It will be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any web-based payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.
Regarding personal information we have processed as part of providing the Services to you, we will retain relevant personal information for at least six years from the date of our last interaction with you and in compliance with our obligations under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (or similar legislation around the world) or for longer where we are required to do so according to our regulatory obligations or professional indemnity obligations.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
The purpose of the Swiss Data Protection Act is to protect the privacy, interests and fundamental rights of data subjects. Furthermore, it has as its central goal the maintenance of good data file practice and the facilitation of international data exchange by providing a comparable level of protection. The SDPA is very wide in its scope and applies to personal data file activities carried out by Federal authorities, private organizations and individual private persons (excluding those for normal private purposes).
The SDPA regulates the cross-border transfer of data in cases requiring protection of privacy. Transfers may be prohibited if, for example, the recipient's country cannot provide an adequate level of data protection. Both private individuals and federal bodies that may be involved in cross-border data disclosure are subject to the duty of due care. The transfer of data files abroad has to be notified in the event of a lack of adequate protection. In the absence of such protection, data may only be disclosed abroad if other safeguards, in particular contractual clauses or rules for the same legal person are in place to guarantee protection. The FDPIC must be informed of such clauses and rules. Furthermore, the consent of the person concerned, the impending conclusion or performance of a contract to which the person concerned is party, or the protection of the data subject or any overriding public interests can justify the disclosure of personal data abroad (cf. Art. 6 DPA).
Following an Opinion of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (2006) regarding the responsibility of financial service providers, Swiss-based providers have to carry out specific due diligence when processing personal data. “When a payment transaction is effected via a financial institution, the payer and the payee must be known. If a financial service provider in Switzerland participates in a payment transaction, it may be assumed that this will involve the processing of personal data within the meaning of the Swiss Data Protection Act (Article 3, letters a and e of the DPA). Thus, the financial service provider is subject to the same duties the Data Protection Act applies to private individuals“ (DPA and the Ordinance relating to the Data Protection Act –VDSG).
Swiss Shakti Foundation takes reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We maintain physical, technical and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information. Such safeguards include the use of firewalls and data encryption, enforcing physical access controls to our buildings and files, and limiting access to personal information only to those employees, agents or third parties who need access to that information to process it for us. We contractually require all third-party service providers to maintain appropriate security measures to protect your personal information.
However, you are also responsible for keeping your personal information confidential and secure. Swiss Shakti Foundation cannot guarantee that your personal information will be 100% safe while using its Services. You should choose a password that is complex (e.g., special characters and numbers, sufficient length, etc.) and keep your password confidential. Do not leave your device unlocked so that other individuals may access your device or Shakticoin.com account. Swiss Shakti Foundation is not in control of your wireless connection or the devices you use to log into the Shakticoin.com Services, so you should make sure you trust the devices and connections you use to access the Services.
If you believe that you have experienced unauthorized access or use of your Shakticoin.com account, please contact us immediately at helpDESK@shakticoin.com.
