With your consent, we may also use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its content and performance.

The duration of cookies and similar technologies varies depending on their purpose and the service used.

5. Email and business communication

If you contact us by email or otherwise communicate with us, we process the personal data you provide in order to respond to your message, maintain our relationship with you and manage the related business communication.

This may include your name, contact details, company, position, correspondence and other information relevant to the communication or business relationship.

Where the GDPR applies, processing may be based on the performance of a contract, steps taken at your request, consent or our legitimate interest in maintaining professional and business relationships, as applicable.

Email communication may be processed through external IT, email and communication service providers.

6. Newsletter and marketing communications

Tschopp Group AG publishes the Beyond M&A newsletter and may send other relevant information about its activities, Insights and related topics.

For this purpose, we may process information such as:

• name and email address;
• company and professional information where available;
• newsletter subscription and unsubscribe status;
• information relating to the origin and management of the subscription;
• delivery, bounce and similar technical information;
• email engagement information such as opens and clicks where tracking is enabled.

Newsletter subscriptions and marketing communications are managed using HubSpot.

We send newsletters to persons who have subscribed or where sending such communications is otherwise permitted under applicable law.

Where the GDPR applies, processing may be based on consent or, where permitted, our legitimate interests in communicating with existing professional and business contacts.

Every marketing email provides a simple way to unsubscribe or manage communication preferences. An unsubscribe request will be respected for future marketing communications.

Where necessary, we may retain limited information about an unsubscribe request in order to ensure that the person is not inadvertently subscribed again.

Email open and click information may be collected using tracking technologies integrated into marketing emails. Such information is used to understand the effectiveness and relevance of our communications and to improve future content.

7. External platforms

Tschopp Group AG may maintain profiles, publish content or interact with users on external platforms such as LinkedIn.

If you interact with us through such platforms, personal data may be processed both by Tschopp Group AG and by the respective platform provider. The processing carried out by those providers is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

8. Service providers

We may use external service providers for purposes including:

• website hosting and operation;
• customer relationship management;
• newsletter and email communication;
• analytics;
• IT infrastructure and security;
• business administration.

These providers may process personal data on our behalf as processors or, depending on the service, as independent controllers.

Our service providers include HubSpot, which we use for customer relationship management, website functions, subscription management and marketing email communication.

We do not sell personal data.

9. International data transfers

Personal data may be processed in Switzerland, the European Economic Area, the United States or other countries in which our service providers operate.

Where personal data is transferred to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection under applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards where required. These may include recognised standard contractual clauses or other legally permitted transfer mechanisms.

HubSpot provides contractual data protection safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses, through its Data Processing Agreement.

10. Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal or contractual obligations, or to protect legitimate business interests.

Business and correspondence data may be retained for the duration of the business relationship and for an appropriate period thereafter.

Newsletter data is retained for as long as the subscription or relevant communication relationship exists. After an unsubscribe request, limited information may continue to be retained where necessary to document and respect the opt-out.

Technical, analytics and tracking data is retained according to its purpose, our configuration and the retention periods of the services used.

* request information about personal data processed about you;
* request correction of inaccurate personal data;
* request deletion of personal data;
* request restriction of processing;
* object to certain processing;

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may object to such processing at any time. You may also unsubscribe from the Beyond M&A newsletter directly through the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.

You may contact us at any time at info@tschoppgroup.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). Where the GDPR applies, you may also contact the competent supervisory authority in the relevant EU or EEA country.
