1. Data protection

The Edith Maryon Foundation, Gerbergasse 30, CH-4001 Basel, takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy. Visiting or using our website, which you can access at https://maryon.ch/, is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or email address) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis, wherever possible. This data will not be shared with third parties without your express consent. We would like to point out that data transmission via the internet (for example, when communicating by email) can be subject to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

2. Collection of personal data

As a matter of principle, we only collect personal data if it is necessary to provide a specific service or to prepare a contract.

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. We only store access data that does not contain any personal references, such as the name of your Internet service provider, the page from which you are visiting us or the name of the requested file. This data is only used to improve our services and does not reveal any personal information about you.

Personal data indicating the identity of project participants, tenants, leaseholders, etc., such as name, address, postal address, delivery address, telephone number or email address, are only collected on our websites if you voluntarily provide them when contacting us or registering for our newsletter.

The recipient’s data will only be used to send a newsletter or mailings with prior permission of the respective recipient. This consent can be revoked at any time without giving reasons, with immediate effect.

3. Data processing via email and contact form

In accordance with legal requirements, we provide information on our website that permits quick and direct electronic contact with us. This includes both our email address and our contact form. If you contact us by email or via our contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. Any other personal data processed during contact is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

We use the personal data you provide exclusively for the processing of your specific enquiry. The data provided will always be treated confidentially. Your details may be stored in a customer relationship management system (so-called CRM system) or another organisational tool for customer data.

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation ends when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been definitively resolved.

If you contact us, you can revoke permission to store your personal data at any time. Should you do so, the conversation cannot be continued.

5. Transfer of personal data to third parties

Your data will not be shared with third parties unless we are legally obligated to do so (for example, in response to a request from an investigating authority) or entitled to do so (for example, in the context of order data processing), or you have expressly consented to the disclosure of your data to third parties. In particular, data will be shared with third parties if it is necessary for the fulfilment and processing of a contract. These third parties are, of course, also obliged to protect your data and use it only for the precisely specified purpose. Furthermore, they are obliged to treat the data in accordance with this data protection declaration and the applicable legal requirements.

6. Transfer of personal data abroad

We may also transfer your personal data to third-party companies (commissioned service providers) abroad, provided this is for the purpose of the data processing described in this privacy policy. These companies are required, to the same extent as we are, to protect your personal data. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data is equivalent to that in Switzerland at all times.

7. Right to information, deletion, or blocking of data

You have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time by using the contact form.

8. Data security

We use numerous technical and organisational measures to secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons. However, despite regular checks, we cannot and do not guarantee complete protection against all risks. For this reason, you are free at all times to transmit your personal data to us by other means, for example by telephone or post.
