Personal Data Protection Declaration

Purpose

This Privacy Notice explains how we process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”) and, where applicable, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

Roles of emedSwiss

emedSwiss’s role depends on the processing activity concerned :

SaaS Services

When providing its SaaS services, emedSwiss processes personal data, including health data, on behalf of its clients, in particular healthcare professionals and healthcare institutions.

In this context:

  • the client is the data controller;
  • emedSwiss acts as a data processor;
  • emedSwiss processes personal data in accordance with the client’s instructions and the applicable contractual agreements.

The client determines, in particular, the purposes of the processing, the categories of data processed and the applicable retention periods.

emedSwiss’s Own Activities

emedSwiss acts as a data controller for its own activities, including:

  • managing relationships with clients, suppliers and partners;
  • contract management, invoicing and accounting;
  • handling enquiries and contact requests;
  • managing prospects and commercial communications;
  • operating and securing its website and systems;
  • complying with its legal obligations.

  • your position and organisation;
  • our correspondence with you;
  • contractual and invoicing information;
  • your IP address and certain technical connection data;

Service Providers and International Transfers

We may use service providers for purposes such as hosting, maintenance, security, communication and the administration of our services.

Where emedSwiss acts as a data processor, it engages sub-processors in accordance with the agreements entered into with its clients.

Personal data is primarily processed in Switzerland or within the European Economic Area. If data is transferred to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection, we implement the safeguards required by applicable law, including appropriate contractual clauses.

When acting as a data controller, we retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the stated purposes, perform our contracts and comply with our legal obligations.

Personal data processed through our SaaS services is retained, returned or deleted in accordance with the client’s instructions and the applicable contractual provisions.

The client remains responsible for determining the retention periods applicable to its patients’ data.

Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure and unauthorised access.

These measures include, in particular, access controls, encryption, backups, logging, security monitoring and staff awareness training.
