Use of Microsoft products, incl. Teams

Among other things, we use Microsoft products or Microsoft Office 365 incl. Teams for (non-exhaustive list)

  • Creation of various documents within the scope of the services to be provided, including the creation of business correspondence with clients, business partners and job applicants
  • Communication via e-mail (Exchange/Outlook)
  • Online (video) communication internally and with clients, business partners and, if necessary, job applicants (via teams)

For information on the resulting data processing, see the following sections Clients, Business Partners and Job Applicants.

The Microsoft products used (hereinafter MSO) are (like all other software) installed on our own servers located in Liechtenstein. No storage takes place online, but the use of MSO does not exclude the possibility that data may be stored by Microsoft. However, when using MSO, Microsoft restricts data processing to data that is necessary for the provision of a functioning website and for the use of Microsoft content and services, i.e. contact data (e.g. e-mail address) or data in connection with online forms (e.g. applications, notifications).

With regard to the storage locations, it should be noted that only those services are used whose storage locations ensure an adequate level of data protection. This means that storage may only take place in the EEA or in third countries that have an adequate level of data protection. According to Art. 45 GDPR, an adequate level of data protection can be assumed if this is ensured by an adequacy decision or standard data protection clauses. The storage locations are Switzerland (Teams) and the EU (other services). A secure level of data protection is ensured there. In Switzerland, a secure level of data protection is ensured on the basis of the adequacy decision 2000/518/EC applicable there.

When using the above-mentioned services, i.e. for MSO, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (“Microsoft”) acts as a data processor pursuant to Art. 4 No. 817 in conjunction with 28 GDPR. The Framework Agreement between NSF and Microsoft specifically set forth the following data protection provisions:

  • Microsoft shall not engage any other Processor without NSF’s prior specific or general written consent. In the event of a general written authorization, Microsoft will notify NSF of any intended changes regarding the addition or substitution of additional Processors to allow NSF to object to such changes (see Article 28(2) of the GDPR).
  • – Microsoft’s processing is subject to these provisions of the GDPR under European Union or the respective member state law. These are binding on Microsoft with respect to NSF. The subject matter and duration of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data, categories of data subjects, and NSF’s obligations and rights will be set forth in Customer’s License Agreement, which will incorporate the provisions of the GDPR. In particular, Microsoft is required to:
  • process Personal Data only in accordance with documented instructions from NSF. If Microsoft is required, on the basis of legal principles, to transfer Personal Data to a third country or to an international organization, Microsoft will inform NSF of that legal requirement prior to processing, unless the legislation prohibits such transfer of information on the grounds of important public interest;
  • ensure that individuals authorized to process Personal Data undertake to maintain confidentiality or are subject to an appropriate legal obligation of confidentiality;
  • take all necessary measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR (“security of processing”);
  • support NSF as far as possible by appropriate technical and organizational measures and respond to requests to exercise the rights of the Data Subject as set out in Chapter III of the GDPR;
  • assist NSF in complying with its obligations under Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR;
  • upon termination of the services, delete or return to NSF, at NSF’s request, all Personal Data related to the Processing. Existing copies will be deleted unless EU or Member State legislation requires the retention of the Personal Data;
  • provide NSF with all necessary information to demonstrate compliance with the obligations described in Art. 28 GDPR and enable and support audits (including audits carried out by NSF or an auditor appointed by NSF).

Disclosure of data to third parties

For certain technical data processing processes, we rely on the support of external service providers who have access to your personal data in order to provide these services. These service providers are carefully chosen and meet high data protection and data security standards. They are bound to strict confidentiality and only process data on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and in particular conclude corresponding contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

We work together with companies and other parties that have particular expertise in specific fields or certain specialist subjects (e.g. tax advisors, lawyers, consulting firms, logistics providers). These parties are either subject to a professional duty of confidentiality or are bound to confidentiality by us. Insofar as disclosure of personal data to these parties should be necessary, the legal basis for this depending on the content of the collaboration in question is Article 6 (1) 1 (b) or (f) GDPR.

