Scope of data processing, purpose, legal framework

We collect and process personal data that you voluntarily provide by sending us an email, applying for a job, accepting an offer of employment, participating in a survey, completing an online form, or enrolling yourself or your children in our school or one of our related services such as the cafeteria or transport.

We create and process personal data files about our current and future students, clients and alumni in order to evaluate and deal with their registration and admission as well as to manage any subsequent contractual relationship with the concerned data subject or their legal representative(s) and to provide news and information about ACT2.

We create and process personal data files about job applicants and our current employees for the purposes of recruiting and the management of the subsequent employment relationship.

All personal data collection and analysis is done in compliance with both the applicable Swiss and European data protection laws and the corresponding data are treated confidentially.

Disclosure of personal data 

Your personal data will be processed by our employees on a need to know basis, depending on the specific purposes for which your personal data has been collected.

We will only share personal data with trusted third parties for the purposes of conducting the activities and business of the school and provision of related services. Such third parties process data exclusively on our instructions and may not perform any other data processing, which does not occur in connection with this privacy notice, in particular the processing of personal data for its own purposes.

In some circumstances we are legally obliged to share information for legal reasons, for example under a court order or where we cooperate with other Swiss or European supervisory authorities in handling complaints or investigations. 

Transfer to third countries

If the level of data protection of this third country does not correspond to the Swiss or European level of data protection, we will ensure compliance with the Swiss or European level of data protection contractually. 

Technical and organisational measures

We protect your personal data by ensuring reasonable technical and organisational measures are applied to secure such data available to us against loss, access or misuse by unauthorized third parties. Our employees, who are entrusted with data processing, as well as our contract processors are obligated to maintain confidentiality and comply with the provisions of data protection law.

In accordance with applicable laws, we will use your personal data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which your personal data was collected and as set out in this privacy notice.
