PEMOS AG protects the confidentiality and security of personal data that we collect or receive in the course of our business activities and recruitment. We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Act and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
This privacy policy explains why we may collect and process your personal data and what rights you have in this regard.
We are PEMOS AG, with registered office at c/o Bär & Karrer AG, Baarerstrasse 8, 6300 Zug (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us" or "our"). We are responsible for processing your personal data that we collect or receive in the course of our business activities or process for other purposes as defined in this policy.
In order to provide our services and conduct our business activities, we collect and process personal data about customers, affiliated persons, third parties and other persons, as well as their representatives, beneficial owners and (former) employees. We also collect and process personal data when you offer us services or products, when we review your products or services, and generally when you request information from us or send us information. Finally, we collect and process personal data about applicants and alumni of PEMOS AG.
The type of personal data we collect includes, for example, name and contact details (such as address, email address and telephone number), nationality, areas of business interest, professional history and information of any kind from correspondence, contacts and interactions with us. We also process all types of information that is disclosed to us in the course of our services or that we collect ourselves. In exceptional cases, this information also includes particularly sensitive personal data. If your consent is required for the processing of sensitive personal data, we will obtain it in advance.
We collect the following personal data from applicants: your personal details, contact details, application documents (e.g. cover letter, CV, employment references, diplomas, references, etc.) and extracts from criminal and debt collection registers.
For our alumni, we collect and store their names, contact details (such as address, email address and telephone number), information about their employment with us and afterwards, and other information we have received from them.
Finally, our website server temporarily stores information about your use of our website. This information includes, among other things, the IP address, the date and time of access, the name and URL of the file accessed, the website from which access is made, the browser used (including version), the operating system (including version) of the computer used, and the name of the user's access provider.
We collect and process personal data in order to provide our services to you (consulting in the context of business succession, strategic projects and/or investment support) and to conduct our company's business (e.g. carrying out administrative and organisational processes, risk management).
If we require information for our services and you do not provide it to us, we will not be able to work for you.
We also use personal data to promote and develop our business relationship with you, to identify services that may be of interest to you, to carry out business development activities, to send you publications and communications, to invite you to events and to follow up on our events, to monitor and analyse our business, to improve our services and products for you, and to comply with our legal obligations to identify clients.
You can change the newsletters and other communications you receive from our marketing department using the "Manage subscriptions" option at the bottom of our emails. If you no longer wish to receive emails about our services and events, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option at the bottom of the email or by contacting us.
We collect and process personal data about you to ensure the smooth functioning and system security of our website, as well as to improve the website and analyse its usage.
When you apply for a position or career event at PEMOS AG, you must provide us with certain personal data. By submitting your application, you enable us to use and review this information (including checking references, background, identity, debt collection and criminal records) so that we can invite you to an interview and determine whether you are suitable for the position.
If we require information for the recruitment process and you do not provide it when requested, we will not be able to process your application further.
If you are a former employee of PEMOS AG, we collect your personal data in order to stay in contact with you.
We use cookies on our website to achieve some of the above purposes. For more information about which cookies we use, for what purposes they are used and what rights you have in relation to these cookies, please refer to our cookie policy.
We obtain your personal data directly from you, our customers, other involved parties and their respective representatives and employees. We also collect personal data from third parties such as employers, other organisations with which you are in contact, supervisory authorities, government agencies, courts, law firms or other advisors. We also obtain personal data from publicly available sources (such as commercial registers, debt collection registers and land registries, credit agencies or contractual partners).
We take appropriate security measures to keep your personal data safe in electronic and physical form and to protect it against unauthorised access, misuse, disclosure, unauthorised alteration or deletion, and loss.
Access to our premises is controlled and electronic data collections are protected by logins and passwords. Our partners, employees and third-party service providers who have access to confidential information (including personal data) are subject to confidentiality obligations and, where necessary, have signed appropriate data processing agreements.
Where necessary or appropriate for the provision of our services or the fulfilment of the purposes defined in this privacy policy, we may disclose personal data that we collect in the course of providing our services, when you contact us or when you visit our website, to third parties (such as consultants, affiliated parties, courts, authorities, counterparties, advisors with whom we work, and other persons). We may also disclose personal data about you to third parties if:
We also work with various service providers and may share your personal data with them, e.g. banks, insurance companies or IT providers who may have access to your personal data in the context of IT support, cloud providers, marketing and media agencies.
We generally process your personal data in Switzerland. Our cloud servers are also located in Switzerland. Certain service providers of ours transfer personal data to EU member states (in particular the Netherlands or Ireland) or the USA, or access personal data from these countries for support purposes. The EU member states offer an adequate level of data protection. To ensure that your personal data remains protected when transferred to the USA, we conclude EU standard contractual clauses (including the Swiss annex) with the recipients.
In exceptional cases, we may also transfer personal data to other countries if you instruct us to do so or if this is necessary to establish, exercise or enforce your or our own claims. If these third parties are based outside Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the EU, we will only share your data on a basis that provides adequate data protection.
We store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. We also store your personal data in order to comply with legal and regulatory documentation and retention requirements, for as long as claims could be asserted against us, or insofar as this is necessary for legitimate interests, in particular the security of our data.
Personal data of applicants to whom we cannot offer a position will be deleted no later than six months after rejection. With the consent of applicants, we may retain the personal data collected for a longer period in order to offer applicants other positions with us.
You may have the following rights:
If you have consented to the collection, processing or disclosure of your personal data for a specific purpose, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your personal data unless there is another legitimate interest in doing so.
Please note that the granting of these rights may be refused or restricted in some cases for legal reasons or on the basis of data protection law. We will inform you of the reasons for our decision, if legally required or permitted.
You will not normally have to pay a fee to exercise your rights. However, we may charge a fee if permitted by applicable data protection law, in which case we will inform you.
If you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us in writing by email to Data Protection or by postal service to:

If you believe that we have not handled your request or concern to your satisfaction, or if you believe that we are not processing your data in accordance with data protection regulations, you can contact the competent supervisory authority; in Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
We reserve the right to update and amend this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the way we process your personal data or changes in legal requirements. Any changes we make to this policy in the future will be posted on our website. Please check back regularly to see if there have been any updates or changes to this policy.
