DATA SECURITY

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or destruction. These include, for example, modern encryption and authentication procedures. Communication between the Mirus NEO application/web application and our servers is encrypted (TLS/SSL), so that no unauthorized third party can read the data en route. Our servers are located in a professionally secured data center (Microsoft Azure, Frankfurt) with strict physical and digital safeguards. Internally, we ensure through access restrictions that only authorized employees have access to personal data – and only to the extent necessary. All employees and involved service providers are obliged to confidentiality and compliance with data protection. Please note: You should also contribute to data security by keeping your access data secret and choosing a strong password. If you suspect that unauthorized third parties have gained knowledge of your access data or that a security incident has occurred, please inform us immediately.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

In principle, we process your data in Switzerland or the EU. As described above, all Mirus NEO data, for example, is stored on servers in Germany. A transfer to other countries only takes place within the scope of using specific services (e.g., if a subcontractor in another country receives technical information). Should we transfer personal data to a country that does not offer an adequate level of data protection from the perspective of Switzerland or the EU (e.g., the USA), we will agree on contractual guarantees (such as standard data protection clauses) or take other protective measures to ensure an equivalent level of protection for your data. If necessary, we will also obtain your consent before such transfers take place. We point out to users residing in Switzerland that data transferred to the USA may be subject to other laws there (e.g., US authorities could access data under certain circumstances without the same legal remedies being available to data subjects as in Switzerland). However, we take all possible precautions according to the current state of the art to protect your data as best as possible and select our service providers carefully. If you have any questions about our data transfers abroad, you can contact us at any time.

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECTS

You can assert the following rights regarding data processing:

Right to information You can request confirmation as to whether and to what extent personal data about you is being processed.

Right to rectification If we process incomplete or incorrect personal data about you, you can request its rectification or completion at any time.

Right to erasure You can request the erasure of your personal data if the purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist, there is unlawful processing, the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate protection interests, or the data processing is based on your consent and you have withdrawn it. It should be noted that there may be other reasons that may prevent immediate erasure of your data, e.g., legally regulated retention obligations, pending proceedings, assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, etc.

Right to restriction of processing You have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your data if you dispute the accuracy of your data, for a period that allows us to verify the accuracy of the data, the processing of your data is unlawful, but you refuse erasure and instead request a restriction of data use, we no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or you have objected to the processing of the data.

Right to data portability You can request that we provide you with your data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format, provided that we process the data based on your given consent or for the fulfillment of a contract between us and the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

Right to object If we process your data to perform tasks that are in the public interest, to exercise official authority, or if we rely on the necessity of processing to protect our legitimate interest, you can object to this data processing if there is an overriding protection interest in your data. You can object to the sending of advertising at any time without giving reasons.

Right to withdraw All declarations of consent given by you can be withdrawn independently at any time. A withdrawal means that from this point on, we will no longer process your data for the purposes stated in the declaration of consent, and thus the corresponding rights and benefits can no longer be claimed.

These rights can be asserted at any time by sending a message via the contact form or to the email address info(at)mirus.ch. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity. This serves to protect your rights and your privacy.

Complaints and Supervisory Authority

We hope that we can answer all your data protection concerns to your satisfaction. Should you nevertheless be of the opinion that we have violated applicable data protection law or infringed your data protection rights when processing your personal data, you can contact us at any time (data protection inquiries please send to info(at)mirus.ch). We take your complaint seriously and will investigate it.
