Under Swiss data protection law, personal data is processed in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, good faith, transparency, proportionality, purpose limitation and data security.
Where consent is required for a particular processing activity, we will ask for your consent before carrying out that processing. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.
Where the GDPR applies, processing may in particular be based on your consent, the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, compliance with a legal obligation, or the legitimate interests pursued by GE Watches SA or a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, taking into account applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements.
Personal data relating to enquiries and prospective commercial contacts may generally be retained for up to 24 months following the last meaningful exchange, unless a longer retention period is necessary for contractual, administrative or legal purposes.
Data relating to an existing or former contractual relationship may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with statutory retention obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
Access to personal data is limited to persons who need it in order to perform their duties on behalf of GE Watches SA.
Where necessary, personal data may also be processed by service providers acting on behalf of GE Watches SA, for example providers of website hosting, IT services, email services, website maintenance, analytics or other technical services.
Such service providers may process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide their services and subject to appropriate contractual and data protection safeguards.
Personal data may also be disclosed where required by law, a competent authority or a court.
Some of our service providers or their technical infrastructure may be located outside Switzerland.
Where personal data is transferred to another country, GE Watches SA takes the measures required by applicable Swiss data protection law to ensure an appropriate level of protection.
Where the destination country does not provide an adequate level of data protection, appropriate safeguards may be implemented, such as recognised standard contractual clauses or other measures permitted by applicable law.
GE Watches SA takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.
These measures are reviewed and adapted where appropriate, taking into account the nature of the data processed, the risks involved and the available technical measures.
Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), you may exercise the rights available to you under applicable law, including in particular the right to request information about whether personal data concerning you is being processed and to obtain information about that processing.
Where the applicable legal requirements are met, you may also request the correction or deletion of inaccurate or unlawfully processed personal data, request restrictions on certain processing activities and exercise your right to data portability.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Where the GDPR applies to a particular processing activity, you may also exercise the additional rights granted under the GDPR, subject to the conditions and limitations provided by law.
