Personal data such as name, email address, or postal address are collected, wherever possible, on a voluntary basis. No data will be shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is anyone whose data is being processed.
Processing includes any operation performed on data: collection, storage, modification, use, transmission, deletion or destruction.

Tigusto processes personal data in compliance with Swiss data protection law.
Where applicable, we also process personal data pursuant to Art. 6, paragraph 1 of the GDPR, based on the following legal bases:

(a) With the explicit consent of the data subject
(b) For the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures
(c) To comply with legal obligations
(d) To protect the vital interests of the data subject or of third parties
(f) For the legitimate interests of Tigusto or third parties, provided that the fundamental rights of the data subject do not prevail (e.g. IT security, protection from abuse, defense of legal rights)

Data is processed for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. In the event of longer legal retention obligations, processing will be limited accordingly.
