4. Special information regarding data processing on our website
Data categories; data sources
In principle, we process the personal data that is transmitted by you in connection with the use of our website or that you provide to us in the context of an inquiry, a pre-contractual legal relationship or a contractual relationship. In individual cases and insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, we also process personal data that has been taken from publicly accessible sources (e.g. commercial registers, debtor directories, Internet) in a permissible manner or that has been legitimately transmitted to us by third parties (e.g. credit agencies).
This may include technical data relating to you (IP address, browser type), personal data (name, date of birth, legally authorized representatives), address data (address, e-mail address, contact person), financial data (name of account holder, IBAN, BIC), contract data (contract term, services purchased, cancellations), communication data (correspondence, e-mail correspondence), advertising data (advertising letters) and other comparable categories of personal data.
Processing of personal data after consent
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (e.g. when registering to receive newsletters), we will process your personal data within the scope of and on the basis of this consent, unless we have another legal basis, if we require one. Consent that has been given can be withdrawn at any time, but this does not affect the data processed prior to the withdrawal.
Cross-border data transmission
If personal data is transferred to a third country, we comply with the data protection regulations in that the data transfer is based on standard contractual clauses or we obtain your consent to this.
Data is transferred, for example, in particular in connection with the use of Google services. Due to the use of these services, data is transferred to the United States of America. Data will only be transmitted if you give us your consent.
The specific details of the recipient, the personal data transferred and the purpose of the data transfer can be found in the information on the respective processing below.
There is a risk to your personal data due to the data transfer. In the United States of America, there is no level of data protection comparable to EU law (GDPR) and / or national regulations (e.g. DSG) or sufficient guarantees to ensure an adequate level of data protection. Any deficits cannot be compensated for by other specific guarantees due to the US legal situation. Nevertheless, depending on the service, standard contractual clauses are sometimes used in order to achieve the greatest possible protection for your data. You can find out whether standard contractual clauses are used in the information on the respective services.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation has no influence on the lawfulness of the processing up to the time of revocation.
Contacting us
If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, we will process the personal data you provide in order to respond to your inquiry. Exceptionally, however, if there is no contractual relationship, whereby the legitimate interest lies in the proper response to your request. We delete the data after the final processing of your request, unless there is a contractual or legal obligation to retain it.
Contact form
If you send us an inquiry via our contact form, we will process the data you provide on the basis of your consent in order to process your inquiry. In principle, your data will be deleted after your inquiry has been processed, unless there is a contractual or legal obligation to retain it. If you provide us with contractually relevant information, we will transfer this to our inventory system.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future using any of the contact details provided.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies.
We rely on your consent to the collection of data in the context of the use of cookies. If you do not consent to the use of data when you first visit our website, we will not collect your usage behavior and other personal data that may be collected during your website visit and will therefore not use it for usage analysis and remarketing campaigns afterwards. This also applies to third-party cookies such as this Google Analytics plugin.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and stored there. Information about the use of this website and your IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and also stored on this server. Data transmission is permitted on the basis of your consent. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data unless you have configured the web and app activity settings in the settings of a Google account to allow Google to merge them.

5. Special information regarding data processing on our website
Employment relationship
We process your personal data primarily for the proper execution of an order or employment relationship and to comply with legal obligations. As well as in the context of an application for the purpose of initiating an employment relationship.
Sensitive data
Insofar as we process sensitive data from you, this is always done on the basis of your consent. In
some cases, processing is necessary in order for us or you to exercise the rights arising from employment law and social security and social protection law or to comply with the resulting obligations.
Consent
If you give us your express consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (e.g. publication of your photograph), the respective processing is lawful. Consent is voluntary and can be revoked at any time with effect for the future; refusal to grant consent is not associated with any disadvantages for the employment relationship. You can withdraw your consent at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future (see section 12 below).
Performance and initiation of contracts
We process your personal data as part of the initiation of a contractual relationship with you in order to respond to your inquiries, to process your orders and to provide access to certain information about our offers. Furthermore, the processing of your personal data is necessary in order to properly provide and invoice our services. Insofar as the processing of your personal data is necessary for the initiation or execution of a contractual relationship with us or as part of the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the processing is lawful.
