When you provide us with personal information through online forms on the Website, you will always have the opportunity to opt out of receiving marketing and promotional material relating to Braendum Services. However, the ability to opt out of receiving marketing and promotional materials does not affect Braendum’s right to contact you regarding your use of the Website or Services ordered through the Website.
The personal data you provide to us will only be processed and used in a way that is proportionate to the purpose for which it was collected. Braendum does not combine personal data that has been collected for various purposes. We will not store your personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was provided or collected. We will only retain personal data that is used for a legitimate purpose (e.g., applicable law may require data retention).
We will not collect excessive amounts of personal data that is not relevant to the purposes for which it is collected.
Below, we have outlined, in a bullet point format, a description of all the ways we intend to use your personal data, along with the legal bases we rely on for doing so. We have also specified our legitimate interests where applicable.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another purpose that is compatible with the original purpose. If you would like an explanation of how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.
If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in accordance with the above rules where this is required or permitted by applicable law.
When processing an application for the registration of an intellectual property right or other services related to these, certain owner information will become public. The different local intellectual property registration authorities (government authorities) will publish the owner information of the various intellectual property rights sought to be registered, either through a digital publicly accessible database or physically through paper journals, bulletins, gazettes, or both. The information that will become public is the applicant’s or owner’s full name, nationality, and address.
We may also provide your personal data to third parties without your consent, such as (i) the persons who provide us with the technical operation of a particular Service or the operators of the technologies we use for our Services; (ii) accounting service providers; (iii) providers marketing services.
Your personal information will not be shared or provided to any other third party without your consent, except in the following cases: (i) when Braendum is required by law to provide personal information; or (ii) if the sharing of personal data is expressly permitted by applicable law.
Braendum shall ensure that it cooperates only with persons located in countries that provide an adequate level of protection of privacy and the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals under the FADP.
We do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) other than to External Third Parties where it is necessary for the performance of the contract with you (for example the use of Trademark registries in foreign countries).
Modification of personal data through the Website will not automatically modify the personal data published by the different local government agencies through which intellectual property rights were applied for or registered.
Braendum is committed to keeping your personal information secure. Therefore, we have implemented adequate physical, technical and organizational measures and plans to protect and secure the collected data (which, however, does not relieve you of your obligation to take appropriate steps to secure your data, especially when transferring your data to us).
The purpose of these measures is to prevent unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data or accidental, unauthorized or unlawful access, use, transfer, processing, copying, modification, loss or damage to personal data.
Despite our best efforts to comply with applicable laws, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data if it is transmitted in an insecure manner.
In particular, we will protect your data by (i) minimizing data; (ii) limiting access to your personal data; (iii) using a password and cryptography, if necessary; (iv) physical security; (v) other security measures (technical and organizational).
You can revoke your voluntary consent to the processing of personal data at any time by sending an e-mail to contact@braendum.com. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the processing of personal data that we process on a legal basis other than consent (i.e., especially if the processing is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, legal obligation or for other reasons specified in the applicable legislation).
You have the right to obtain details about the personal data we process about you and to correct or delete personal data (the right to be forgotten) or to restrict the processing of data concerning you. To exercise these rights, you can contact us at contact@braendum.com. However, if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive, we reserve the right to refuse them.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than one month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made several requests. If this happens, we will notify you and keep you updated.
If you believe that your data has been processed unlawfully, please contact us at contact@braendum.com, and we will do our best to resolve the issue. At the same time, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data and to address your complaint to the supervisory authority, which in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the FDIPC so please contact us in the first instance!
