Privacy Policy of Pascal Stalder
Version dated 18.05.2026
In this Privacy Policy, I, Pascal Stalder, explain how we collect and otherwise process personal data. This is not an exhaustive description; in some cases, other privacy policies [or general terms and conditions, participation condi-tions, and similar documents] may regulate specific matters. Personal data re-fers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person.
If you provide us with personal data of other persons (e.g. family members, data of colleagues), please ensure that these persons are aware of this Priva-cy Policy and only share their personal data with us if you are authorised to do so and if the data is correct.
This Privacy Policy is based on the requirements of the EU General Data Pro-tection Regulation (“GDPR”), the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”), and the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (“revFADP”). Whether and to what extent these laws apply depends on the individual case.
1. Controller / Data Protection Officer / Representative

2. Collection and Processing of Personal Data
We primarily process the personal data that we receive in the context of our business relationship with our customers and other business partners from these and other involved persons, or that we collect from users when operat-ing our websites, apps, and other applications.
Where permitted, we also obtain certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, press, in-ternet) or receive such data from other companies within Pascal Stalder, from authorities, and from other third parties. In addition to the data you provide di-rectly to us, the categories of personal data we receive from third parties about you include in particular information from public registers, information obtained in connection with administrative and court proceedings, information related to your professional functions and activities (so that we can, for example, con-clude and process business with your employer with your assistance), infor-mation about you in correspondence and meetings with third parties, credit-worthiness information (where we conduct business with you personally), in-formation about you provided by persons in your environment (family, advi-sors, legal representatives, etc.) so that we can conclude or process contracts with you or involving you (e.g. references, your address for deliveries, authori-sations, information on compliance with legal requirements such as anti-money laundering and export restrictions, information from banks, insurance companies, distribution and other contractual partners of ours regarding the use or provision of services by you (e.g. payments made, purchases made)), information from media and the internet about you (where appropriate in the specific case, e.g. in the context of job applications, press reviews, market-ing/sales, etc.), your addresses and, where applicable, interests and other so-cio-demographic data (for marketing), data in connection with the use of the website (e.g. IP address, MAC address of smartphone or computer, infor-mation about your device and settings, cookies, date and time of visit, pages and content accessed, functions used, referring website, location data).
3. Purposes of Data Processing and Legal Bases
We use the personal data we collect primarily to provide and further develop our services, content, and offerings in the field of parrot keeping, education, community, and information dissemination, as well as to communicate with users, partners, and interested parties and to comply with our legal obligations in Switzerland and abroad. If you work for such a customer or business part-ner, you may also be affected by the processing of your personal data in this capacity.
In addition, we process your personal data and that of other persons, where permitted and as we deem appropriate, for the following purposes in which we (and sometimes third parties) have a legitimate interest:
— Provision and further development of our services, offerings, websites, apps, and other platforms on which we are present;
— Communication with third parties and handling of their requests (e.g. job applications, media enquiries);
— Review and optimisation of procedures for needs analysis for direct cus-tomer communication and collection of personal data from publicly accessible sources for customer acquisition;
— Advertising and marketing (including event organisation), provided you have not objected to the use of your data (if we send you advertising as an ex-isting customer, you may object at any time, and we will place you on a sup-pression list for further marketing communications);
— Market and opinion research, media monitoring;
— Assertion of legal claims and defence in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;
— Prevention and investigation of criminal offences and other misconduct (e.g. internal investigations, data analysis for fraud prevention);
— Ensuring our operations, in particular IT systems, our websites, apps, and other platforms;
— IT security measures to protect our employees and other persons as well as assets belonging to us or entrusted to us (e.g. visitor lists, network and email scanners, telephone recordings);
— Purchase and sale of business units, companies, or parts of companies and other corporate transactions, including the transfer of personal data and measures for business management and, where necessary, compliance with legal and regulatory obligations as well as internal rules of Pascal Stalder.
Where you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (e.g. subscribing to newsletters or conducting background checks), we process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis requiring processing. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, which does not affect data processing already carried out.
