Version dated 1 January 2026

In this privacy policy, we, HUMN AG, explain how we collect, store and process personal data. This is not an exhaustive description; other privacy policies or general terms and conditions, conditions of participation and similar documents may regulate specific matters. Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person.

This privacy policy is designed to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’), the Swiss Data Protection Act (“FADP”) and the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (‘revFADP’). However, whether and to what extent these laws apply depends on the individual case.

1. Responsibility

HUMN AG, Vassilis Donikian, Dufourstrasse 35, 8702 Zollikon, is responsible for the data processing described here. If you have any concerns regarding data protection, please contact us at the following address: vassilis.donikian@humn.ch.

2. Collection and processing of personal data

We primarily process personal data that we receive from our customers and other business partners in the course of our business relationship with them and other persons involved, or that we collect from users when operating our website and/or other applications. In addition to the data you provide to us directly, the categories of personal data we receive about you from third parties include, in particular, data related to your use of the website (e.g. IP address, MAC address of your smartphone or computer, information about your device and settings, cookies, date and time of your visit, pages and content accessed, functions used, referring website, location information).

3. Purposes of data processing and legal bases

We use the personal data we collect primarily to conclude, comply with and process our services with our customers and business partners.

In addition, we process personal data from you and other persons, to the extent permitted and as we deem appropriate, for the following purposes, in which we (and sometimes third parties) have a legitimate interest:

  • Offering and further developing our offerings, services and websites, apps and other platforms on which we are present;
  • Communicating with third parties and processing their enquiries (e.g. job applications, media enquiries);
    Advertising and marketing (including the organisation of events), provided you have not objected to the use of your data (if we send you advertising as an existing customer, you can object to this at any time and we will then place you on a block list to prevent further advertising mailings);
  • Asserting legal claims and defending ourselves in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;
  • Preventing and investigating criminal offences and other misconduct (e.g. conducting internal investigations, data analysis to combat fraud);
  • Ensuring the smooth running of our business, in particular our IT systems, websites, apps and other platforms;

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (for example, when you register to receive newsletters), we will process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis and require one. Consent that has been given can be revoked at any time, but this will not affect data processing that has already taken place.

4. Cookies/tracking and other technologies related to the use of our website

We typically use cookies and similar technologies on our websites to identify your browser or device. A cookie is a small file that is sent to your computer or automatically stored on your computer or mobile device by the web browser you use when you visit our website. When you visit this website again, we can recognise you even if we do not know who you are. In addition to cookies that are only used during a session and deleted after your visit to the website (‘session cookies’), cookies can also be used to store user settings and other information for a certain period of time (‘permanent cookies’). However, you can set your browser to reject cookies, store them only for one session or delete them prematurely. Most browsers are preset to accept cookies.

Contact forms

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

5. Data disclosure and data transfer abroad

Within the scope of our business activities and the purposes set out in section 3, we also disclose data to third parties, insofar as this is permitted and we deem it appropriate, either because they process it on our behalf or because they wish to use it for their own purposes. This applies in particular to the following parties:

  • Our service providers, including contract processors (such as IT providers);
  • Dealers, suppliers and other business partners;
  • Customers;
  • Domestic and foreign authorities, government agencies or courts;
  • Media;
  • The public, including visitors to websites and social media;

Some of these recipients are located in the United Kingdom, but others may be located abroad.

6. Duration of storage of personal data

We process and store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise for the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for example for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation, execution to the termination of a contract) and beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. It is possible that personal data may be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted against our company and insofar as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or legitimate business interests require this (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes).

7. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access and misuse.

8. 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 the associated contractual obligations (you are not generally under any legal obligation to provide us with data). Without this data, we will generally not be able to conclude or execute a contract with you (or the entity or person you represent). The website cannot be used either if certain information required to secure data traffic (such as your IP address) is not disclosed.

9. Rights of the data subject

Within the scope of the data protection law applicable to you and to the extent provided for therein (as in the case of the GDPR), you have the right to information, correction, deletion, the right to restrict data processing and to object to our data processing, as well as to the disclosure of certain personal data for the purpose of transfer to another location (so-called data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert the restrictions provided for by law, for example if we are obliged to store or process certain data, have an overriding interest in doing so (insofar as we are permitted to invoke this) or need it to assert claims.

10. Amendments

We may amend this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. If the privacy policy is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of any changes by email or other appropriate means in the event of an update.
