The definitions contained in the Terms of Use are incorporated into this Privacy Policy by reference. In addition:
The controller of the data file — that is, the person legally responsible for the purpose and content of the data file — is:
Yatzo SA, with its registered seat at Rue du Rhône 80–84, CH-1204 Geneva, Switzerland, which can be reached by email at info@yatzo.com.
For any question concerning the processing of your personal data, please use the contact details set out in Section 11 below.
3.1 We comply with the rules imposed by the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and its implementing Ordinance and, where applicable, with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means that we are transparent with you about the personal data we process.
3.2 We process the personal data that you provide to us by completing the contact form available on our Website, namely when you make:
3.3 When you authorise a third-party social network (e.g. Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, LinkedIn) to share personal data with Yatzo, we may receive the data that you publicly share on that network as part of your profile, or that you allow the network to share (name, email address, gender, profile picture, user ID, list of friends or contacts, etc.).
3.4 Yatzo also receives information relating to your profile when you use a social-network feature integrated into the Site or interact with Yatzo through the social network. You should at all times be aware of the terms of use and privacy policy applicable to the third-party social network, which are its sole responsibility and which will apply to that processing.
3.5 When you visit the Website, we and our analytics providers also automatically collect certain technical and usage data, such as your IP address, the approximate location derived from it, your browser type and settings, your device and operating system, the date and time of your visit, the pages you view and the site from which you arrived. Your IP address is, in addition, kept and disclosed in accordance with applicable legal requirements in the event of a request from the competent authorities.
3.6 If we no longer process your personal data and are no longer legally required to keep it, or if you no longer wish us to hold and process it, we will stop doing so.
3.7 You may at any time obtain information about the processing of your personal data or object to that processing. To find out how to proceed, please refer to Section 9 below.
3.8 If you plan to subscribe to the services offered by our partners, we invite you to consult their own general conditions and privacy policy before subscribing. If you wish to learn more about their data-processing practices, please consult their websites directly under the headings “Privacy Policy” and “General Conditions of Use”.
3.9 The commercial terms of any paid or subscription Services (such as price, duration, renewal, payment terms and usage limits) are not set out in this Privacy Policy but in the Additional Terms presented at the point of purchase. This Privacy Policy nonetheless applies to the processing of personal data carried out in connection with all Services, including paid ones.
4.1 We collect and process this data in order to continuously improve your browsing experience and our services and to adapt them to your needs. This data also helps us analyse traffic, build audience statistics about our ads and services, and provide you with relevant information. Your personal data may be processed for the following purposes:
4.2 Depending on the purpose, our processing is based, where the GDPR applies, on: the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR); our compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR); your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), for example for the newsletter or non-essential cookies; or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), such as responding to your enquiries, securing the Site and preventing fraud. The corresponding grounds under the Swiss FADP apply in parallel. Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
4.3 Your personal data may be disclosed to the following categories of recipients: (i) service providers acting on our behalf as processors (in particular hosting and infrastructure, IT maintenance and security, web analytics, email and newsletter distribution and, where relevant, payment service providers), who are bound by contract to process it only on our instructions; (ii) our partners, at your request, in order to respond to your enquiry or offer; and (iii) competent public authorities, where we are legally required to disclose it.
4.4 You agree that your personal data may be transmitted within Yatzo (for the proper functioning of the services) and, at your request, to its current partners, and processed for the purposes set out above.
4.5 If you request our newsletter, we use a double opt-in procedure: after you enter your email address you receive a confirmation email, and the newsletter is sent only once you confirm by clicking the link it contains. For this purpose we store your email address and, where provided, your first and last name, together with the time of registration and your language preference, so that we can address you correctly and send the newsletter in the appropriate language. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of each newsletter.
4.6 No further transmission, transfer or sale of your personal data to any third party outside Yatzo and its current partners is made.
5.1 A cookie is a piece of information that is placed on your device when you access certain sites (“Cookie”). A cookie uniquely identifies your browser to the server. Cookies allow Yatzo to store data (for example language preferences, technical information, or click/path information) to help improve your web experience and to conduct site analysis and performance review. Most browsers are set up to accept cookies, although you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Note, however, that some parts of the Site may not work properly if you refuse cookies.
5.2 Yatzo may also use a “web beacon” on the Site (also known as an “action tag” or “clear GIF”), or similar technology, which helps analyse the effectiveness of the Site by measuring, for example, the number of visitors, how many visitors clicked on key elements, or which pages were visited. Yatzo uses these technologies to facilitate your access to the Site, to analyse its traffic and usage, to identify malfunctions and to improve its content and design.
5.3 Yatzo may work with other companies that place cookies, web beacons or other tracking technology on the Site. These companies help Yatzo manage the Site and offer additional services and products. Their use of these technologies is subject to their own privacy rules and terms of use, which are not covered by this Policy and for which Yatzo is not responsible.
5.4 The Site may use Google Analytics, a web-analysis service supplied by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies (text files placed on your device) to help analyse how users use the Site. IP anonymisation is enabled, so that your IP address is truncated within Switzerland or the EEA before transmission; only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server and truncated there. Google may pass this data to third parties where legally required, or where third parties process it on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
5.5 On your first visit we ask for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (in particular analytics and marketing cookies) through a cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the Site to function, are set without consent. You can accept, refuse or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings available on the Site or the settings of your browser. Please note that refusing cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
6.1 Your personal data is processed primarily in Switzerland and the European Union. However, some of our service providers (for example, providers of analytics or infrastructure services such as Google) may process data in countries outside Switzerland and the EEA, including the United States.
