Website Users

This document concerns data subjects (“Data Subject”, “you”, “your”) whose personal information is collected by us when you act as user of our websites or provide us your information as explained below.

This Privacy Policy is based on the “Bundesgesetz über den Datenschutz” 1992 as amended (“DSG”) [Swiss Federal Act on data protection] https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/1993/1945_1945_1945/de. MGT is authorized to treat and process personal data pursuant to those laws and regulations and by the Swiss Eidgenössischer Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragter (EDÖB) [Swiss Federal data protection and information commissioner]. Although the GDPR is a regulation of the European Union, it is of relevance to us. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy is also based on the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation EU 2016/679) as amended (“GDPR”),

In this document we shall refer to the above mentioned DSG and GDPR.

Personal data

Under the DSG personal data is defined as “all information relating to an identified or identifiable individual”.

Under the GDPR personal data is defined as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“Data Subject”), by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person”.

The Data Controller

Under the DSG a data controller is the private person or federal body that decides on the purpose and content of a data file. MGT is the data controller as defined by DSG (“Data Controller”).

Under the GDPR a data controller is the individual or legal person who controls and is responsible to keep and use personal data in paper or electronic files. MGT is the Data Controller as defined by the GDPR.

Lawful Processing

The lawful legal basis for the processing of your personal data is contemplated in the DSG and GDPR.

At least one of these must apply whenever personal data is to be processed:

Contract performance: the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract you have with MGT, which had asked you to take specific steps before entering a contract.
Compliance with legal obligation: the processing is necessary for MGT to comply with the law in the jurisdictions where MGT operates (not including contractual obligations).
Public interest: the processing is necessary to perform a task that is in the public interest or for its official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law.
Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for MGT's legitimate interests, or the legitimate interests of a third-party, including MGT Customers, unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data that overrides those legitimate interests.