Apart from in the cases explained in this privacy policy, we only share your data with third parties without your express consent if we are required to do so by law or an administrative or judicial order.

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or the processing takes place in the context of using the services of third parties or disclosing or transferring the data to other persons, offices or companies, this only occurs in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we only process or have the data processed in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, contractual obligations through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, EU Commission information page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

Security

We have taken comprehensive technical and organisational provisions to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, misuse, loss and other outside interference. To this end, we regularly check our security measures and bring them into line with the state of the art.

In particular, the measures include safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling the physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access to, input, disclosure, safeguarding the availability and separation of the data. In addition, we have established procedures to ensure respect for data subjects’ rights, the erasure of data and a rapid response to data threats. Moreover, we take personal data protection into account as early as the development or choice of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection, through privacy by design and privacy by default.

Data protection for website visitors

Which data are processed on visiting our web pages?

On accessing the individual pages of the website in this sense only access data are transferred to our provider, so that the website can be displayed to you. They are the following data:

  • browser type / browser version,
  • operating system used,
  • language and version of browser software,
  • hostname of the accessing terminal,
  • IP address,
  • website from which the request has come,
  • content of the request (specific page),
  • data and time of the server request,
  • access status/HTTP status code,
  • referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • data volume transferred,
  • time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

We use these data to be able to make the website accessible, potentially identify and solve any technical problems and prevent misuse of the offering and prosecute if necessary. In addition, we use these data in anonymised form, i.e. without the possibility of identifying the user, for statistical purposes and to improve the web pages. The legal basis for processing personal usage data is Article 6 (1) 1 (f) GDPR.

How are cookies used?

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user’s data carrier and exchange certain settings and data with our system via the browser. A cookie normally contains the name of the domain from which the cookie data were sent and information on the age of the cookie and an alphanumerical identifier. The information stored in the cookies is not used to identify the user and is not combined with other personal data stored about the user. 

The cookies used enable coverage analysis, i.e. evaluating visitor traffic to our website and may include visitor behaviour or interests.

With the help of coverage analysis, we can for example identify which content is used most or invites reuse. We can also understand which areas require optimisation.

In addition to web analysis, we can also use test procedures, e.g. to test and optimise different versions of our online offering or its components.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles may be created and stored in a file (so-called “cookie”) or similar procedures with the same purpose may be used. This information may include, for example, content viewed, web pages visited and elements and technical data used there, such as the browser used, computer system used and information on times of use.

Users’ IP addresses are also stored. However, we use an IP-masking procedure (i.e. pseudonymisation by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, within the framework of web analysis, A/B testing and optimisation, no plain user data (such as email addresses or names) are stored, but pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of the software used, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures.

User data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, cost-efficient and recipient-friendly services) pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Services and service providers used:

Matomo

On this website, we use “Matomo” software, a service from the provider InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand.

Website: www.matomo.org; data erasure: The cookies have a maximum retention period of 13 months.

You can object to the processing. Your right to object is based on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 21 (1) GDPR). In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling legitimate reasons on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

How do we use social plug-ins?

So-called social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) from social networks are used on our websites. For data protection reasons, we have deliberately chosen not to use direct plug-ins from social networks on our websites. Instead, we use the so-called “wrapper” solution. In this way, you can determine whether and when data are transferred to the operators of the respective social networks. Therefore in principle, when you visit our websites, no data are automatically transferred to social networks such as LinkedIn. Only when you actively click the respective button does your internet browser connect to the servers of the respective social network, i.e. by clicking the respective button (e.g. share) you consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) to your Internet browser establishing a connection to the servers of the respective social network and transferring usage data to the respective operator of the social network.

The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of their website. Such an evaluation takes place, in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Via the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.

How are data that you enter in a contact form processed?

On our website, there is the option to contact us via a form. You must state your form of address (Ms/Mr), first name and surname, country, language, email address and a message. You may also voluntarily state your title, company and telephone number.

