1 Statement on data protection
We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is a key priority for the management of Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA. In general, it is possible to use the website of Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA without disclosure of personal data. If a user wishes to access certain specific services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. Should this situation occur and, in the absence of a specific legal basis for such a requirement, we will normally ask for the consent of the person concerned.
The processing of personal data such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject is always managed in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Data Protection Law as applicable to Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA. Via this data protection statement, our company wishes to inform you about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection, use and processing of personal data. In addition to this, data subjects will find information about their rights.
In its function as data controller, Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA has put in place multiple technical and organizational measures to ensure, to the maximum possible extent, seamless protection of the processing of personal data on its website. It is nevertheless possible that when data is transmitted over the internet a security breach may occur, such that it is not possible to guarantee total protection. In consequence, any person concerned may also send us sensitive data by other means, such as the telephone.
Any employee with access to sensitive data or information is subject to an obligation of confidentiality. In some cases, this is a consequence of their professional status (e.g. a doctor is subject to medical secrecy under Article 321 of the Swiss Code Pénal) while others are bound by a confidentiality agreement concerning data and information processed. This obligation applies also to external employees, relevant third parties or visitors to Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA, who are required to sign confidentiality agreement before visiting Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA.
Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA keeps all personal data in electronic form on its own servers located in Switzerland. Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA transmits such data abroad only if necessary for the provision of services and if the data protection standards of the country concerned match those of Switzerland. If the data protection provisions are not comparable, Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA enters into a “Data Processing Agreement” with the supplier in question. The provisions of this data protection statement, as well as those foreseen by Swiss data protection legislation, apply to transmission of data within Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA; in consequence, Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier SA is not required to request separate authorization for such purposes.
