Legal information
Data protection
Introduction
Lamprecht Leadership Consultants AG ("LLCAG" or "we") places a high value on the protection of your data and the preservation of your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we handle your personal data when we support you in the context of a collaboration, maintain the relationship with you after we have found you a job, for example, provide a service for you or you provide a service for us, use your personal data to ask you for support in connection with one of our candidates, or when you visit our website.
This privacy policy applies to the personal data of visitors to our website (www.llcag.com) and subdomains in the format subdomain.llcag.com, our mandate agreement, our general terms and conditions, and thus also to candidates, clients and other persons with whom we may contact to learn more about our candidates.
01 Contact address
If you would like further information on data protection, please contact our data protection officer by email:
Siegfried Lamprecht
Lamprecht Leadership Consultants AG
Wyssenfluhstrasse 11
8832 Wollerau a. Zürichsee
Switzerland
When you contact the provider (for example, via the contact form or by email), your information is saved in order to process your enquiry as well to answer any possible follow-up questions.
02 Processing personal data
02.1 Consent for the processing of personal data requiring special protection
Personal data requiring special protection is subject to stricter data protection regulations. That is why we need your explicit consent in order to be able to use it. We would ask you to please provide your consent in advance. This means that you must explicitly and unambiguously inform us that you agree to our processing this personal data. This is undertaken via a declaration of consent, which candidates will receive electronically after submitting their dossier. The processing of particularly sensitive personal data will only take place after receipt of the declaration of consent.
We treat as particularly sensitive personal data, for example, your candidate profile as a whole, along with individual pieces of information that require more sensitive treatment due to their private nature, such as your CV, education, certificates and diplomas, professional experience, references, skills, hobbies, emergency contacts, residence status, or financial and credit data.
In addition, the legally defined categories of sensitive data also apply, of course, insofar as we collect or receive these from you, such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical convictions or trade union membership, as well as genetic data, biometric data for unique identification, health data or data on sex life or sexual orientation, along with data on criminal convictions and offences.
Personal data that is particularly worthy of protection is only collected by LLCAG with your express consent, which is always obtained directly from you.
02.2 Personal data via the website
We only collect the following data as part of your visit to our website and any enquiry you may have made:
a) All information that you explicitly provide in the context of a enquiry (name, address, age, gender, contact details, etc.)
b) IP address and referrer URL (the previously visited page)
c) Browser version and browser type used
d) Date and time of the visit or enquiry
e) Operating system and provider
Cookies that we use on our website can be found at the end of this privacy policy under the heading "Cookies".
We do not carry out profiling on our website in the sense of automated processing of personal data, which consists of using this data to evaluate certain personal aspects of you (e.g., for analyses or forecasts regarding work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, whereabouts or change of location), and we collect or process particularly sensitive personal data (e.g., religious, political or ideological views, state of health, etc.) only in exceptional cases and limited to contractual or legal obligations.
02.3 Personal data of candidates
We only request information that will help us to place you better and more efficiently, or that arises in the course of a customer order. This includes general personal data, but also personal data that is considered to be particularly worthy of protection.
02.4 Personal data of customers
If you are a customer of LLCAG, we need to collect and process personal data about you or persons within your organisation in order to provide services to you.
In general, we only need your contact details or the contact details of individual contact persons within your organisation (such as their names, telephone numbers and email addresses) to ensure an efficient business relationship
02.5 Personal data of persons provided by candidates, customers or employees for further information
We only ask for very basic personal data so that we can contact you for a reference or get in touch with you because you have been named as a contact of one of our candidates or employees.
To ask someone for a reference, we need the personal data of the contact person for references (such as name, email address and telephone number). We also need these details if our candidate or one of our employees has named you as an emergency contact, so that we can notify you in the event of an accident or emergency.
03 Use of personal data
Your personal data is processed exclusively in the factual context of the initiation, maintenance and processing of
a) an enquiry you have submitted;
b) a client mandate;
c) a job placement; or
d) for internal statistical purposes.