Legal obligation
In some cases, we are subject to legal obligations that require us to process your personal data. If we process your data on the basis of such an obligation, we do so lawfully.
Legitimate interest
We also process your personal data insofar as this is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties and does not constitute an unjustified interference with your rights and interests. Legitimate interests on the basis of which we process your data are in particular
For employees
- the organization and optimization of projects and workflows,
- increasing efficiency in the areas of IT security/management, accounting, customer service or financial planning,
- the dutiful fulfillment of obligations to third parties,
- increasing the attractiveness of our company (e.g. by naming a contact person),
- Preventive random checks and repressive prosecution of possible violations of legal obligations and / or internal guidelines,
- the prevention and investigation of criminal offenses,
- the collection of receivables,
- the assertion of and defense against legal claims,
- the effective implementation of the deletion of your data,
- the organization of events.
With clients
- the improvement of our services and services
- the creation of customized offers and products
- Marketing communication
- the prevention of credit risks
- the prevention and investigation of criminal offenses
- debt collection
- the assertion of and defense against legal claims
- the effective implementation of the deletion of your data
- compliance with legal regulations
For applicants:
If you send us photographs or other information that is not required for the application process, this data will be stored. The sole purpose of the processing is to properly record your application and to be able to process it without distortion.
6. Origin of the personal data
As a rule, we collect this data directly from you or we use publicly accessible information from public sources (such as company websites). In some cases, we collect data via third parties.
7. Storage duration and deletion periods
We only process your data for as long as this is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of clients and candidates, this generally amounts to the duration of our business relationship. In particular, this also includes the initiation and execution of contracts.
As a rule, we store our employees’ data for as long as is necessary for the performance of the employment relationship; in principle, this is initially the entire duration of your employment with us.
For the purpose of exercising and processing reciprocal claims arising from the employment relationship, data may be stored either until the expiry of a contractually agreed expiry clause or until the statute of limitations has expired (generally three years starting from the end of the year in which the claim arose and the respective claim became known). The earlier point in time is always decisive.
We are also subject to various statutory retention and documentation obligations. These can range from two to ten years.
Finally, we store your data for a short period of time to ensure effective data erasure. Our systems process a large amount of data every day. Unfortunately, it is not possible to reliably delete individual data on a daily basis. Therefore, data is deleted on a regular basis as part of a special deletion concept, taking into account the above-mentioned time limits. This may result in your data being stored by us for a short time beyond the above-mentioned periods. This storage is based on our legitimate interest in the effective and efficient deletion of data.
In the event of a successful application and subsequent employment in our company, your data required for the implementation and organization of the employment relationship will be stored for the duration of the employment relationship.
8. Data transfer and recipients of your personal data
We only pass on your personal data within our company to those areas and persons who need this data to fulfill contractual and legal obligations or to protect our legitimate interests. In some cases, your personal data may also be processed by service providers employed by us. In these cases, data is usually transferred by us on the basis of order processing contracts. In this way, we ensure that the processing of personal data by our service providers is always carried out in accordance with the statutory provisions. The categories of recipients in this case are tax consultants, lawyers, IT service providers, operators of social media channels, external company doctors, auditors, banking institutions and providers of customer management systems and software as well as other recipients to whom the transfer is directly necessary for the establishment or fulfillment of the contract.
Otherwise, your data will only be transferred to other recipients outside our company if this is permitted or required by law, if the transfer is necessary for the performance or execution of the contract or, at your request, for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, if we have your consent or if we are authorized to provide information. Under these conditions, we may transfer your data to the following recipients in particular:
- Bexio AG, Alte Jonastrasse 24, 8640 Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland
- Clockodo GmbH, Viktoriastrasse 25 A, 59425 Unna, Germany

- Alpinum Accounting AG, Othmarstrasse 8, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland
- Public bodies and institutions (e.g. public prosecutor’s office, police, supervisory authorities, tax office) if there is a legal or official obligation.
9. Transfer to third countries
If a recipient is located in a country without adequate legal data protection, we require the recipient to comply with data protection (we use the revised standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which you can access here: eur-lex.europa.eu), unless the recipient is subject to a legally recognized set of rules to ensure data protection and we cannot invoke an exception. An exception may apply, for example, in the case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases where there is an overriding public interest or the fulfillment of a contract requires the disclosure, if you have consented or if the data has been made available by you in general and you have not objected to the processing.
