Privacy and Cookie Policy

Last updated: 18 July 2026

1. Who we are

Resilience Guard GmbH is the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

We are a Swiss advisory firm in business continuity, crisis management, cyber and operational resilience. Protecting information is our profession, and we apply that standard to your data.

2. What this policy covers

This is our single privacy and cookie policy. It applies to resilienceguard.ch and to the personal data we collect through this website, including contact and consultation requests, document download forms and the cookies described in section 10. It does not cover third party websites we link to.

3. The data we collect

Data you give us

When you contact us, book a consultation or unlock a document, we ask for: first name, surname, email address, organisation, job title, and where relevant phone number, country and the content of your message. We ask only for what identifies you in a professional context.

Data collected automatically

When you visit the site we receive technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, referring URL, the pages you visit and access timestamps. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described in section 10.

Sensitive data

We do not seek sensitive personal data (such as health data, religious or political views, or biometric data) through this website and ask you not to submit it. If a specific engagement ever required such data, we would process it only with your explicit consent or another valid legal basis.

4. Why we process your data, and on what legal basis

We process personal data under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• To respond to enquiries and deliver our services, on the basis of taking steps at your request before a contract and performing that contract.
• To provide gated documents and follow up about them, on the basis of your consent, given through the download form.
• To operate, secure and improve the website, on the basis of our legitimate interest in running a reliable and safe service.
• To send marketing communications you have opted into, on the basis of consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
• To meet legal obligations, such as accounting and record keeping duties under Swiss law.

5. How we share data

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal data. We share it only with:

• Service providers that host and support this website, our forms and our communications, bound by contract to process data only on our instructions and to protect it.
• Authorities, where disclosure is required by law or by a binding order.
• A successor organisation, if the firm undergoes a merger, acquisition or asset transfer, in which case your data remains protected under this policy or one at least as protective, and we will inform you of any change of controller.

6. International transfers

We store and process data primarily in Switzerland and the European Economic Area. If a service provider processes data elsewhere, we rely on an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

7. How long we keep data

We keep personal data only as long as the purpose it was collected for requires, and then delete or anonymise it. Where Swiss law imposes retention duties, for example on business records, we keep the affected data for the legally required period and no longer.

8. How we protect data

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, and we review these measures regularly. No transmission over the internet is entirely without risk, but we treat your data with the same discipline we advise our clients to apply to theirs.

9. Your rights

Subject to the conditions in the FADP and, where applicable, the GDPR, you may:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you
• Request rectification of inaccurate data and erasure of data we no longer need
• Request restriction of processing, or object to processing based on legitimate interest
• Receive the data you provided in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe option or by writing to us. Service messages, such as replies to your own enquiry, are not marketing.

To exercise any right, write to [email protected]. We respond within the statutory deadlines. You may also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, if you are in the EU or EEA, to your local supervisory authority.
