surveys and the like.
Processing" means any handling of personal data, including but not limited to the collection, storage, management, use, transmission, disclosure, or deletion of Your Data.
Your Data will only be used for the respective purposes communicated to you in this Privacy Policy. We take the necessary measures to ensure that your personal data is protected against loss, theft, and misuse.
Among other things, we process personal data that we receive from, collect from, or create for customers, interested parties, website visitors, employees, job applicants, service providers, suppliers, and other persons. Of course, we also process data of persons who are the subject of our media coverage.
These are, among others, the following types of personal data:
In addition to the data about you that you give us directly, the categories of personal data that we receive about you from third parties include, in particular, information from contractual partners of ours regarding the use or provision of services (e.g. media coverage, payments made, services provided).
To the extent permitted, we also obtain certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debt collection register, commercial register, media, Internet) or authorities and other third parties. In addition to the data about you that you give us directly, the categories of personal data that we receive about you from third parties include, in particular, information from public registers, information relating to your professional functions and activities, information about you in correspondence and meetings with third parties.
We process your personal data for the following purposes, among others:
We always process your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations.
When processing personal data for the purpose of handling a contractual relationship, the contractual relationship serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
In the case of data processing that is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, the relevant legal obligation serves as the legal basis.
For further processing, we rely on our overriding interest, for example, to optimally adapt and continuously improve our offers to the needs of our customers and to carry out marketing activities in order to be able to offer you suitable products or services, as well as to display advertisements that are relevant to you. This is an important basis for the financing and further development of our offers. To achieve these interests, the processing of personal data as described by us is necessary. However, we have taken measures to mitigate the impact of data processing for our users. In particular, when we process personal data about children, we take specific precautions (such as excluding them from advertising campaigns) to protect their interests. We have also compared our interest with the interest of our users and have come to the conclusion that we do not unduly affect the interests or fundamental rights of our users with our data processing activities and that our interests are accordingly outweighed in these data processing activities. If you have a different opinion, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time within the legally permissible framework (see sections 8 and 9).
In cases where we obtain consent for data processing, this is deemed to be the legal basis.
In the context of media reporting, personal data is disclosed to the public in certain cases if this is permitted under data protection law. We do not otherwise disclose personal data to third parties unless this is required by law, justified by a legitimate interest, ordered by a court decision, the disclosure to third parties has been consented to, or because third parties want to and are allowed to use data for their own purposes within the limits permitted by law. The disclosure to third parties is excluded from this:
We work with a limited number of trusted external service partners who have been carefully selected by us and meet high data protection and security standards. Data is disclosed to the service partners only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of the services offered.
In the event of a sale, merger or other reorganization of some or all of our company's assets, Personal Information may be transferred, assigned, sold or otherwise shared with third parties as part of that transaction or reorganization.
Your data may also be exchanged between certain companies of the NZZ company and used by these companies for purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy.
If necessary and appropriate for the data processing described in this Privacy Policy, we may also transfer your personal data to third parties abroad. Whenever possible, Your Data will be processed in Switzerland or within the European Union or the European Economic Area. If data could be transferred to a country that does not have an adequate legal level of data protection (such as the USA), we require that the recipient takes appropriate measures to protect personal data, e.g. by connecting a partner to the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework for data transfers to the USA or agreeing to so-called EU standard clauses. For more information and a copy of the EU standard contractual clauses, please visit https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/de/home/datenschutz/arbeit_wirtschaft/datenuebermittlun g_ausland.html . In certain cases, we may also transfer data without such agreements in accordance with data protection requirements, e.g. if you have consented to the corresponding disclosure or if the disclosure is necessary for the performance of the contract, for the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims or for overriding public interests. Particularly in the case of website tracking, data may be transferred to countries without adequate data protection.
We use and retain Your Data only as long as it is necessary according to the processing purpose in question, there is another legal basis for it or we have an overriding legitimate interest in it. We retain data that we hold on the basis of a contractual relationship with you at least as long as the contractual relationship exists and limitation periods for possible claims by us run or statutory or contractual retention obligations exist.
If you apply for a job with us, we process personal data that we receive from you as part of the application process. In addition to your personal details, education, work experience and skills, this includes the usual correspondence data such as e-mail address and telephone number. In addition, all documents submitted by you in connection with the application, such as curriculum vitae and references, will be processed. This data is stored, evaluated, processed or forwarded internally exclusively in connection with your application. Furthermore, they may be processed for statistical purposes (e.g. reporting). In this case, no conclusions can be drawn about individual persons. Your applicant data will be stored separately from other user data and will not be merged with them. If we conclude an employment contract with you, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the application process ends without employment, your personal data will be stored for six months for documentation purposes and then deleted, unless you have given us permission to use your details for further application processes with us.
