• Communicate with us via email or other channels of communication
• When you ask us to send you announcements, newsletters or other (marketing) information
• When you register for an event.
• When you have an enquiry about our services or order services from us

In certain cases, we expand your personal data using information that we have found out from other sources, such as publicly available search engines, sector-specific newsletters, social media platforms and via your employer’s website in order to determine/confirm your current job role.

We require your personal data for communication purposes, for example:

• To send you newsletters, information about products and services, as well as other information about Messerli
• To send you invitations to events, courses, conferences and lectures
• To maintain our contact database.

As outlined above, we process your personal data for communication purposes. This is based on our legitimate interests to remain in contact with you as a business partner and to communicate with you to keep you informed of activities and events. Our understanding is that our legitimate interests are in compliance with the regulation and your rights.

Messerli is a Swiss company. Your personal data are processed in Switzerland and are stored on servers in Switzerland. To distribute our newsletter, we store your data in MailChimp. The MailChimp servers are located in the United States. MailChimp accepts the Privacy Shield regulations and is able to receive European data legally. For certain online forms, we use OptinMonster. OptinMonster stores the data you enter on servers in the United States.

Your personal data are stored for the duration of the purposes specified here while you are a business partner of Messerli. You can be removed from our database at any time should you no longer wish to receive information from us. If you take this decision, we will no longer send you any such information.

Messerli has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss and unauthorised access.

You have the right to know what personal data we process about you and can request a copy. You also have the right to demand that incorrect personal data about you be corrected and – in certain cases – you may ask us to delete your personal data. You can also refuse to accept the processing of certain personal data and can demand that the data processing be limited. Please note that the limiting or deletion of your personal data may lead to us being unable to send you any communications and invitations, as described above. In addition, you also have the right to receive your personal data on a computer-readable data storage medium and to pass these on to a third party. Should you disagree with our data processing, you can report this to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) and/or the responsible supervisory bodies in the EU.
