General

1. Introduction

1.1 This data privacy policy applies to (among other products and services) this website and services offered through it.

1.2 This data privacy policy consists of the following sections:

(a) "General": applicable to all data subjects.

(b) Jurisdiction-specific supplements: applicable where, by virtue of domestic data protection law in the relevant jurisdiction, and/or applicable international private law, the Company's processing of your data is subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

(c) "Cookies": a supplement specifically addressing website cookies.

1.3 The provisions of the supplements described at (b) and (c) above are, insofar as applicable, in addition to, rather than instead of, the general section described at (a) above (of which this introduction forms part).

1.4 Data privacy policies provide a framework for safe, controlled handling of personal data. The nature of our services establishes obligations of confidentiality towards our clients (and may also be subject to legal privilege), and nothing in this privacy statement overrides those protections. Any mention in this policy of a possible use or disclosure of personal information should be interpreted as being restricted by those overarching obligations of confidentiality.

2. Purpose of this privacy policy

2.1 This privacy policy aims to give you information on how the Company collects and processes your personal data through:

(a) your use of the Company’s website;

(b) your use of the Company’s software-as-a-service ("SaaS") product offerings (including those listed at 1.1 above);

(c) your registration of a user account; and

(d) your (or your business’s) entry into a subscription agreement with the Company.

2.2 This website is a business website: it is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

2.3 It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy policy or fair processing policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.

2.4 References to the "Company" or "us" refer to Safal Sarl, whose registration details are published on www.safal.sarl.

2.5 The board of the Company is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please submit a request by email to hi Թ safal ․ sarl.

2.6 We keep our privacy policy under regular review. We may update this policy periodically in response to regulatory, policy, or internal changes. In case of change, we will publish the updated version on the Company website.

2.7 It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

2.9 This privacy policy includes this "general" section and several jurisdiction-specific addenda. The addenda may apply to you by virtue of your location, or may apply generally e.g. by virtue of the data storage locations (as disclosed below) or other legal bases. Where a jurisdiction-specific addendum applies, it is to be read in conjunction with, not instead of, the general section; but in case of conflict, the addenda take precedence.

Data Protection Statement of Safal Sarl

Version effective as of 20 September 2025.

With this Data Protection Statement we, Safal Sarl (hereinafter the "Company", "we" or "us"), describe how we collect and further process personal data. This Data Protection Statement is not necessarily a comprehensive description of our data processing. It is possible that other data protection statements or General Terms and Conditions, Conditions of Participation or similar documents are applicable to specific circumstances.

The term "personal data" in this Data Protection Statement to shall mean any information that identifies, or could reasonably be used to identify any person.

If you provide us with personal data of other persons (such as family members, work colleagues), please make sure the respective persons are aware of this Data Protection Statement and only provide us with their data if you are allowed to do so and such personal data is correct.

This Privacy Notice is aligned with the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA). However, the application of these laws depends on each individual case.

1. Controller

The "controller" of data processing as described in this data protection statement (i.e. the responsible person) is the Company. You can notify us of any data protection related concerns using the following contact details: hi Թ safal ․ sarl.

2. Collection and processing of personal data

We primarily process personal data that we obtain from our clients and other business partners as well as other individuals in the context of our business relationships with them or that we collect from users when operating our websites, apps and other applications.

Insofar as it is permitted to us and relevant to our business, we might obtain certain personal data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debt registers, land registries, commercial registers, press, internet), from authorities or other third parties (e.g. credit rating agencies, list brokers). Apart from data you provided to us directly, the categories of data we receive about you from third parties include, but are not limited to, information from public registers, data received in connection with administrative or court proceedings, information in connection with your professional role and activities (e.g. in order to conclude and carry out contracts with your employer), information about you in correspondence and discussions with third parties, credit rating information (if we conduct business activities with you personally), information about you given to us by individuals associated with you (family, consultants, legal representatives, etc.) in order to conclude or process contracts with you or with your involvement (e.g. references, your delivery address, powers of attorney), information regarding legal regulations such as anti-money laundering and export restrictions, bank details, information regarding insurances, our distributors and other business partners for the purpose of ordering or delivering services to you or by you (e.g., payments made, previous purchases), information about you found in the media or internet (insofar as indicated in the specific case, e.g. in connection with job applications, media reviews, marketing/sales, etc.), your address and any interests and other socio-demographic data (for marketing purposes), data in connection with your use of our websites (e.g. IP address, MAC address of your smartphone or computers, information regarding your device and settings, cookies, date and time of your visit, sites and content retrieved, applications used, referring website, localization data).

3. Purpose of data processing and legal basis

We primarily use collected data in order to conclude and process contracts with our clients and business partners, in particular in connection with the provision of legal consultancy services to our clients and the procurement of products and services from our suppliers and subcontractors, as well as in order to comply with our domestic and foreign legal obligations. You may be affected by our data processing in your capacity as an employee of such a client or business partner.

In addition, in line with applicable law and where appropriate, we may process your personal data and personal data of third parties for the following purposes, which are in our (or, as the case may be, any third parties') legitimate interest, such as:

(a) providing and developing our products, services and websites, apps and other platforms, on which we are active;

(b) communication with third parties and processing of their requests (e.g., job applications, media inquiries);

(c) review and optimization of procedures regarding needs assessment for the purpose of direct customer approach as well as obtaining personal data from publicly accessible sources for customer acquisition;

(d) advertisement and marketing (including organizing events), provided that you have not objected to the use of your data for this purpose (if you are part of our customer base and you receive our advertisement, you may object at any time and we will place you on a blacklist against further advertising mailings);

(e) market and opinion research, media surveillance;

(f) asserting legal claims and defense in legal disputes and official proceedings;

(g) prevention and investigation of criminal offences and other misconduct (e.g. conducting internal investigations, data analysis to combat fraud);

(h) ensuring our operation, including our IT, our websites, apps and other appliances;

(i) video surveillance to protect our domiciliary rights and other measures to ensure the safety of our premises and facilities as well as protection of our employees and other individuals and assets owner by or entrusted to us (such as e.g. access controls, visitor logs, network and mail scanners, telephone recordings);

(h) acquisition and sale of business divisions, companies or parts of companies and other corporate transactions and the transfer of personal data related thereto as well as measures for business management and compliance with legal and regulatory obligations as well as internal regulations of the Company.

