WHAT DATA PROTECTION POLICY DOES ACCELOPMENT FOLLOW?

Our policy for data protection strictly follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).
We only collect data from our clients with their informed consent and only use data for the purpose for which the consent was given.
We only store data for the time period which is required for us to fulfil our contractual obligations and only keep records and other supporting documents in case of an audit from the EU.
We do not share data with third parties without consent, except for our suppliers of IT infrastructure. In such cases, a data processing agreement is put in place to ensure the safe and correct data processing on behalf of accelopment.
All our data processes are continuously monitored to ensure the highest degree of security and reliability.

In case of questions concerning the data protection policy of accelopment, our Data Protection Officer (DPO) Liam Colman is at your disposal on email: COMPANY@ACCELOPMENT.COM
