Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
1. Controller. Sphere Group International GmbH, Felsenstrasse 62, 8832 Wollerau, Switzerland · info@spheregroup.ch. Managing Director: Simon Erdmann. We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2. Contact and appointment booking. This website does not offer a contact form or newsletter. You can reach us by e-mail, via LinkedIn, or by booking an appointment through Microsoft Bookings (links “Get in touch” and “Book ECP Info Session”). When you book, we process the information you enter (in particular name, e-mail address, the selected date and time, and any message you add) in order to schedule and hold the appointment and to correspond with you about it. Legal basis: pre-contractual measures at your request (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) or our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)); under Swiss law, the processing is justified by your request. The booking service is provided by Microsoft (Microsoft 365, including Microsoft Bookings); Microsoft processes the data as our processor under its Data Protection Addendum. Booking data is stored in Microsoft data centres in Switzerland. For support and operations, Microsoft may access the data from other countries, including the United States; such access is safeguarded by Microsoft’s certification under the Swiss-US / EU-US Data Privacy Framework and by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You will receive a booking confirmation by e-mail, if applicable with a link to join the meeting online. We retain booking data for as long as needed for the appointment and the related correspondence, as a rule no longer than twelve months, unless it leads to a business relationship.
3. Business contacts and outreach. We may contact business representatives by e-mail or LinkedIn to present our services. For this purpose we process business contact details (in particular name, company, position, business e-mail address and, where available, business phone number and LinkedIn profile) as well as notes on our correspondence. We obtain this data from publicly accessible sources, such as company websites, commercial registers and LinkedIn, or directly from you. Each message is written and sent individually; we do not send mass mailings. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in presenting our services to businesses (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f), where applicable); under Swiss law the processing is justified by this overriding interest. Our IT, e-mail and contact-management service providers process the data on our behalf and may access it from other countries, including the United States; where a country does not offer adequate protection, transfers are safeguarded by the Swiss-US / EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. If you do not respond, we delete your data no later than twelve months after our last contact, unless a business relationship develops. You can object at any time, informally, for example by replying “unsubscribe” or writing to info@spheregroup.ch. We will then stop contacting you and keep only the information needed to respect your objection.
4. Data processed automatically. When you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically records technical data (IP address, date and time, browser type, pages requested) so that the site runs securely and reliably. Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). This data is retained for a limited period, as a rule no longer than 30 days, and is then deleted, unless it is needed to investigate a security incident. This site does not use web analytics or tracking cookies.
5. Hosting and transfers abroad. This site is hosted by Netlify (Netlify, Inc., USA). Operating the site therefore involves a transfer of technical data to the United States, safeguarded by appropriate safeguards (the EU-US / Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework and/or EU Standard Contractual Clauses) under our hosting provider’s data-processing addendum. We do not sell personal data.
6. Your rights. Subject to applicable law you may request access, rectification, erasure and restriction, and you may object to processing. Requests: info@spheregroup.ch.
7. Complaints. Switzerland: Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC / EDÖB), Bern. EU/EEA: your local data-protection supervisory authority.
8. Changes. We may update this policy; the current version is always available on this page.
