Dear Customer, Dear interested Parties,
Thank you for your interest in our company and the services and products we offer.
Crypto Finance AG and Crypto Finance (Asset Management) AG (hereinafter referred as CFG) take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Data protection has a particularly high priority for CFG.
Our team of selected and experienced specialists is familiar with the requirements of data protection law. They implement them with due care and in accordance with our high quality standards.
The confidential and responsible handling of personal data from our relationships with customers, business partners, personnel or job applicants and suppliers forms the basis of our entrepreneurial success. We therefore adhere to the following principles when handling personal data:
The controller within the meaning of the Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA) is:
Phone: +41 (0)41 552 45 05
Website: Crypto Finance Group
UID: CHE-433.965.277 (registered in the Commercial Register ZefixWebApp )
Crypto Finance AG, Hardstrasse 201, CH-8005 Zürich
Phone No: +41 (0)41 552 45 05, 08.00-17.30h (every working day)
CFG in its additional function as DPO, shall ensure that the DPO is properly involved at an early stage in all matters related to the protection of personal data and is supported by the controller in the performance of its tasks.
The independence of the DPO and his professional qualification as well as the expertise in the field of data protection law and practice to fulfil his tasks are guaranteed.
CFG treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations, in particular in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act of Data Protection (FADP or DPA) and this data protection declaration.
CFG processes personal data about the contractual partner in direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract (justification).
As a rule, the use of our website is possible without providing personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will obtain the consent of the data subject in an appropriate form after providing adequate information.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps despite the high security requirements we have created. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
As the (natural) person concerned, it is in your personal interest to secure the system(s) you use (PC, laptop, etc.) against unauthorized access by third parties, to provide it with sufficient password protection and not to pass the password on to third parties. Please install a virus protection (“Internet Security”) designated in the market and update it at regular intervals.
The website of CFG companies collects a series of general data and information every time a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server.
The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information which serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, CFG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for these, (3) to ensure the long-term operability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the CFG analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand for statistical purposes and on the other hand for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
The data protection declaration of CFG bases on the definitions used by the legislator for the adoption of the Data Protection Act (DPA).
Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers, interested parties and business partners. To ensure this, we explain the terms used. You can find these terms under the link Definitions.
Some of the internet pages, including those of CFG, use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require a valid e-mail address intended for your direct access as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and agree to receive the newsletter (so-called confirmation e-mail in the “double opt-in procedure”). No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.
CFG newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, CFG may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the person responsible for the processing or the electronic portal of a third-party provider commissioned by the latter, in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties; nor will it be used for any other purposes outside those stated above.
Consent
The recipient of our newsletter consents to this form of data processing based on the information provided above by accepting the privacy policy.
In the event of a withdrawal by the data subject, this personal data shall be deleted by the controller. CFG automatically regard a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation. CFG thereby unilaterally initiate the aforementioned measures.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
As a natural person concerned, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about whether personal data about you is being processed. The corresponding form for providing information is available here.
You will receive the information that is necessary to enable you to assert your rights under the Data Protection Act and to ensure transparent data processing.
Content of the information
CFG does not process personal data on the basis of an automated individual decision.
CFG may refuse, restrict or postpone the disclosure of information, in particular if a law in the formal sense provides for this, namely in order to protect a professional secret (business secret); this is necessary due to the overriding interests of third parties; or the request for information is obviously unfounded, namely if it pursues a purpose contrary to data protection, or is obviously querulous.
CFG shall state why it refuses, restricts or postpones the surrender or transfer.
As a data subject, you may request that inaccurate personal data be corrected unless:
The data subject may, by means of an action for the protection of personality under the Swiss Civil Code (CC/ZGB), in particular demand that:
The person responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is in particular the case when an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail with pdf files or other file types as attachments via a web form located on the website.
For the application process CFG works together with an internationally recognized system provider and its online software application to assist with our recruitment process. We use this software to process personal information as a data processor on our behalf. The system provider is only entitled to process your personal data in accordance with our instructions.
Where you apply for a job opening posted by us, these privacy notice provisions will apply to our processing of your personal information in addition to our other privacy notice which has been provided to you separately or is available on our website.
Where you apply for a job opening via the application function on a job site or similar online service provider (“Partner”), you should note that the relevant Partner may retain your personal data and may also collect data proceeds data (including collect data) from us in respect of the progress of your application. Any use by the Partner of your data will be in accordance with the Partner’s Privacy Notice. The partner has the same high standard in terms of data protection and data security as our standard is (“GDPR Compliance”).
If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored at CFG companies for the purpose of processing the employment relationship, in compliance with the statutory provisions and securing access for unauthorised employees and third parties.
If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the job applicant as the data subject, the application documents shall be deleted automatically and without further notice to the job applicant 12 months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller prevent such deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, obligations to provide evidence in proceedings under the Equal Treatment Act (“Gleichstellungsgesetz”/GlG).

Despite CFG great care, it can’t be ruled out that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within CFAG’s online offerings. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) are aware of the IP address of the user.
The IP address forms a necessary basis for the third-party providers to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus necessary for the presentation of this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective third-party providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform the users about this.
CFG hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. CFG and the other operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam e-mails.
For the website of CFG with their registered office in Switzerland, Swiss (data protection) law is exclusively applicable, unless other mandatory law, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), applies to the natural person concerned.
For all possible disputes between you as a visitor and user of the website of CFG, which arise from the operation or the visit of the websites, the court at the registered office of CFG (Switzerland) is exclusively responsible, unless another mandatory jurisdiction is applicable for the natural person concerned.
CFG is entitled to change this privacy statement if necessary. If changes are made to the statement, it may take up to 30 business days for new privacy practices to be implemented by CFG or for the necessary processes to be implemented. Please visit this page periodically to identify any changes. In the event of changes, we will draw your attention to them in particular (short message).
This Privacy Policy applies to all companies of CFG, i.e. to all dependent group companies as well as affiliated companies and their employees. Dependent in this sense means that CFG, directly or indirectly, due to the possession of the majority of voting rights, a majority in the company management or an agreement, can demand that this data protection declaration and thus the resulting obligations are taken over by the aforementioned companies. The data protection declaration covers all processing of personal data. In countries where data of legal entities are protected in the same way as personal data, this data protection declaration also applies in the same way to data of legal entities or partnerships. Anonymized data, e.g. for statistical analysis or research, is not subject to this Privacy Policy. The individual companies covered by this privacy policy are not entitled to make any arrangements that deviate from the level of protection provided by this privacy policy.
The Purchaser or the Customer fully accepts the contents of the Data Privacy Policy as updated from time to time. The Data Privacy Policy shall take precedence over the General Terms and Conditions of CFG (GTC) in the event of any contradictions.
