Personal data that you provide to us as part of your application are processed for the purpose of handling the respective application process, as far as this is necessary for the assessment of your application.

(a) is necessary for the performance of a contract with you;
(b) is necessary for the pursuit of legitimate interests;
(c) is based on a valid consent that has not been revoked;

We consider the following as legitimate interests, for example:
(a) customer care and maintaining our business relationships (e.g., maintaining contact, communication with our business partners);
(b) advertising and marketing activities;
(c) the ability to better understand the users of our website and online services;
(d) the improvement and development of our products and services (e.g., IT security in connection with the use of our website; improvement of our online services);
(e) internal group administration.

There is generally no obligation to disclose personal data to us. However, we will need to collect and process the personal data necessary for establishing and processing a contractual relationship with you or a company for which you work. The processing of log data and certain other data when using websites is also technically unavoidable. Even when communicating with us, we must process at least the personal data you provide to us or that we transmit to you.

5. Disclosure of Your Personal Data

Your personal data will not be shared with third parties outside the company. However, the disclosure of your personal data by Click & Power to other companies is reserved to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of services to Click & Power. These companies are obliged (e.g., by contract) to comply with applicable laws and our data protection regulations when processing your personal data. Furthermore, Click & Power will only disclose your data to other third parties if and to the extent required or permitted by applicable law, based on court orders, or a regulatory requirement.

6. Data Transfer Abroad

Click & Power produces, trades, and distributes energy and other products in Switzerland, Europe, and the USA. Therefore, we may transfer your data to a recipient of Click & Power outside your country of residence and possibly to a country without an adequate level of data protection. Should we transfer personal data to such a country, we are obliged to ensure the protection of your personal data in an appropriate manner, e.g., through data transfer agreements with the recipients, such as the so-called Standard Contractual Clauses, which you can access here.

7. Data Storage

We retain your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws only as long as necessary for the specified purpose. Technical data (e.g., log files), cookies, or information related to social plugins will be deleted after a maximum of 12 months if we are responsible for the respective processing. If a conducted application process is successful, the data transmitted in this context may continue to be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship, in compliance with legal requirements, as long as it is necessary for the performance of the employment relationship. If no employment relationship is established, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after the rejection decision, provided there are no other legitimate interests of the data controller that oppose deletion. Learn more about cookies here.

8. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of your personal data. Only persons who need access to your personal data for the purposes described here and to perform their respective duties have access to it (e.g., HR managers, IT system administrators). All individuals are obligated to process personal data confidentially and exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection regulations and provisions. Data transmissions to us occur over an open, publicly accessible, and cross-border network and are transmitted unencrypted. However, Click & Power has implemented security measures to protect the data from unauthorized actions and to ensure the authenticity of the website, the integrity of the data, and the confidentiality of data transmitted via the internal network (intranet). Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that data sent in this way may be lost, viewed by third parties, and thus allow for tracking of contact with us. Consequently, this can lead to your data being disclosed or altered in content, possibly even in countries without an adequate level of data protection. Moreover, personal data may also be transmitted over or to countries without an adequate level of data protection. Click & Power assumes no liability for direct or indirect damages resulting from such data transmissions.
