Purpose of data processing

The purpose of processing, i.e. the way in which we process your personal data, depends on how you interact with us. In general, we process personal data especially to run a private school at all school levels according to international curricula, i.e. a care, support and training center for young people.

In addition, we also process personal data of you and other persons for the following purposes, where permitted and where we deem it appropriate, in which we (and sometimes third parties) have a legitimate interest corresponding to the purpose, especially:

• Offer and further develop our services, products and websites, apps and other platforms on which we are present;
• Communication with you;
• Communication with third parties and processing of their inquiries (e.g. job applications, media inquiries);
• Fulfillment of contractual obligations
• Training and educational purposes
• Assertion of legal and other claims and defense in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings
• Prevention and investigation of criminal offenses and other misconduct, including conducting investigations

We process data for marketing purposes and to maintain relationships, e.g. to send our students or other contractual partners personalized advertising or recommendations.

This may, for example, take the form of newsletters and other regular contacts (electronically, by post, by telephone), via other channels for which we have contact information from you, but also as part of individual marketing campaigns (e.g. events, competitions, etc.) and may also include free services (e.g. invitations, vouchers, etc.). You can refuse such contacts at any time or refuse or revoke your consent to being contacted for advertising purposes.

We also process your data for market research, to improve our services and operations and for product development.

We may process your data for other purposes, e.g. as part of our internal processes and administration or for training and quality assurance purposes.

Disclosure to third parties

In connection with our contracts, the website, our services and products, our legal obligations or otherwise to protect our legitimate interests we may – if needed with our consent – transfer your personal data to third parties, in particular to the following categories of recipients:

• School or other (public) authorities
• Third parties (e.g. IT providers, Consultants, Insurances, Accountants etc.)
• Other persons (e.g. Payment Providers, Attorneys)

All these categories of recipients may in turn involve third parties, so that your data may also become accessible to them. We can restrict the processing by certain third parties (e.g. IT providers), but not by other third parties (e.g. authorities etc.).

The recipients of your data may be located in Switzerland and Poland. Please also note that data exchanged via the Internet is often routed via third countries. Your data may therefore end up abroad even if the sender and recipient are located in the same country.

Duration of storage of personal data

We process your data for as long as our processing purposes, the statutory retention periods and our legitimate interests in processing for documentation and evidence purposes require it or storage is technically necessary. If there are no legal or contractual obligations to the contrary, we will delete or anonymize your data after the storage or processing period has expired as part of our processes.

Data Security

We take appropriate security measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your personal data, to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful processing and to counteract the risks of loss, unintentional alteration, unwanted disclosure or unauthorized access.

In particular, the following measures were taken:

• Access restrictions and controls
• Data backups
• IT network and security solutions
• Encryption of data carriers and transmissions
• Training courses
• Controls

Data Protection Rights

To make it easier for you to control the processing of your personal data, you also have the following rights in connection with our data processing, depending on the applicable data protection law:

• The right to request information from us as to whether and what data we process about you;
• the right to have us correct data if it is incorrect;
• the right to request the deletion of data;
