If you visit our Service, our processing of your Personal Information is based on your consent that you give us when you accept the disclaimer notice displayed before you can access our Service.

In certain cases, the processing of your Personal Information might be based on our legitimate interests (e.g. to protect the security and integrity of our Service) or those of any third party recipients that receive your Personal Information, the necessity to perform our contractual obligations towards you or to take pre-contractual steps at your request, or a legal obligation to which we are subject.

Recipients of the data

Only the persons mentioned below may have access to your data:
  • persons in the various commercial, administrative and IT departments of RealAvisor SA, responsible for the running of the SITE and the various services it offers;
  • persons responsible for the various controls carried out (both external and internal to RealAvisor SA);
  • any subcontractors, provided that the contract signed with the subcontractors and RealAvisor SA mentions the obligations incumbent upon them in terms of data protection and security, while specifying the security requirements.
  • banking and commercial partners, as well as any advertisers working with RealAvisor SA when you have expressly consented to RealAvisor SA transmitting your data to these third parties, notably to receive from them proposals directly related to your real estate project. Apart from this hypothesis, your data is not communicated, exchanged, sold or rented to any other person.

Storage Duration

We will not keep your Personal Information for any longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected or provided, keeping in mind the following factors:
  • persons in the various commercial, administrative and IT departments of RealAvisor SA, responsible for the running of the SITE and the various services it offers;

Your Rights

You are entitled to submit us a request in order to:
  • have access to your Personal Information and obtain information in relation to its processing (i.e. purposes of the processing, categories of Personal Information concerned, recipients to whom Personal Information have been or will be disclosed, etc.);
  • request the completion or correction of any Personal Information that is incomplete or inaccurate;
  • restrict or object to the processing of your Personal Information;
  • erase your Personal Information;
  • receive, or request us to transmit to another designated person or entity, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format; and

Your objection (or withdrawal of any previously given consent) could mean that we are unable to perform the actions necessary to achieve the purposes set out above and/or that you may not be able to make use of our Service.

Please note that the above rights can be limited – for example, where we need your Personal Information to comply with the law or assert or defend against legal claims or have other compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms. We may therefore be able to continue processing your Personal Information even after you have chosen to withdraw your consent or objected to the processing of your Personal Information to the extent required or otherwise permitted by law.

To exercise any of the abovementioned rights, please contact us at the contact details below.

If requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we reserve our right to either charge a reasonable fee taking into account the request or refuse to act on the request.

We may request the provision of additional information to confirm your identity if we have reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the person making the request.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to maintain reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure an adequate level of protection for your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If, despite our security measures, a security breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk for your Personal Information, we will inform you, as well as relevant authorities when required by applicable data protection laws, about the security breach as soon as reasonably possible.

Service Providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. We concluded written agreements with all our contractual partners that may have access to your Personal Information imposing data protection obligations that are no less protective than our commitments described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

International Transfer

We are a Swiss company. If you are located outside Switzerland and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the information, including Personal Information, to Switzerland and process it there. Swiss data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

Should we need to transfer your Personal Information to a country that is not regarded as ensuring an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission and/or the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, we will put in place appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable legal requirements to ensure that your Personal Information is adequately protected.

Business Transaction

You must ensure that the individual concerned is aware of the various matters detailed in this Privacy Policy, in particular our identity, how to contact us and our purposes of processing.
