8. Retention of your personal data

We will hold your personal data for as long as it is necessary or required by law or by any relevant regulatory body, and always in compliance with the data minimization principle. Specific storage periods for the respective processing activities are detailed in section 3 above.

We will retain accounting data for ten years in accordance with the commercial and tax law storage obligations (Swiss Code of Obligations Article 958f and the Ordinance for keeping and retaining accounting records (Olico)).

If personal data is processed on the basis of an express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject revokes his consent. If there are legal storage periods for data that is processed within the framework of legal or similar obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the storage periods if it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of the contract and/or if we no longer have a justified interest in further storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises his right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can provide compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises his right of objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

If your personal data is used for more than one purpose, we will retain it until the purpose with the longest period expires, but we will stop using it for the purpose with the shorter period as soon as the shorter period expires (to comply with the purpose limitation principle). We restrict access to your personal data to the persons who need to use it for the relevant purpose(s), always in compliance with the integrity and confidentiality principle.

After the processing of your data is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined in section 3 or your account is deleted (see sections 3.2 and 3.3) we will securely and separately store some of your data in accordance with statutory retention obligations applicable to us and reasonable business needs.

If the processing of your personal data is no longer necessary for any purpose it is either irreversibly anonymized (and the anonymized data may be retained), or securely erased.

9. Your data subject’s rights

You have various rights in relation to your personal data (as listed below). All of these rights can be exercised by contacting us via dataprotection@nanoleq.com.

Residents of certain jurisdictions may have additional personal information rights and choices. Please see sections 9 and 10 for more information.

Verification: in order to verify your request, we will take reasonable steps such as asking you to send us a confirmation from the email address associated with your account, so that we can verify that you are the owner of this email account. If there is no email address associated with your account, we may ask you for proof of ID.

Right to withdraw consent: Where the processing of your data relies on your prior consent, you have the right to withdraw such a consent at any time by notifying us via email to dataprotection@nanoleq.com or a contact request to support.oxalife.com. By withdrawing your consent, the lawfulness of the processing based on consent up until the point of withdrawal will not be affected.

This opt out does not apply to information provided to the Company as a result of a product purchase, warranty registration, product service experience or other transactions.
Right to object: You have a right to object under the conditions of Article 21 GDPR. Below you will find more detailed information:
— Right to object where the processing is based on legitimate interests: As a data subject, you have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time, to the processing of your personal data which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. In the event of an objection relating to your particular situation, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
— Right to object where we process your personal data for statistical purposes: If we process your personal data for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 9(2)(j) GDPR / section 27(1) BDSG, you have the right to object to such processing for reasons arising from your particular situation. In the event of such an objection, we will no longer process the personal data concerned for this purpose, unless the processing is necessary to fulfill a task in the public interest, or if the discontinuation of such a processing is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realization of statistical purposes and the continuation of processing is necessary for the fulfillment of statistical purposes.
— Right to object to direct marketing: Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we no longer process your personal data for these purposes. To exercise your rights of objection, you may reply by email to the direct marketing email you receive from us, or contact us at any time.
Right to be informed / ‘Right to know’: As a data subject, you have a right to obtain access and information under the conditions provided in Article 15 GDPR or or in Article 1798.110 (a) CCPA. This means in particular that you have the right to obtain confirmation from us as to whether we are processing your personal data or not. If so, you also have the right to obtain access to the personal data and the information listed in Article 15(1) GDPR and in Article 1798.110 (a) CCPA. This includes information:
regarding the purposes of the processing,
the categories of personal data that are being processed,
the categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you,
our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information,
the recipients or categories of recipients (including third parties) to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed,
if we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
(a) sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
(b) disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained,
and the specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
Right to erasure / ‘Right to be forgotten’ / ‘Right to delete’: As a data subject, you have a right to erasure (“right to be forgotten,” “Right to Delete”) under the conditions provided in Article 17 GDPR and Article (1798.105) CCPA, respectively. This means that you generally have the right to obtain from us the erasure of your personal data and we are obliged to erase your personal data without undue delay when one of the reasons listed in Article 17(1) GDPR applies or except when Article 1798.105 (d) CCPA is applicable. You can do this by deleting your account, in the App, at any time. If we have made the personal data public and are obliged to erase it, we are also obliged, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, to take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of those personal data (Article 17(2) of the GDPR. The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) does not by exception apply if the processing is necessary for one of the reasons listed in Article 17(3) GDPR. This can be the case, for example, if the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (Article 17(3)(b) and (e) GDPR).
Right to restriction of processing: As a data subject, you have a right to restriction of processing under the conditions provided in Article 18 GDPR. This means that you have the right to obtain from us the restriction of processing if one of the conditions provided in Article 18(1) GDPR applies. This can be the case, for example, if you contest the accuracy of the personal data. In such a case, the restriction of processing lasts for a period that enables us to verify the accuracy of the personal data (Article 18(1)(a) GDPR). Restriction means that stored personal data are marked with the goal of restricting their future processing (Article 4(3) GDPR).
Right to data portability: As a data subject, you have a right to data portability under the conditions provided in Article 20 GDPR. This means that you generally have the right to receive your personal data with which you have provided us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us where the processing is based on consent (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract (pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), and where the processing is carried out by automated means (Article 20(1) GDPR). In exercising your right to data portability, you also generally have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller where technically feasible (Article 20(2) GDPR).
Right to Rectification: As a data subject, you have the right to rectification under the conditions provided in Article 16 GDPR. This means in particular that you have the right to receive from us, without undue delay, the rectification of inaccuracies in your personal data and completion of incomplete personal data.
Right to complain: As a data subject, you have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority under the conditions provided in Article 77 GDPR. The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Datenschutzstelle, Address: Beckenhofstrasse 59, 8006 Zürich, Switzerland; Telephone: +41 44 412 16 00; Contact: https://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/portal/de/index/politik_u_recht/datenschutzstelle/kontakt.html

Asking us to stop processing your personal data or deleting your personal data will likely mean that you are no longer able to use our Services, or at least those aspects of the Services which require the processing of the types of personal data you have asked us to delete, which may result in you no longer being able to use the Services.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights (which does not interfere with GDPR) regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Right to Know and Data Portability: You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know,” Article (1798.100) (a) CCPA). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will disclose to you:the categories of personal information we collected from you, together with the categories of sources from which it was collected, the purpose of the collection, the categories of third parties with whom we shared your personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information that have been collected (Article 1798.110 (a) CCPA).
Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of any personal information that we collected from you (Article (1798.105) CCPA). After we have verified your request to delete your personal information, we shall delete it from our records and direct any service providers to delete your personal information from their records, except when Article 1798.105 (d) CCPA is applicable. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by emailing us at dataprotection@nanoleq.com. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information. You may also make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child by emailing us at dataprotection@nanoleq.com.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact us.

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years old, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 15 years old, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years old. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by emailing us at: dataprotection@nanoleq.com.

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by emailing us at: dataprotection@nanoleq.com.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

11. Changes to this policy

We reserve the right to amend this Policy at our discretion and at any time. It is our policy to post any changes we make to this Policy on this page, and where appropriate, notified to you by email, notifications via the App, or by any other available means. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you by email to the email address specified in your account and/or through a notice on the website and/or the App.

This policy was last revised on 16 January 2023. You can view the previous versions here.

You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Websites and this privacy policy to check for any changes. We therefore encourage you to review it from time to time to stay informed about the way we are processing your data.
