Handeys GmbH receives this data directly from the customer or from intermediaries.

Data from third parties (e.g. intermediaries, the Central Office for Credit Information (ZEK) and the Information Office for Consumer Credit (IKO), authorities, credit agencies (for customers from Germany with foreigner's identity card B, L or G also from the Protection Association for General Credit Security (Schufa)), employers or from public, generally accessible sources, such as databases or registers (e.g. local.ch or the Commercial Register).

These usage data form the basis for statistical, anonymous evaluations, so that trends can be recognized, on the basis of which we can improve our offers accordingly.

Data processing for credit, leasing and loan agreements

The data collected is processed for the purpose of processing the agreements, in order to provide the service and support the customer. In the event of late payment, the customer data is processed as part of the dunning process, for example Handeys GmbH can initiate additional clarifications and contact the customer. Additional clarifications can include the obtaining of information from or the information to certain places (e.g. intermediary, ZEK, IKO).

Customer data is also processed within the scope of their obligations to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism, in particular to identify the customer or to determine the beneficial owners of the assets. As part of transaction monitoring, data is processed if, for example, a credit/leasing/loan is terminated prematurely.

For this purpose, individual risk profiles are drawn up, which serve, among other things, to assess the creditworthiness and credit capability. The authorization of data processing for risk purposes cannot be revoked, since Handeys GmbH is dependent on calculating and limiting its financial risk. A waiver of these data processing is only possible by termination of the business relationship.

Handeys GmbH receives from the borrowers and/or applicants for credit, leasing and/or loan within the framework of credit, leasing and/or loan applications and contracts and from other sources (e.g. intermediaries such as credit and loan brokers, vehicle dealers, partner banks, further education institutes, credit agencies, Central Office for Credit Information (ZEK), authorities, employers, companies of the Aduno Group, Information Office for Consumer Credit (IKO) etc.) various information which it processes for the provision of its services. In particular, this includes information such as current address, solvency or any paternalism.

Data processing by third parties

Handeys GmbH cooperates with third parties at home and abroad to provide its services (e.g. for IT support). These third parties are contractually obliged to process the data transmitted to them exclusively in the interest and for the purpose of Handeys GmbH. They are subject to the same obligations in connection with data protection and data security as Handeys GmbH itself and undertake to keep the data secret.

During electronic communication and the transmission of data, data can under certain circumstances be transmitted via third countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as Switzerland. We would therefore like to point out that data transmitted abroad may not enjoy an equivalent level of protection as under Swiss law and that access to such data by public authorities cannot be ruled out.

Transfer of data

Handeys GmbH does not provide third parties with data for their own purposes. Exceptions to this principle require the consent of the customers. Such consent exists, for example, for the transfer of data to intermediaries (in accordance with AGB / ALB). Within the scope of its regulatory or legal obligations, creditworthiness information (details of the application, its acceptance or rejection, conclusion and end of contract, type of obligation, solvency, payment arrears, etc.) is made known to the Central Office for Credit Information (ZEK) or the Information Office for Consumer Credit (IKO).

By order of the authorities or based on legal obligations, customer data will also be disclosed to governmental agencies such as law enforcement or supervisory authorities.

Deletion of personal data

The processing, transfer and deletion of your personal data is carried out in accordance with and in compliance with the legal provisions on data protection. Handeys GmbH is entitled to pass on your personal data to its own employees, agents and affiliated companies within and outside of Switzerland in order to operate, improve and personalize the products and services of Handeys GmbH. Handeys GmbH is furthermore entitled or obliged to pass on your personal data to CRIF AG and the IKO (Information Office for Consumer Credit). Handeys GmbH stores your personal data only for as long as it is necessary in view of the processing purposes or until the statutory or contractual retention period for your personal data has expired.

Contact

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, e-mail, telephone or social media), the user's data is processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and its processing. The user's details may be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or comparable inquiry organization in order to process possible follow-up enquiries more efficiently.

Communication and advertising

Handeys GmbH may send information and advertising to customers by mail or electronically (by e-mail, by push message, by SMS or in any other suitable way). This electronic communication with the customer takes place via the public communication networks. Data transmitted in this way is generally visible to third parties, can be lost during transmission or can be intercepted by unauthorized third parties. It cannot therefore be ruled out that third parties may gain access to communication with the customer despite all security measures taken. Since e-mail is an open communication, it is generally not suitable for transmitting personal information.

Contact by e-mail will only be made if consent has been given, for example if Handeys GmbH has received the e-mail address from the sender when the latter contacts Handeys GmbH, as is the case with the information in the credit, leasing and/or loan application, when entering into an (electronic) application or inquiry form or when participating in competitions.

We will delete the requests if they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years; Furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations apply.

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's Data Use Policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads, in the Facebook Data Usage Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