04 Disclosure to third parties
The processing of your personal data on the website is carried out exclusively in the factual context of a request made by you, to correct errors or to improve our website or our internal data processing tools, as well as for internal statistical purposes if necessary.
Your data shall not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent. Exempt from this are our service partners, who we require to fulfil the contractual relationship (e.g., financial institutions for the processing of payments, the postal service, courier services or freight forwarders for the delivery of material, cloud services for the provision and guarantee of the digital infrastructure, etc.). In these cases, we strictly observe the requirements of the applicable data protection laws. The amount of data transferred is kept to a minimum.
We will only use service partners in countries other than Switzerland or member states of the European Economic Area if the country in question either has an equivalent level of data protection according to the list of countries of the Federal Council or if we can ensure the equivalence of the level of protection by contract (e.g., by contracts or the conclusion of so-called standard contract clauses).
05. Messages, notifications and updates
Advertising communications: We may send you marketing communications relating to our website, services and products, and to products we offer jointly with our partners, as well as to products and services from third parties, via various communication channels such as email, text message, pop-ups, push notifications and messaging applications. You can opt out of this advertising by following the instructions contained in the communications you receive from us. You can also opt out of receiving advertising at any time with effect for the future by sending an email to info@llcag.com.
Communication for information and other purposes: We will send you messages that are necessary or necessary for all customers, notifications that contain important information, and other messages that you request from us. You cannot opt out of these communications. However, you may be able to customise the media and format through which you receive these notifications.
06. Cookies
06.1 General information about cookies
Cookies are small text files or pieces of information that are stored on your computer or mobile device (such as a smartphone or tablet) when you use our services. A cookie usually contains the name of the website/application from which it originates, the duration of the cookie (i.e., how long the cookie will remain on your device), and a value that is usually a randomly generated, unique number.
We use cookies to make our services more user-friendly and to tailor our services and products to your interests and needs. Cookies are able to do this because our services can read these files. This enables our services to recognise you and remember important information that makes your use of our services more user-friendly (e.g., by remembering preference settings).
Cookies can also be used to help speed up your future activities and your future user experience with our services. We also use cookies to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our services and help us improve the structure and content of our digital media.
The maximum storage time of cookies after they have been placed on the user terminal for the first time is as required by applicable law.
06.2 Types of Cookies
The types of cookies we use are session cookies, persistent cookies, first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
Persistent cookies are used to store your login information and remember your settings for future logins to our services. A persistent cookie is a cookie that is stored as a file on your computer and remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the services that created it when you visit these services again.
Session ID cookies are used to enable certain functions on our services, to better understand how you interact with our services, and to monitor aggregated user data and web traffic routing. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are removed from your computer when you close your browser. Typically, session ID cookies store an anonymous session identifier on your computer that allows you to use a service without having to log in each time you click.
First-party cookies are our own cookies that we use to improve your user experience. They are linked to a user's personal information. Third parties do not have access to the information we collect through our own cookies.
Third-party cookies are cookies that are placed on our services by third-party companies in order to provide services, including advertising cookies. Third-party companies place third-party cookies on your device on our behalf when you visit our services to enable these third-party companies to perform the services they provide. In addition to the information in this privacy policy, you will find further information on these third-party cookies in the privacy policies of these third-party companies.
Below is a list of the different types of cookies that we use on our services.
06.3 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are cookies that are strictly necessary for our services to work and to use their functions. Without these strictly necessary cookies, our services would not function as smoothly as you would like, and we may not be able to provide the website or certain services or features that you request.
We also use technical cookies that allow our services to remember the choices you have made (such as your username, language or region) for customisation and personalisation purposes. These cookies do not collect information about you that could be used for advertising or remember where you've been on the internet.
We set the following first-party cookies (all of which are persistent cookies):
Device identifier cookie: We install cookies on your computer that recognise you and tell the website or service that you are logged in.
User local cookie: We install cookies that are used to remember certain local selections you have made, such as language preferences.
