• taking steps requested before entering into a contract;

• providing and managing creative services;

• complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

Personal data is not used for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy unless you are informed or your permission is obtained where required.

5. Grounds for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, SONARIX processes personal data because:

• processing is necessary to respond to your request;

• processing is necessary to prepare or perform a contract;

• SONARIX has a legitimate business interest in operating, protecting and improving its website and services;

• processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation;

• you have provided consent, where consent is required.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before the withdrawal.

6. Google Analytics

SONARIX uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors access and use the website.

Google Analytics is a website analytics service provided by Google. It may process information concerning:

• the number of website visitors;

• website sessions;

• pages viewed;

• interactions with the website;

• browser and device information;

• approximate geographical location;

• traffic sources;

• technical and usage identifiers.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to recognise a browser or device and generate website usage statistics.

Google states that individual IP addresses from users in Switzerland, the European Union and the United Kingdom are not logged or stored by Google Analytics. An IP address may nevertheless be used temporarily to determine approximate location and perform technical processing before being discarded.

The information generated through Google Analytics may be processed by Google companies and infrastructure located outside Switzerland, including in countries whose data protection laws may differ from Swiss law.

Google acts in accordance with its own contractual terms, privacy documentation and applicable data protection safeguards.

Analytics data is used in aggregated or statistical form to:

• measure website traffic;

• understand which pages are most useful;

• identify technical or usability issues;

• evaluate traffic sources;

• improve website content and performance.

SONARIX does not intentionally send names, email addresses, telephone numbers or other directly identifying contact information to Google Analytics.

Where required, Google Analytics is activated according to your cookie choices or consent preferences.

You may restrict analytics cookies through the cookie settings made available on the website, where applicable, or through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect certain website measurements but should not prevent access to the main website content.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on a device when visiting a website.

The SONARIX website may use:

Essential Technologies

These technologies are required for the website to function correctly, remain secure and display its content.

They may support functions such as:

• website delivery;

• security;

• network management;

• form functionality;

• fraud or misuse prevention;

• storage of privacy preferences.

Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics may use analytics cookies or similar identifiers to measure website usage and performance.

Analytics technologies are not intended to identify you directly by name.

You may manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may also block some or all cookies.

Disabling certain cookies may affect parts of the website or prevent SONARIX from obtaining accurate usage statistics.

8. Sharing of Personal Data

SONARIX does not sell or rent personal data.

Personal data may be shared only where reasonably necessary with:

• website hosting and technical infrastructure providers;

• email and communication providers;

• Google in connection with Google Analytics;

• professional advisers such as accountants, lawyers or insurers;

• contractors or service providers assisting SONARIX, where necessary;

• public authorities, courts or law-enforcement bodies where legally required;

• parties involved in the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Service providers may process personal data only to the extent required to perform their services or comply with their own legal obligations.

9. International Data Transfers

Some service providers used by SONARIX may process personal data outside Switzerland.

This may include processing in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States or other countries in which a service provider operates.

Where personal data is transferred to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection under Swiss law, SONARIX relies, where required, on appropriate safeguards such as recognised contractual clauses, an applicable data protection framework or another legally permitted transfer mechanism.

Despite these safeguards, foreign authorities may potentially access personal data under the laws of the relevant country.

10. Data Retention

SONARIX retains personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

The applicable retention period depends on factors including:

• the nature of the information;

• the purpose for which it was collected;

• the duration of the Client or business relationship;

• whether an enquiry resulted in a project;

• contractual, accounting or legal obligations;

• applicable limitation periods;

• the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Unsuccessful or inactive enquiries may be deleted when they are no longer reasonably required.

Project and contractual information may be retained for longer where necessary for business records, legal obligations, intellectual property documentation or dispute prevention.

Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings configured in the SONARIX Google Analytics account and may subsequently be deleted, aggregated or anonymised.

11. Data Security

SONARIX takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against:

• unauthorised access;

• accidental loss;

• misuse;

• alteration;

• disclosure;

• destruction.

These measures may include access controls, secure passwords, authentication measures, software updates, restricted access and appropriate service-provider safeguards.

However, no website, email system or internet transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communication channels unless appropriate protective measures have been agreed.

12. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law and any legal limitations, you may request:

• confirmation as to whether SONARIX processes personal data concerning you;

• access to your personal data;

• information about the purposes and circumstances of processing;

• correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;

• deletion of personal data that is no longer required;

• restriction or cessation of certain processing;

• withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent;

• delivery or transfer of certain personal data where a legal right to data portability applies.

You may also object to certain uses of your personal data, particularly direct marketing.

SONARIX may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.

Certain information may be retained despite a deletion request where processing is required by law, necessary for contract performance or reasonably required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Requests may be sent to:

contact@sonarix.ch

Where permitted by law, you may also submit a complaint to the competent data protection authority.

In Switzerland, the competent federal supervisory authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

13. Marketing Communications

SONARIX does not currently operate an automated marketing newsletter through the website.

SONARIX may respond to your enquiry or communicate with you regarding an existing or proposed project.

Marketing communications will only be sent where legally permitted. You may request to stop receiving such communications at any time by contacting SONARIX or using any unsubscribe method provided.

14. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

The website may include links to or content from third-party services, such as social media, audio, video or portfolio platforms.

Opening or interacting with third-party content may allow the relevant provider to collect personal data independently from SONARIX.

Third-party providers process personal data according to their own terms and privacy policies. SONARIX does not control and is not responsible for their independent data-processing practices.

15. Children’s Privacy

The SONARIX website and services are intended primarily for businesses, professionals and individuals seeking professional creative services.

SONARIX does not knowingly collect personal data from children through the website.

A parent or legal representative who believes that a child has submitted personal data may contact SONARIX to request its review or deletion.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

SONARIX may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to:

• the website;

• the services provided;

• the technologies used;

• data-processing practices;

• legal or regulatory requirements.

The current version will be published on this page with an updated effective or revision date.