The recipients of the data provided by you are the following companies / freelancers:
- Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA
- Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (registered office of the parent company in the USA)
- LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (registered office of the parent company in the USA)
- Hubspot International Limited, 1 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2 (registered office of the parent company in the USA)

10. Cross-border data processing due to the use of social media / website
If your data is processed via the social media presence of Peak Compliance AG, this data may be transferred to a third country. This transfer takes place on the basis of the consent you have given and, in some cases, on the basis of standard contractual clauses. If data is transferred to a third country on the basis of consent without an adequacy decision or other suitable guarantees, the associated increased risk of data processing in the context of the transfer must be pointed out. However, we would like to assure you that potential risks are successfully minimized thanks to careful selection and constant review of the standards of our contractual partners.
The categories of recipients in these cases are operators of social media platforms such as
- Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
- Meta Platform Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA
- LinkedIn Inc, 1000 W Maude, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA
11. Your rights as a data subject
In accordance with applicable law, you have the right to access, rectify and erase your personal data, the right to restrict processing or to object to our data processing, in particular for the purposes of direct marketing, profiling for the purposes of direct marketing and other legitimate interests in processing, as well as the right to receive certain personal data for transmission to another controller (data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert legal restrictions on our part, e.g. if we are obliged to store or process certain data, have an overriding interest (insofar as we can invoke such interests) or need the data to assert claims. Please note that a revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before your revocation is not affected by your revocation and remains lawful. Please note that we are legally obliged to retain and document certain data despite your revocation.
12. Right to object
You have the option to withdraw your consent at any time. We will then no longer process this personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. These must outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing must serve the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
To exercise your above-mentioned rights, please send a letter in text form to the above address or by e-mail to info@peakcompliance.ch.
13. Right of appeal
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data supervisory authority.
The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is:
The Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner
Feldeggweg 1
CH – 3003 Bern
Telephone: +41 (0)58 462 43 95
Fax: +41 (0)58 465 99 96
Further information is also available at the following link: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/de/home.html
14. Necessity of the provision of personal data
The provision of personal data for the establishment, execution or fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures is generally not required by law or contract. You are therefore not obliged to provide personal data. However, please note that this is generally necessary for the decision to conclude a contract, the fulfillment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
If you do not provide us with any personal data, we may not be able to make a decision within the scope of contractual measures. We recommend that you only ever provide personal data that is required for the conclusion of the contract, the fulfillment of the contract or pre-contractual measures.
15. Automated decision making
As a matter of principle, we do not use any processes that involve fully automated decision-making. If we do use such procedures in individual cases, we will inform you of this separately and obtain your consent if this is required by law.
16. Social media
We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to communicate with interested parties and provide information about our services. Personal data may also be processed outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA).
The General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and terms of use as well as data protection declarations and other provisions of the individual operators of such online platforms also apply. These provisions provide information in particular about the rights of data subjects, including, for example, the right to information.
We are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Ireland) for our social media presence on Facebook, including the so-called Page Insights, if and to the extent that the GDPR is applicable. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is part of the Meta companies (including in the USA). Page Insights provide information about how visitors interact with our Facebook presence. We use Page Insights to provide our social media presence on Facebook in an effective and user-friendly way.
Further information on the type, scope and purpose of data processing, information on the rights of data subjects and the contact details of Facebook and Facebook’s data protection officer can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy. We have concluded the so-called “Controller Addendum” with Facebook and have thus agreed in particular that Facebook is responsible for guaranteeing the rights of data subjects. For the so-called Page Insights, the corresponding information can be found on the page “Information on Page Insights” including “Information on Page Insights data”.

We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent this within the system. Nevertheless, the confidentiality of data cannot be guaranteed when transmitting any data by e-mail. This note applies in particular to the transmission of particularly sensitive personal data; please do not send us this data by e-mail, but contact us in advance to arrange a secure channel. External access devices (PC, smartphone, etc. of end users) and parts of the infrastructure involved in the transmission between the sender and recipient are outside the area under our control.
