3. General Principles
3.1 What Data Do We Collect from You and Where Do We Receive It?

We primarily process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect while operating our website. In some cases, we may also receive personal data about you from third parties. These may include the following categories:

  • Personal details (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
  • Contact information (mobile number, email address, etc.);
  • Financial data (e.g., bank account details);
  • Online identifiers (e.g., cookie identifiers, IP addresses);
  • Location and traffic data;
  • Audio and visual recordings;
  • Sensitive data (e.g., biometric data or health-related information).

3.2 Under What Conditions Do We Process Your Data?

We handle your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. We strive for transparent and proportionate data processing.

If, in exceptional cases, we are unable to follow these principles, the data processing may still be lawful if there is a legal justification, such as:

  • Your consent;
  • The execution of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
  • Our legitimate interests, provided they do not override your interests.

3.3 How Can You Withdraw Your Consent?

If you have granted us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent unless we have another justification.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address provided in the legal notice. However, data processing already carried out will not be affected by the withdrawal.


3.4 In What Cases Can We Share Your Data with Third Parties?
a. General Principles

We may rely on third parties or affiliated companies to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients include:

  • Accounting, fiduciary, and auditing firms;
  • Consulting firms (legal, tax, etc.);
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, web design, etc.);
  • Payment service providers;
  • Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services.

We ensure that these third parties and affiliates comply with data protection requirements and handle your personal data confidentially.

In certain cases, we may also be legally obligated to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Visiting Our Social Media Channels

Our website may include links to our social media channels, identifiable by corresponding icons. Clicking on these icons will redirect you to our social media platforms.

The social media providers may know that you are accessing their platform from our website. These providers may use the collected data for their purposes. Please note that we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by the platform operators.

c. Transfers Abroad

In some cases, the processing of your personal data may involve transfers to companies abroad. These companies are required to protect your data to the same extent as we do. Data transfers may occur worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not match that of Switzerland, we conduct a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure equivalent protection (e.g., using the EU Commission’s new Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally required measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we implement additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses at the following link:

3.5 How Long Do We Retain Your Data?

We store personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected.

Data collected during your visit to our website is stored for 12 months. Exceptions apply to analysis and tracking data, which may be retained longer.

We retain contractual data longer due to legal obligations. Specifically, we must store business communications, contracts, and booking records for up to 10 years. Once we no longer need such data to provide our services, it will be locked and used only for accounting or tax purposes.


3.6 How Do We Protect Your Data?

We store your data securely and take all reasonable measures to protect it from loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.

Our contractual partners and employees with access to your data are obligated to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, we may need to forward your inquiries to affiliated companies. In such cases, your data will also be treated confidentially.

On our website, we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.


3.7 What Are Your Rights?
a. Right to Information

You can request information about the data we store about you at any time. Please send your request, along with proof of identity, to info@power-air.ch.

You also have the right to receive your data in a standard file format if we process your data automatically and if:

  • You have given consent for the processing of this data; or
  • You provided data in connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract.

We may restrict or deny access to data if it conflicts with legal obligations, legitimate interests, or third-party interests.

b. Deletion and Correction

You can request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. Requests may be denied if legal obligations require us to retain or keep the data unchanged.

c. Legal Recourse

If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch.


3.8 Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may amend this privacy policy at any time. Changes will be published on https://powerairfreight.ch/, and you will not be notified separately.
