We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high priority for the management of Empira AG. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in compliance with other country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Empira AG. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights through this privacy policy. We recommend that you regularly consult the legal notices and privacy policy on our online platform, as we are constantly striving to keep these provisions up to date.

We process the personal data that arises in connection with the use of our online platform or that you provide yourself (e.g., when subscribing to a newsletter or submitting an application).

Empira AG, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may inherently have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by post.

The privacy policy of Empira AG is based on the terminology used by the European legislator in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other data protection provisions is:

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator’s contact details in the section “2. Name and Address of the Controller.”

Your data is collected in part by you providing it to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter into a newsletter registration form or when you send us an application.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website through our IT systems. This primarily includes technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

A) General Information on the Use of Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. Cookies are small database entries that are stored on your device and saved by your browser. They serve to make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure. We use both so-called temporary cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser (“session cookies”), as well as persistent (permanent) cookies.

You have the choice of whether to allow cookies to be set. You can make changes at any time in your browser settings. You generally have the option to accept all cookies, be informed when cookies are set, or reject all cookies. If you choose the last option, it is possible that you may not be able to use our services in full. Individual settings can be made in the cookie settings (Cookie Settings).[GB1] [NN2] [GB3]

When using cookies, a distinction must be made between strictly necessary cookies and those used for further purposes (measurement of access numbers, advertising purposes).

B) Strictly Necessary Cookies When Using the Website

We use session cookies on our websites that are strictly necessary for the use of our websites. This includes cookies that enable us to recognize you while you visit the site during a single session. These session cookies contribute to the secure use of our services.

C) Use of Cookies with Your Consent

Below you will find an overview of the cookies that we use with your consent given at the beginning of your use of the website. Individual settings can be edited at any time in the cookie settings (Cookie Settings[GB4]). These are cookies for recording the usage behavior on our website.

Use of Cookies to Record Usage Behavior (Tracking):

The use of tracking cookies enables us to recognize users when they access our website again and thus assign usage processes to an internally assigned identifier (pseudonym). This allows us to record repeated access to our website and analyze it comprehensively.

Collection of General Data and Information:

The website of Empira AG collects a series of general data and information with each access to the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. This information is required to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Empira AG statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

D) Cookie Consent with Usercentrics

Our website uses the cookie consent technology from Usercentrics to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your device and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich. When you enter our website, a connection is established to the Usercentrics servers to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding cookie use. Usercentrics then stores a cookie in your browser to assign you the consents granted or their revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you request deletion, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected. Usercentrics is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR.

We process and store your personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this is provided for by the European Directives and Regulations or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods).

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a retention period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website:

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract fulfillment or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Every data subject has the following rights:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure or a right to be “forgotten” (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Right to restriction of processing of personal data (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
• You may object to the processing of personal data for advertising purposes, including analysis of customer data for advertising purposes, at any time without giving reasons.
• In addition, the data subject also has a general right to object (cf. Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR). In this case, the objection to data processing must be justified. If data processing is based on consent, your consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

To exercise your data subject rights, the easiest way is to contact info@empira-invest.com. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Right to Revoke Data Protection Consent

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to revoke their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time without giving reasons for the future. For this, it is best to contact info@empira-invest.com.

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) EU/GDPR or Art. 6 DSG (Switzerland) and, if you have given consent, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted in accordance with country-specific regulations after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion is not opposed by other legitimate interests or other legal bases (e.g., consent of the data subject).

Applications are processed centrally within the Empira Group (Empira Asset Management, Leipzig) and forwarded to our service provider Personio. The forwarding is carried out in the interest of secure, fast, and efficient processing of your application. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the service providers. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures that they process the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the data protection requirements of the DSG and the GDPR.

Unless a more specific retention period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke 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 retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply.

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contracting party). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us.

The current privacy policy can be accessed and printed here by you.