Privacy visibility cookies: We install cookies on your computer that indicate whether you have been informed about the use of cookies and how we handle your data and your rights in connection with your data by means of a banner message that pops up. They also indicate whether you have given your consent to the use of cookies so that the banner does not reappear each time you visit a page. These cookies are necessary for the operation of our services, and therefore you cannot object to the use of these cookies.
06.4 Analytical cookies and cookies for marketing, profiling and retargeting
Google Analytics (persistent third-party cookies): The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our site.
The usage and user-related information that is collected includes, for example, IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website. We use IP anonymisation for the use of Google tools. This addition shortens the last digits of your IP address before it is permanently stored on Google servers. This means that Google's technical and analytical services will continue to work properly, but you will no longer be fully traceable and will therefore have a higher degree of anonymity in terms of your surfing behaviour than without IP anonymisation.
We also use the remarketing function as part of the Google Analytics range of services. This allows us to display personalised advertising to you on other websites, based on your interests on our website. This option is limited to a maximum of 18 months. Retargeting enables us to place ads that are as relevant as possible to you and to measure the efficiency and reach of the advertising media, but also to check the invoices of our advertising partners for placed campaigns.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and what visitors do once there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and of the internet in general.
Google states that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides further information on data protection for you, including, for example, options for preventing the use of data.
In addition, Google offers a deactivation add-on and further information about that. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. Whether and which other web analysis services are used by us is of course also explained in this privacy policy.
Alternatively, you can disable Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to our site in the future. To do this, you as the webmaster must refer to the cookie on the data protection page and also integrate the aforementioned script into the source code. The link below will only work if the code comes before the actual Google Analytics script.
Clicking on the link sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the analysis of your visit to our site in the future.
<a onclick=“alert(‚Google Analytics wurde deaktiviert‘);“ href=“javascript:gaOptout()“>Disable Google Analytics</a>
Please be aware that, should you delete cookies from your browser settings, the opt-out cookie may also be deleted and will need to be reactivated.
Additional information can be found in Google's developer documentation.
Google will in no case connect your IP address to other data saved by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies. To do this, you have to select "do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
Google AdWords with conversion tracking (persistent third-party cookies)
We use conversion tracking to provide targeted advertising of our site. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our site.
If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking we use stores a cookie on your device. These conversion cookies expire after 30 days and do not otherwise identify you personally. If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page of our website, both we and Google can evaluate that you clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and that you were then forwarded to our website.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and what visitors do once there. In addition, we receive information about the number of users who clicked on our advertisement(s) as well as about the pages on our site that are subsequently visited. Neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords will be able to identify you from this conversion tracking.
Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found at this link.
07. Social media
07.1 General Information
We are present on social media and other online platforms to communicate with interested parties and to provide information about our activities and operations. The legal basis is your and our legitimate interest in exchanging views with each other in this way.
We have only limited influence on the data processing carried out by the platform operators (e.g., administration of members and shared information). We reserve the right to delete content, if necessary. In those areas where we can exert influence, we are working within the scope of the options available to us to ensure that the platform operator handles data protection in a manner that is appropriate. In many cases, however, we have no influence over the data processing carried out by the platform operator, nor do we know exactly what data the operator processes.
The platform operator manages the entire IT infrastructure of the service, maintains its own data protection provisions, and has its own user relationship with you (provided you are a registered user of the social network). In addition, the operator is solely responsible for all questions regarding the data in your user profile, to which we as a company have no access.
Please note that the operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Web tracking, over which we have no influence, can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. More details about the data processing by the provider of the social media platform can be found in the privacy policy of the respective provider:
LinkedIn: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?
When you use the platform, your personal data is usually also processed by the respective platform operator on servers in third countries, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom.
07.2 Privacy policy for LinkedIn
We use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn, operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (‘LinkedIn’), within our online offering.
These services use cookies, i.e., text files that are stored on your computer. This enables us to analyse your use of the website. This allows us, for example, to measure the success of our ads and show users products that they have previously shown an interest in.
