II. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

[Abaris Investment Management AG] (hereinafter referred to as “AIM” or “we”) only collects and uses personal data of the users of this website insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as for its content and services. The personal data of our users will normally only be collected and processed with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for material reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal provisions.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In general, the processing of personal data has its legal basis in the relevant law applicable.

In case of application of the GDPR: Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR provides the legal basis for the processing of personal data. Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR provides the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary in order to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is required in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR provides the legal basis. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR provides the legal basis. If processing is necessary in order to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR provides the legal basis for processing.

3. Data erasure and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Furthermore, data may be stored if provided for by national legislators to which the controller is subject. The data will also be erased or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for the continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

(2) the categories of personal data being processed;

You have the right to demand information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may demand to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have the right to obtain rectification and/or completion from the controller without undue delay if your personal data processed are incorrect or incomplete.

3. Right to restriction of processing

You may request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted where one of the following applies:

(1) you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;

(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or

(4) you have lodged an objection to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may only be processed - apart from being stored - with your consent or for the purpose of the establishment, exercise or defence of rights or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of important public interest.

If the processing has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Duty to erase

You may request the controller to erase your personal data without undue delay. The controller is obliged to erase this data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

(2) you withdraw your consent, on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing;

(3) you lodge an objection against the processing and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for the processing;

(4) the personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully;

(5) the deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary in order to fulfil a legal obligation under any law to which the controller is subject to; or

(6) the personal data concerning you were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it, the controller, taking account of available technology and reasonable cost of implementation, will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:

(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) as well as Art. 9(3) GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89(1) GDPR in so far as the right referred to in paragraph (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or

(5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. Right to be informed

If you have exercised your right to have the controller rectify or erase data or restrict its processing, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of such recipients.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; and

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

7. Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies for profiling based on those provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies for profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to withdraw consent on data processing

You have the right to withdraw your consent on data processing at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal.

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects on you or which affects you in a similarly significant way. This does not apply if the decision:

(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and a data controller;

(2) is authorised by law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard yours rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or

(3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special sensitive categories of personal data unless legal exceptions apply and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller will implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

IX. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU-Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

In such a case, the supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