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (for example when registering to receive newsletters or carrying out a background check), we will process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis, provided that we require one. Consent given can be withdrawn at any time, but this does not affect data processed prior to withdrawal.

4. Data transfer and transfer of data abroad

In the context of our business activities and in line with the purposes of the data processing set out in Section 3, we may transfer data to third parties, insofar as such a transfer is permitted and we deem it appropriate, in order for them to process data for us or, as the case may be, their own purposes. In particular, the following categories of recipients may be concerned - subject always to our obligations of client confidentality:

(a) our service providers (e.g. banks, insurers), including processors (such as e.g. IT providers);

(b) dealers, suppliers, subcontractors and other business partners;

(c) domestic and foreign authorities or courts;

(d) the media;

(e) the public, including users of our websites and social media;

(f) competitors, industry organizations, associations, organizations and other bodies;

(g) acquirers or parties interested in the acquisition of business divisions, companies or other parts of the Company; and

(h) other parties in possible or pending legal proceedings

("Recipients").

Certain Recipients may be within Switzerland but they may be located in any country worldwide. In particular, you must anticipate your data to be transmitted to any country in which the Company is represented by affiliates, branches, business partners, or other offices (such as the United Kingdom) as well as to other countries in Europe and the USA where our service providers are located (such as Microsoft).

If a recipient is located in a country without adequate statutory data protection, we require the recipient to undertake to comply with data protection (for this purpose, we use the revised European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, which can be accessed here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?), unless the recipient is subject to a legally accepted set of rules to ensure data protection and unless we cannot rely on an exception. An exception may apply for example in case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interest or if the performance of a contract requires disclosure, if you have consented or if data has been made available generally by you and you have not objected against the processing.

5. Retention periods for your personal data

We process and retain your personal data as long as required for the performance of our contractual obligation and compliance with legal obligations or other purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation, during the performance of the contract until it is terminated) as well as beyond this duration in accordance with legal retention and documentation obligations. Personal data may be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted against our company or insofar as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or if legitimate business interests require further retention (e.g., for evidence and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data are no longer required for the abovementioned purposes, they will be deleted or anonymized, to the extent possible. In general, shorter retention periods of no more than twelve months apply for operational data (e.g., system logs).

6. Data security

We have taken appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access and misuse such as internal policies, training, IT and network security solutions, access controls and restrictions, encryption of data carriers and transmissions, and pseudonymisation.

7. Necessity in certain circumstances to provide personal data to us

In the context of our business relationship you may be required to furnish us with any personal data that is necessary for the conclusion and performance of a business relationship and the performance of our contractual obligations (as a rule, there is no statutory requirement to provide us with data). Without this information, we will usually not be able to enter into or carry out a contract with you (or the entity or person you represent). In addition, the website cannot be used unless certain information is disclosed to enable data traffic (e.g. IP address).

9. Your rights

In accordance with and as far as provided by applicable law, you have the right to access, rectification and erasure of your personal data, the right to restriction of processing or to object to our data processing, in particular for direct marketing purposes, for profiling carried out for direct marketing purposes and for other legitimate interests in processing in addition to right to receive certain personal data for transfer to another controller (data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce statutory restrictions on our part, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have an overriding interest (insofar as we may invoke such interests) or need the data for asserting claims. If exercising certain rights will incur costs on you, we will notify you thereof in advance. We have already informed you of the possibility to withdraw consent in Section 3 above. Please further note that the exercise of these rights may be in conflict with your contractual obligations and this may result in consequences such as premature contract termination or involve costs. If this is the case, we will inform you in advance unless it has already been contractually agreed upon.

In general, exercising these rights requires that you are able to prove your identity (e.g., by a copy of identification documents where your identity is not evident otherwise or can be verified in another way). In order to assert these rights, please contact us at the addresses provided in Section 1 above.

In addition, every data subject has the right to enforce his/her rights in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority of Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

10. Amendments of this data protection statement

We may amend this data protection statement at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website shall apply. If the data protection statement is part of an agreement with you, we will notify you by email or other appropriate means in case of an amendment, unless the previous version of the data protection statement continues to apply for the pursposes of that agreement specifically.

Supplement for European Union

1. You have the right to:

(a) Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

(b) Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

(c) Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

(d) Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

(e) Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

(i) If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

(ii) Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.

(iii) Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

(iv) You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

(f) Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

(g) Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

2. Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws to:

(a) Request copies of your personal data

(b) Request correction of your personal data

(c) Request erasure of your personal data

(d) Object to processing of your personal data

(e) Request restriction of processing your personal data

(f) Request transfer of your personal data

(g) Withdraw consent to the processing of your personal data

3. If you wish to enquire as to the availability of the above rights, please contact hi Թ safal ․ sarl.

4. You will not usually have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may be entitled to charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

5. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

6. We try to respond to all legitimate enquiries within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer, if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we may notify you and keep you updated.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

(viii) Comply with a legal obligation.

(ix) Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

(d) Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by email at hi Թ safal ․ sarl.

Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

(i) Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.

(ii) Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

(e) Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 1 month of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