This means that information such as the operating system and browser, the website you visited before ours (referrer URL), which of our web pages you visit, which offers you click on, and the date and time of your visit to our website are recorded.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by LinkedIn on servers in the United States. LinkedIn does not store the name or email address of the respective user. The above data is only assigned to the party for whom the cookie was generated. This does not apply if the user has allowed LinkedIn to process data without pseudonymisation or has a LinkedIn account.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also object to the use of your data directly on LinkedIn by using the following
Third-party information: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2 Ireland; User Agreement and Privacy Policy.
08. Transmission of personal data
The transmission of the data entered via the contact form from your computer to the server is encrypted. The data entered in the contact form will not be stored on your computer (no cookie, etc.). Despite encryption, it is not possible to achieve absolute security. The server forwards the data you entered in the contact form by email for processing. These emails are not encrypted. The use of emails is not technically secure; it is possible that emails will not be delivered. When emails are sent, they may leave the country's borders, even if both the sender and recipient are in the country. The confidentiality of emails cannot be guaranteed if the encryption is insufficient or non-existent. Unencrypted emails are therefore not suitable for sending confidential information.
By using the contact form or sending an email, you consent to communication by email, having been made aware of the described risks. The use of encrypted or otherwise secured communication channels must be agreed with us in advance.
09. Retention of your personal data
09.1 Server location
Host Europe operates its servers in France (Strasbourg), which means that the personal data stored on them is legally protected by the strict requirements of the GDPR.
9.2 Retention period
We only store your data for as long as that is legally necessary or in accordance with the purpose of the processing. When analysing data, we store your data until the analysis is complete. If we store data on the basis of a contractual relationship with you, this data will remain stored for at least as long as the contractual relationship exists and at the latest for as long as we have limitation periods for possible claims or statutory or contractual retention obligations. As a rule, the retention period does not exceed 10 years (calculated from the end of the contractual or de facto relationship with you).
10. Information, correction, transfer
You have the right to request information about your stored data and the right to correct it at any time and at no cost. Please contact us for more information. Our contact details can be found in section 01 of this privacy policy.
You also have the right to request the transfer of your electronically available personal data to another data controller free of charge. Please note, however, that we cannot adapt your data to any special formatting requirements of another responsible party and under no circumstances can we transfer your business history or passwords.
11. Revocation and cancellation
You may revoke your consent to this privacy policy at any time, in whole or in part, or for certain purposes or with respect to certain parties, and request the deletion of your personal data. Please contact us for more information. Our contact details can be found in section 01 of this privacy policy.
Your personal data will be automatically deleted after five years, provided that there is no contractual relationship or legal obligation that would justify or require the storage or processing of the personal data. To ensure that your personal data is up to date and correct, we will update it every two years by contacting you.
If a contractual relationship is still pending at the time of receipt of your revocation and request for deletion, your personal data will continue to be processed until the contract has been fully executed. Your data protection-related revocation expressly has no influence on the processing of existing contractual relationships and does not constitute an extraordinary reason for termination.
In the event of a request for deletion, we will delete your personal data. Please note, however, that we are obliged under commercial and tax law to keep accounting records for at least 10 financial years. That means we can neither delete nor edit the personal data contained in these documents. Your request for deletion therefore applies only to future processing and only to personal data that we do not process on the basis of a legal justification, but only with your consent. We also reserve the right to comply with any legal data retention requirements.
12. Complaint to a supervisory authority
With the entry into force of the revised Data Protection Act (DSG) (as of 1 September 2023), you have the right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority at the data controller's registered office if you believe that we have violated a provision of the DSG.
The Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (www.edoeb.admin.ch) is responsible for complaints from data subjects.
13. Amendments to this privacy policy
Amendments to this privacy policy are valid from the time of their publication on our website. Personal data collected under an older privacy policy will be processed in accordance with this privacy policy.
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time and to inform customers of the changes in an appropriate manner.
