Right to demand information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated.

Right to withdraw consent

If you have consented to data processing, you have the option to revoke this consent at any time, which shall affect all future data processing.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
  • If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases

You have the right to, any time, object to the processing of you personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. To determine the legal basis on which any processing of data is based, please consult our Data Protection Declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defense of legal entitlements.

Right to object to direct advertising

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising.

Advertising communication will always include an option for the recipient to unsubscribe. Moreover, you can unsubscribe at any time by contacting us.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfill a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the nLPD, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the courts or the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

5. Retention time

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies, or as long as necessary to fulfill our customers needs, or to comply with regulations.

If you assert a justified request for deletion or revocation of your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

6. Security

Drugdesigntech SA commits to protect your personal data against any unauthorized processing by implementing organizational processes following state-of-the-art standards.

We also take reasonable and appropriate measures in order to maintain the confidentiality of your data and to protect them from unauthorized disclosure.

Unless otherwise stated, personal data, their copies and backups are managed internally by Drugdesigntech SA and stored in Switzerland or the EU.

We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e. through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.

7. Data transfer

Drugdesigntech SA may communicate your personal data to its employees, contractors, providers only within the scope of our activities, and provided that legal conditions are respected.

Drugdesigntech SA may use reasonable security measures to check the identity of its customers and partners before granting them access to their personal data.

Information on data transfer to the USA

Our website uses, in particular, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal information may be transferred to the US servers of these companies. We must point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU or Swiss data protection law. US companies are required to release personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. The possibility cannot therefore be excluded that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes.  We have no influence over these processing activities.
