DATA PROTECTION
Flowers & Design GmbH processes personal data (data that directly or indirectly identifies natural persons) which we receive from you or involved third parties in the course of the contractual relationship, or which we collect ourselves. The controller responsible for the processing of personal data described in this privacy policy is Karin Mani, +41 78 614 94 28, info@karinmani.ch.
Some personal data is provided to us directly by you or the data subjects when you/they contact us by email or telephone and request our services. This includes, for example, names and contact details, as well as information about the role of the data subject within the company or organisation for which you or the respective contact persons work, or in whose name you or they contact us. In addition, in the context of preparing or negotiating contracts, we obtain personal data from you and/or third parties. With regard to our services in the wedding and event sector, this primarily concerns information about hosts, guests and event venues. We also process other personal data that we receive in our correspondence with third parties (in particular clients, witnesses, persons responsible for venues and their employees, or other contact persons) within the scope of the contractual relationship (e.g. name, contact details, date of birth, information on employment relationships, family circumstances or health status). Furthermore, we collect certain personal data ourselves, e.g. from public registers or from websites.
We process the above-mentioned types of personal data primarily in order to provide, document and invoice our contractual services.
To achieve the purposes described in this privacy policy, it may be necessary to disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients (non-exhaustive): persons responsible for venues (e.g. caretaker/venue manager), witnesses, and catering companies.
We process personal data within our area of responsibility in Switzerland and in the EU and the EEA. The transfer of personal data to recipients who process personal data in countries that do not ensure a level of data protection comparable to Switzerland is not intended. Should such a case occur, we will only transfer data with your consent or if this is essential for contract performance or for the enforcement of legal claims.
We store personal data only for as long as necessary to handle a contractual relationship, as long as statutory retention and documentation obligations apply, or as long as we have an overriding private or public interest in doing so. We take proportionate and reasonable measures to protect personal data from loss, unauthorised alteration or unauthorised access by third parties. If you provide us with personal data about third parties (e.g. your employees or other contact persons), it is your responsibility to inform them in a general manner about processing by legal service providers (such as us) or other external service providers (e.g. in an employee privacy policy).
We hereby inform you that, in the course of contract processing, we rely on external IT service providers and cloud providers with servers located in Switzerland. We also use certain IT services and means of communication that may involve data security risks (e.g. email, video conferences). It is your responsibility to inform us if you require special security measures.
