Data Protection Statement of the Swissroc Group of Companies.
What is this Data Protection Statement about
The Swissroc Group (hereinafter also referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”) collects and processes personal data relating to you and to other individuals (“third parties”). We use the term “data” interchangeably with “personal data.”
The “Swissroc Group” refers to Swissroc Capital Holding SA and its subsidiaries and group companies. A list of these subsidiaries and group companies is available here.
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, i.e., a person whose identity can be determined from the data itself or in combination with additional data. Section 3 contains information about the data we process under this Data Protection Statement. The term “processing” means any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, storage, use, modification, disclosure, and deletion.
In this Data Protection Statement, we describe how we process your data when you use https://swissroc.ch, www.swissroc.com or https://www.swissroc-properties.com, our other websites, webpages or applications (collectively, the “Website”), when you are in contact with us in connection with a contract, or when you otherwise communicate or interact with us. Where necessary, we will inform you separately about processing activities not covered by this Data Protection Statement.
If you provide us with data about other persons, we assume that you are authorized to do so and that such data is accurate. By sharing data about others with us, you confirm this. Please ensure that such persons have been informed about this Data Protection Statement.
This Data Protection Statement is aligned with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”), and the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“revFADP”). However, the specific applicability of these laws depends on the individual case.
2. Who is responsible for processing your data?
Swissroc Capital Holding SA, with its registered office in Geneva (“Swissroc”), is the data controller for the Swissroc Group under this Data Protection Statement, unless otherwise stated.
Unless otherwise indicated, this Data Protection Statement also applies where a Swissroc Group company acts as data controller instead of Swissroc Capital Holding SA. This is particularly the case where your data is processed by a Group company in connection with its own contracts or legal obligations, or when you share data directly with such Group company. In such cases, that Group company is the controller. If it shares your data with other Group companies for their own purposes (see Section 7), those other companies also become controllers.
Further information about third parties with whom we cooperate and who are responsible for their own processing can be found in Sections 3, 7 and 12. If you have questions or wish to exercise your rights in relation to these third parties, please contact them directly.

3. What data do we process?
We process various categories of data relating to you. The main categories are:
Technical Data
When you use our Website or other online services (e.g. free Wi-Fi), we collect the IP address of your device and other technical data to ensure functionality and security. This includes system usage logs.
Registration Data
Certain services (e.g. login areas, newsletters, free WLAN access) require a user account or registration. You must provide certain data, and we collect information about your use of the service. This includes account creation details (e.g. username, password, name, email address, phone number, search criteria, housing information, etc.).
We generally retain such data for 10 years after the last contractual activity or termination of the contract, unless a longer retention is required for evidentiary, legal, contractual, business or technical reasons.
Communication Data
When you contact us (via contact form, email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, mail or other means), we collect the exchanged data, including contact details and communication metadata. If we need to verify your identity, we collect identification data.
Master Data
Master data includes basic information necessary for managing contractual or business relationships or for marketing purposes, such as name, contact details, role, banking details, date of birth, customer history, interaction history, powers of attorney, property budget, owned or rented properties, identity document copy if necessary, and consent declarations.
We receive master data from you, from persons you work for, from contractual partners, associations, address brokers, and public sources (e.g. public registers, websites, social networks).
We generally retain master data for 10 years from our last interaction or contract termination, unless longer retention is required.
Contract Data
Contract data includes information about contract conclusion, execution and administration (e.g. contract type, duration, billing data, customer service interactions, complaints, customer satisfaction surveys, creditworthiness data, debt collection information).
We retain contract data generally for 10 years from the last contractual activity or termination, unless longer retention is required.
Behavioral and Preference Data
We analyze behavior and preferences to better tailor our services. This may include website navigation behavior, location data, purchasing behavior, household size, income bracket, and other sociodemographic information, potentially combined with third-party data.
Other Data
This includes data processed in administrative or legal proceedings, photos, videos, audio recordings (e.g. events, security cameras), access logs, visitor lists, and shareholder/investor data.
Most of the above data is provided directly by you. Some processing (e.g. technical data) is unavoidable when using the Website. Behavioral and preference data can generally be objected to.
We may also collect data from public sources or receive data from other Group companies, public authorities, credit agencies, contractual partners, or internet analytics services.

5. On what legal basis do we process your data?

Otherwise, processing is based on:
- The necessity to perform or initiate a contract
- Our legitimate interests (including marketing, business development, compliance, security)

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

8. Is your data transferred abroad?
Your data may be processed in Europe and, in exceptional cases, worldwide.
Internet data transmissions may pass through third countries even if sender and recipient are located in the same country.
9. How long do we process your data?
