External recipients: We only forward your personal data to external recipients outside PFS if this is necessary for the administering or processing of your issue, if another legal authorization exists, or if we have your consent to forward the data.

Group companies in Dr. Ing. h.c. F.

6. Data processing in third countries

Our processing is concentrated in Switzerland and Germany, but your personal data may also be processed in other countries (worldwide). If data is transferred to entities whose registered office or place of data processing is not located in a member state of the European Union or in another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or in Switzerland, we contractually obligate the recipient to comply with the applicable data protection law (for this purpose, we use the revised standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which can be accessed here: eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj, including Swiss legal adaptations), unless the recipient is already subject to a legally recognized set of rules to ensure data protection and we cannot rely on an exemption provision. You can obtain from us an overview of the recipients in third countries and a copy of the specifically agreed regulations for ensuring the appropriate level of data protection. Please use the information under point 1 for this purpose.

 

7. Duration of storage, deletion

We store your personal data only as long as this is necessary for the fulfilment of the intended purposes or - in the case of a consent - as long as you have not revoked the consent. In the event of an objection to processing, we will delete your personal data unless further processing is permitted by the relevant legal provisions. We delete your personal data even if we are obliged to do so for other legal reasons.

In accordance with these general principles, we usually delete your personal data immediately

  • after the legal and other legal basis (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods) has ceased to apply. If the latter is the case, we will delete the data once the other legal basis no longer applies.
  • if they are no longer necessary for the purposes of preparing and executing a contract or justified interests pursued by us and if no other legal basis (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law) intervenes. If the latter is the case, we will delete the data once the other legal basis no longer applies.
  • if the purpose of the recording we pursue ceases to apply and no other legal basis (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law) intervenes. If the latter is the case, we will delete the data once the other legal basis no longer applies.
