3. Cookies:
When you visit our Website, information such as IP addresses, browser types, domain names and other statistical data about the use of the Website may be automatically stored on your devices (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). This takes place in the form of so-called "cookies" or a similar file. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses.
The data that we obtain with the cookies will be used to improve the services we offer and produce internal market analyses, save the language settings, allocate IP addresses by region, check whether JavaScript can be used, conduct an anonymous analysis of the use of the Website or improve the speed/security of the Website. We do not use cookies to collect any personally identifiable information (without your explicit permission), collect any sensitive information (without your explicit permission), pass data to advertising networks, pass personally identifiable data to third parties or pay sales commissions. The information collected will never be used to personally identify any person using this Website.
When you first visit our Website, you will be asked to accept the cookies. If the settings on the software that you are using to view this Website (your browser) are adjusted to accept cookies we take this, and your continued use of our Website, to mean that you are fine with this. Should you wish to remove or not use cookies from our Website, most browsers allow you to delete cookies, prevent their installation or generate a warning before a cookie is installed (see below). However, doing so will likely mean that our Website will not work as you would expect.
How to turn cookies off:
You can set your browser so that cookies from our Website are not saved on your hard drive. You can also delete cookies that are already stored on your computer. Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. You can usually easily switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies (learn how here). Doing so, however, will likely limit the functionality of the Website as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites.
It may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so called “spyware”. Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive. Learn more about managing cookies with antispyware software.
4. Disclosure to third parties:
Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be disclosed to third-party service providers both in Switzerland and internationally, provided they agree to process such data in line with this Privacy Policy and the applicable data protection laws, thus guaranteeing equal protection for your personal data. We guarantee that we will not forward your personal data for commercial purposes or for any purpose other than that which is evident from the circumstances or provided for by law.
5. Data protection and security measures:
We ensure that adequate technical and organizational measures are taken to secure your personal data against loss or any unlawful processing. Our IT environment has been implemented with IT security and data protection as the highest priority. Our infrastructure is hosted in Switzerland and is fully compliant with the FADP. Technical measures taken by us include the use of user identification and/or continuous logging. Access to all our repositories that contain customer data (personal and non-personal data) is password protected. Online submissions through the interactive forms on our Website are also performed with an HTTPS encrypted connection.
However, we draw your attention to the fact that data transmission over the Internet may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by unauthorised third parties is not possible. You hereby acknowledge that transmission of data to/from our Website is at your own risk and PROGRESSYV Advisors GmbH shall not be held liable, whether contractually or non-contractually, for any damage in connection with the transmission of data.
The Website may also contain references (such as hyperlinks, banners or buttons) to other websites. This does not mean that we are related to these other websites or the owners thereof. We therefore are not responsible for the compliance with the privacy legislation by these third parties.
6. Data protection, data processing, data retention & storage:
We will store your data until such time when you withdraw your consent for us to do so. All other data as specified above will be retained for as long as it is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it. We may also retain information as required by law.

As a data subject you have the right to know what personal data is being processed by us and you may at any time request information regarding the origin, disclosure, purpose of collection and use, duration of storage and, if applicable, the country to which the personal data has been disclosed. In addition, you may request to provide you with a copy of your personal data. Furthermore, at your request, we will rectify, supplement, correct, erase or restrict the processing of personal data, unless the processing is justified by our legitimate interests or is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
