Within AKB your data are processed by the employees involved from Human Resources Management. Your data can otherwise only be accessed by the people involved in the selection process or who require these data within the context of their work for AKB (e.g. line managers).

AKB may only disclose information concerning you or make such information accessible to third parties if there is a legal basis for doing so (in particular under law or contract), if you have consented (e.g. in order to execute a financial transaction in accordance with your instructions) or if AKB is entitled to do so in order to obtain information. Potential recipients include:

• service providers that process your data on behalf of AKB (e.g. IT providers) as well as those that do so under their own responsibility (e.g. insurers)
• authorities in Switzerland and, where applicable, abroad (e.g. social insurance, courts, supervisory authorities)
• business partners such as clients, suppliers, project partners and advisors (e.g. in the event that contact data and work products are shared)
• other recipients such as the media, the general public (e.g. website visitors) or potential new employers, lessors, third parties (to which AKB provides e.g. references with your consent) as well as persons associated with you (e.g. family members)
   

As a general rule, data may be transmitted to countries outside Switzerland (known as “third countries”). Your data may be processed both in Europe/the EEA as well as in the USA or, under exceptional circumstances, in any country around the world. If the recipient is situated in a country without an adequate level of statutory data protection, AKB undertakes to oblige the recipients under contract to comply with the applicable data protection requirements (by signing the EU standard contractual clauses). Data may be transferred abroad where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if the data were published by you, in cases in which this is necessary in relation to legal proceedings abroad or with your consent.

AKB implements state-of-the-art technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and transparency of your personal data, to protect them against unauthorised or unlawful processing and to protect against the risks of loss, inadvertent alteration, unintended disclosure or unauthorised access. 
AKB uses the system provided by the firm Abacus Research AG, 9300 Wittenbach for managing job applications. The software partner is obliged under contract to ensure confidentiality and data protection.
 

Under the terms of the applicable data protection law, a data subject can exercise in particular the following rights in relation to data concerning him or her: the right to be informed whether any data are being processed, and if so which; the right to obtain the rectification of any data that are inaccurate; the right to the erasure of data; and the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation.
AKB would inform you separately concerning any usage of automated decision making.
 

AKB may amend this Privacy Policy at any time. The version published on this website is the relevant up-to-date version.
