Recipients of the data

The personal data collected is intended for gmatswitzerland.ch’s commercial and accounting departments. It may be transmitted to gmatswitzerland.ch’s subsidiaries, or to third-party data processors which gmatswitzerland.ch is authorized to use within the context of the performance of its Services.

In this context, personal data may be transferred to an EU or non-EU country. gmatswitzerland.ch implements guarantees ensuring the protection and security of this data, in compliance with applicable rules and regulations.

Data retention period

To satisfy its legal obligations or in order to have the necessary elements to assert its rights, gmatswitzerland.ch will be able to retain the data under the conditions established by applicable rules and regulations.

Thus, personal data collected by gmatswitzerland.ch relating to the identity and contact details of its Users is retained for a maximum period of two years after the termination of the contractual relationship for Users that are customers, or from their collection by the data controller or the last contact from the Users that are prospects, for the data relating to the latter.

The termination of the contractual relationship is understood as the express termination of the contract by the User, or the non-use of gmatswitzerland.ch Services for a period of five years.

Where applicable, the User may request the portability of their personal data or, where the legal basis for the processing is consent, withdraw their consent at any time.

The Users may exercise their rights by sending an email to gmat@gmx.ch.