6.2 Where we transfer personal data to a country that does not offer an adequate level of data protection, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. Depending on the recipient, we rely on: an adequacy decision (recognition by the Swiss Federal Council or the European Commission that the country ensures adequate protection); the certification of the recipient under the Swiss–U.S. or EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework; or appropriate contractual safeguards, in particular the Standard Contractual Clauses, supplemented where necessary by additional technical and organisational measures.
6.3 You may obtain further information about these safeguards, and where available a copy of the relevant documents, by contacting us at info@yatzo.com.
7.1 We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and thereafter for as long as we are required or entitled to keep it under applicable law (in particular to comply with legal retention obligations and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims).
7.2 The criteria used to determine our retention periods include the purpose and nature of the processing, the existence of an ongoing relationship with you, our legal and accounting obligations, and the applicable limitation periods.
7.3 By way of indication:
7.4 Once retention is no longer justified, we delete or anonymise the data.
8.1 Yatzo undertakes to process your personal data appropriately and will implement all reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, disclosure, inappropriate alteration or misuse.
8.2 Yatzo uses standard technology and security precautions, rules and procedures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, improper use, disclosure, loss or destruction. Industry-standard firewalls and password protection are also used to protect your identification information.
8.3 You acknowledge that the use of the internet is not secure by definition and that it involves certain risks to your personal data. Yatzo does everything possible to protect your personal data but cannot guarantee that the data you provide will be safe from security breaches, unauthorised access or loss, in respect of which we exclude any responsibility to the extent permitted by law.
8.4 It is your responsibility to ensure that the device you are using is adequately secured and protected against malicious software such as Trojans, viruses and worms. You are aware that, without adequate security measures (including a securely configured web browser and up-to-date antivirus software), there is a risk that the data and passwords you use to protect access to your data could be disclosed to unauthorised third parties.
8.5 In the event that your personal data has been subject to a breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights, we will inform you without undue delay by email or by any other appropriate means. Where required by applicable law, we will also notify the competent supervisory authority (in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner) within the applicable time limits.
Your personal data belongs to you. You are at all times entitled to know what is happening to it and to decide what happens to it. Under the applicable data-protection law, you have the following rights:
9.1 Right of access. You have the right to know at any time whether Yatzo processes your personal data and, if so, which data.
9.2 Right to rectification. You have the right to have your personal data corrected at any time if you notice that we are processing inaccurate data about you.
9.3 Right to erasure. Where the processing of your personal data is no longer necessary — for example because you are no longer bound by contract to Yatzo or you no longer accept that your data is processed — you may request its erasure. We will delete your personal data unless we are still required to keep it for a certain period, for example under a legal retention obligation.
9.4 Right to restriction. You have the right to restrict or block the processing of your personal data, unless we are still required to keep or process it for a certain period.
9.5 Right to object and to withdraw consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the data-protection provisions at any time. This option is available after logging into your account; a simple email to info@yatzo.com containing the relevant withdrawal information is also sufficient. Please use the email address with which you registered on Yatzo, so that we can confirm the request comes from you.
9.6 Right to data portability. Where the processing is based on your consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Data-protection law provides that these rights do not apply unconditionally: there are various reasons why we may not be able to disclose all data in response to an access request or comply with an objection, and these rights may be limited by other legal provisions. You can usually exercise these rights free of charge; however, we must be able to satisfy ourselves, by appropriate means, that it is truly you making the request.
Procedures according to the nature of your request:
The Site and our services are directed to businesses and professionals and are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at info@yatzo.com and we will delete it without undue delay.
Yatzo will answer all your questions and concerns regarding your personal data at: Rue du Rhône 80–84, CH-1204 Geneva, Switzerland; by email at info@yatzo.com; or by phone at +41 78 792 28 06 (Monday to Friday, 08:00–12:00 and 13:00–16:00).
If you believe that your personal data has been subject to unlawful use, or that Yatzo has not met your expectations, you may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (Eidgenössischer Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragter, EDÖB), reachable at https://www.edoeb.admin.ch. For the EU, the contact details of the data-protection supervisory authorities are available at https://www.edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en.
We encourage you to contact Yatzo about any complaint concerning personal data, but you also have the right to address your complaints directly to the authorities.
12.1 Some pages on our Site may contain links to and from the sites of third parties. These sites or pages do not apply the same Privacy Policy.
12.2 If you decide to follow a link to any such third-party site, you will be redirected to that site. As such sites are not under our control, we recommend that you consult the privacy policy available on the relevant site or page to understand how it collects, uses and transmits personal data. We are not responsible for the content of any linked site.
13.1 Yatzo complies with the provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (and the GDPR wherever applicable) but cannot fully guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and availability of personal data.
13.2 We cooperate with government and law-enforcement authorities and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose information about you to government or law-enforcement authorities, or to private parties, where we, acting reasonably, consider it necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including subpoenas), to protect our or a third party’s property and rights, to protect the safety of the public or of any person, or to prevent or stop any activity that we may consider, or reasonably suspect, to be illegal, unethical, inappropriate or legally actionable. For compliance matters, please contact us at info@yatzo.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the applicable law. Where the changes are material, we will inform you by a notice on the Site and, where you hold a registered account, by email to the address associated with it, before the changes take effect and within the notice period set out in the Terms of Use. The current version is always available on the Site, with the date of the last update shown at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
15.1 This Privacy Policy, and any matter connected with it (including non-contractual disputes and claims), is governed by Swiss law, to the exclusion of the rules of private international law.
15.2 The courts of the registered office of Yatzo shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute in connection with this Privacy Policy (including non-contractual disputes and claims, as well as its interpretation).