4. Data Disclosure and Transfer Abroad
Within the scope of our business activities and the purposes set out in Section 3, and where permitted and appropriate, we also disclose personal data to third parties, either because they process it for us or because they intend to use it for their own purposes. This includes in particular:
— Our service providers (within Pascal Stalder and external, e.g. banks, insur-ers), including processors (e.g. IT providers);
— Dealers, suppliers, subcontractors, and other business partners;
— Customers;
— Domestic and foreign authorities, administrative offices, or courts;
— Media;
— The public, including website and social media visitors;
— Competitors, industry organisations, associations, and other bodies;
— Buyers or interested parties in the acquisition of business units, companies, or other parts of Pascal Stalder;
— Other parties in potential or actual legal proceedings;
— Other companies of Pascal Stalder;
all together referred to as recipients.
These recipients are partly located domestically but may be located anywhere in the world. In particular, you should expect data transfers to all countries in which Pascal Stalder is represented by group companies, branches, or other offices, as well as to other countries in Europe and the USA where our service providers are located (e.g. Microsoft, Weblium, WordPress).
If a recipient is located in a country without adequate data protection, we con-tractually oblige the recipient to comply with applicable data protection laws (using the revised Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commis-sion, available at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?), unless they are already subject to a legally recognised framework ensuring data pro-tection or an exception applies.
An exception may apply, for example, in foreign legal proceedings, overriding public interests, contractual necessity, consent, or where data has been made publicly available by you and you have not objected to its processing.
5. Storage Period of Personal Data
We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for fulfilling our contractual and legal obligations or for the purposes pursued by the pro-cessing, i.e. for the duration of the entire business relationship (from initiation, processing, to termination of a contract) and beyond in accordance with statu-tory retention and documentation obligations.
It is also possible that personal data is stored for the period in which claims may be asserted against our company or where we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or have legitimate business interests (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes).
Once your personal data is no longer required for the above purposes, it is generally deleted or anonymised where possible.
Operational data (e.g. system logs) are generally subject to shorter retention periods of twelve months or less.
6. Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access and misuse.
7. Obligation to Provide Personal Data
Within the scope of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data necessary for establishing and conducting a business relationship and fulfilling associated contractual obligations (as a rule, there is no legal obliga-tion to provide us with data).
Without this data, we will generally not be able to conclude or perform a con-tract with you (or the entity or person you represent). The website also cannot be used if certain information necessary for data transmission (e.g. IP address) is not disclosed.
8. Profiling [and Automated Decision-Making]
We process your personal data partly automatically with the aim of evaluating certain personal aspects (profiling). We use profiling in particular to provide you with targeted information and advice about products. We use evaluation tools that enable us to conduct needs-based communication and advertising, including market and opinion research.
For establishing and carrying out the business relationship, and otherwise, we generally do not use fully automated decision-making (as defined in Art. 22 GDPR). If we use such procedures in individual cases, we will inform you sep-arately where legally required and explain your related rights.
9. Rights of Data Subjects
Within the scope of applicable data protection law and where provided for (such as under the GDPR), you have the right to access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing—particularly for direct mar-keting, profiling for direct advertising, and other legitimate interests—as well as the right to receive certain personal data for transfer to another entity (data portability).
Please note that we reserve the right to enforce legal limitations, for example where we are required to store or process certain data, have a legitimate over-riding interest (where applicable), or need the data for the assertion of claims.
If costs arise, we will inform you in advance. Information regarding withdrawal of consent has already been provided in Section 3.
Please note that exercising these rights may conflict with contractual agree-ments and may result in consequences such as early termination of contracts or cost implications. Where not already contractually regulated, we will inform you in advance.
Exercising such rights generally requires clear proof of identity (e.g. a copy of an identification document if identity is otherwise unclear or cannot be veri-fied).
To exercise your rights, you may contact us at the address provided in Section 1.
Every data subject also has the right to enforce their claims in court or lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent authori-ty in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).
10. Changes
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies.
Where the Privacy Policy forms part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of changes by email or other appropriate means in case of an update.