Personal data transferred to us in this context are solely used to handle the inquiry in question.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) 1 (f) GDPR or Art. 6 (1) 1 (b) GDPR if the purpose of the contact is to conclude a contract.

We only process personal data from the input mask to process the contact. In the case of contact via e-mail, this also comprises the required legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 (1) 1 (b) GDPR.

You can object to the processing. Your right to object is based on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 21 (1) GDPR). In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling legitimate reasons on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

Data collection and online survey management

This type of service allows this application to manage the creation, deployment, management, distribution and analysis of online forms and surveys in order to collect, store and reuse data from all responding users.
The personal data collected depends on the information requested and provided by users in the corresponding online form.

What happens if you subscribe to a newsletter?

On our website, users have the option of subscribing to a newsletter and giving consent to the processing of personal data required for this purpose. To sign up for the newsletter, the user must provide their email address, first and surname and the form of address to which the newsletter should be sent. Further information may be provided voluntarily. These data are solely used to send the newsletter and shall not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 (1) 1 (a) GDPR. The user has the right to withdraw their consent at any time without affecting the legitimacy of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before the withdrawal. In this case, they no longer receive the newsletter. The purpose of the processing is direct marketing (by email or post)

On registration, the IP address of the accessing system and the date and time of the registration as well as the email verification are also collected. These data are solely processed for the purpose of being able to retrace potential misuse of an email address. The legal basis for processing the data described above is Article 6 (1) 1 (f) GDPR.

The subscribed newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails in HTML format. The embedded tracking pixel enables us to identify whether and when the newsletter was opened by the recipient and which links in the newsletter were clicked by the recipient. The data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are anonymously stored and processed for statistical purposes in order to optimise the newsletter distribution and adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the recipient’s interests.

In principle, our newsletter registration makes use of a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that, after signing up, you receive an email in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can sign up with someone else’s email address. Please note that you can object to the receipt of direct marketing and data processing for the purposes of direct marketing at any time. In this regard, you have a general right to object without stating grounds (Art. 21 (2) GDPR). After exercising your right to object, we will erase your data in connection with existing customer advertising. To this end, click the unsubscribe link in the email in question or send us your objection. You can also prevent tracking by deactivating image display in your email program by default. In this case, the newsletter is not fully displayed and you may not be able to use all the features. If you manually activate image display, the abovementioned tracking occurs.

In order to be able to provide our online offering securely and efficiently, we use the services of an external web hosting provider, from whose servers the online offering can be accessed. We may use infrastructure and platform services, computer capacity, storage capacity, database services, security services and technical maintenance services for these purposes. In this respect, all data that are required to operate and use our website are processed.

The data processed within the framework of the provision of the hosting offering may include all information relating to the users of our online offering that is collected within the scope of use and communication. This routinely includes the IP address, which is necessary in order to be able to deliver the contents of online offerings to browsers, and all entries made within our online offering or from websites.

We use external hosting services to run this website. By using external hosting services, we aim to make our website available in an efficient and secure manner. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) 1 (f) GDPR.

Data protection for job applicants

The application procedure presupposes that applicants provide us with the data necessary for their assessment and selection. The information required can be found in the job description or, in the case of online forms, in the information contained therein.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR on the initiation or execution of contractual relationships.

As a rule, emails are encrypted during transport but not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We can therefore accept no responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the reception on our server.

Applicants are welcome to contact us about how to submit their application or send it to us by post.

Sources of data

We process personal data that we receive from you by post or email within the framework of initial contact or your application or that you convey to us by email/post.

Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is unsuccessful, the applicants’ data are erased. Applicants’ data are also erased if an application is withdrawn, to which applicants are entitled at any time. Subject to a justified withdrawal by the applicants, the erasure will take place at the latest after the expiry of a period of six months, so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and comply with our duty of proof under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.

Right to object

If the processing of your personal data takes place to protect legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to object to the processing of this data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process this personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. These must override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing must be for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
