Collection and Processing of Personal Data

At REBELS WITH A CAUSE, we primarily process personal data that we obtain from our clients and other business partners as well as other individuals in the context of our business relationships with them or that we collect from their users when operating our websites, apps, and other applications.

Insofar as it is permitted to us, we obtain certain personal data from publicly accessible sources (e.g., debt registers, land registries, commercial registers, press, the Internet) or we may receive such information from authorities or other third parties. In addition to the data you provide directly to us, the categories of data we receive about you from third parties include, but are not limited to, information from public registers, information that we learn about you in connection with administrative or court proceedings, information in connection with your professional role and activities (e.g., in order to conclude and carry out contracts with your employer), information about you in correspondence and discussions with third parties, information about you given to us by individuals associated with you (family, consultants, legal representatives, etc.) in order to conclude or process contracts with you or with your involvement (e.g. references, your address for deliveries, powers of attorney, information regarding compliance with legal requirements such as combating money laundering and export restrictions), information from banks, insurance companies, our distributors and other contractual partners of ours on the use or provision of services by you (e.g., payments made), information about you found in the media or the Internet (insofar as indicated in the specific case, e.g. in connection with job applications, media reviews, marketing/sales, etc.).

Purposes of Data Processing and Legal Grounds

We primarily use collected data in order to conclude and process our contracts with our clients and business partners, in particular in connection with our services to our clients, as well as in order to comply with our domestic and foreign legal obligations. You may of course also be affected by our data processing in your capacity as an employee of such a client or business partner.

In addition, we process your personal data and personal data of third parties, to the extent permitted and deemed appropriate by us, also for the following purposes, which are in our (or, as the case may be, any third parties') legitimate interest, such as:

  • Advertising and marketing (including organizing events), provided that you have not objected to the use of your data for this purpose (if you are part of our customer base and you receive advertising from us, you may object to this at any time, and we will then put you on a blacklist against further advertising mailings);

  • Asserting legal claims and defense in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;

  • Prevention and investigation of criminal offenses and other misconduct (e.g. conducting internal investigations, data analysis to combat fraud);

  • Ensuring our operations, including our IT, our websites, apps, and other platforms.

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (for example when registering to receive newsletters or carrying out a background check), we will process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis, and provided that we require one. Consent given can be withdrawn at any time, but this does not affect data processed prior to withdrawal.

Your Rights

In accordance with the data protection law applicable to you and to the extent provided for therein, you have the right to access, correction, and erasure of your personal data, the right to restrict or to object to our data processing and the right to receive certain personal data for the purpose of transfer to another controller (data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce statutory restrictions on our part, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have an overriding interest (insofar as we may invoke such interests) or need the data for asserting claims. We have already informed you of the possibility of withdrawing your consent above. Please note that the exercise of these rights may conflict with your contractual obligations and this may result in consequences such as premature termination of the contract.

In general, exercising these rights requires that you are able to prove your identity (e.g., by a copy of your identification documents, where your identity is otherwise not evident or cannot be verified in another way). To assert these rights, please contact us at hello@rebelswithacause.io. In addition, every data subject has the right to enforce his/her rights in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).
