We have implemented reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data collected by us via the S-W-S Website against unauthorized access, misuse, loss or destruction.
What should you consider when sending data over the Internet?
The Internet is generally not regarded as a secure environment, and information sent via the Internet (such as to or from the S-W-S Website or via electronic messaging system) may be accessed by unauthorized third parties, potentially leading to disclosures, changes in content or technical failures. Even if both sender and receiver are located in the same country, information sent via the Internet may be transmitted across international borders and be forwarded to a country with a lower data protection level than exists in your country of residence.
S-W-S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the security of your information whilst in transit over the Internet to us. In order to protect your privacy we would like to remind you that you may choose another means of communication with us, where you deem it appropriate.
Security of data transfers
Please note that data that is transported over an open network, such as the Internet or e-mail, may be accessible to others. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted via such open networks. When disclosing any personal information via an open network, you should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to anyone, and consequently, can be collected and used by others without your consent. In particular, even if individual data packets are often encrypted, the names of the sender and recipient are not. A third party may therefore be able to trace an existing bank account or relationship or one that is subsequently created. Even if both the sender and recipient are located in the same country, data may also be transmitted via such networks to other countries regularly and without controls, including to countries that do not have the same level of data protection as your country of domicile.
Your data may be lost during transmission or may be accessed by unauthorized parties. We do not accept any liability for direct or indirect losses with regards to the security of your data during its transfer via Internet. Please use other means of communication if you think this is necessary or prudent for security reasons.
How do we deal with information from individuals under the age of 18?
Swiss Wealth Solutions’ Website does not seek to collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. Individuals under the age of 18 should receive permission from their parent or legal guardian, before providing any personal data to S-W-S on our Website.
