Pactum AG, Freigutstrasse 20, 8001 Zurich (hereinafter referred to as “Pactum”) is committed to protecting your personal information. We attach great importance to complying with all laws, rules and regulations regarding data protection.
Hereinafter, we want to lay out how Pactum deals with personal data that is collected from users visiting the website pactum.ch. Personal data is defined as information which is eligible to personally identify you. The Federal Act on Data Protection 1992 (FADP) and the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) establish the legal basis for this policy.
By accessing the website pactum.ch the user gives their consent to the usage of their personal data in the ways outlined in this policy. Pactum may need to make changes to its privacy policy form time to time; it is the user’s responsibility to check the website for the latest version.
When visiting our website or using our app, technical data is collected and transmitted to us automatically. This data may qualify to identify the user and to analyze his behavior. The data collected may comprise of the following:
Personal data is partially being collected to ensure the smooth usage of the website and the app. In addition, based on the collected information we analyze how our electronic services are being used and can optimize the website according to user preferences.
If you have shared your contact information (especially e-mail address) with us we will potentially use it to send you our market analysis papers, marketing material or similar communications. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, you can let us know at any time by simply contacting us in any form that is convenient for you. We will then immediately stop sending you these messages.
Pactum and all its commissioners take the necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure the safekeeping of the collected personal data and to protect it from loss and unauthorized access.

Generally, Pactum does not share personal data with third parties.
Nevertheless, some of our service providers may have access to personal information, especially when maintaining our IT systems. Moreover, we will provide information to supervisory institutions or other authorities if we are required to do so by law.
