CAPOL believes that the responsible use of
personal information collected on its Web sites is critical to its business
objectives and reputation. As part of our commitment to privacy, we have
adopted this Online Privacy Statement.
The extent and type of information we
receive from you on our external Web sites depends on the information you
provide to us through our contact mailboxes and/or through the registration
processes on our sites.
We only use your personally identifiable
information to respond to your requests and to provide you with information
about our products and services, unless we obtain your permission to use your
personal information for other purposes. For example, if you send us an e-mail
message requesting information about CAPOL, we will use your e-mail
address and other information you supply to respond to your request. If we
intend to use your personal information to inform you about other CAPOL
products and services, we will notify you and give you an opportunity to
decline to receive such communications. If you send us a resume or curriculum
vitae (CV) to apply online for a position with CAPOL, we will use the
information provided to match you with available opportunities.
Some of our Web sites may invite you to
register and provide information about yourself. We use the information you
provide to personalize your online experience and to deliver the content most
suited to your needs. Such Web sites also provide an opportunity for you to
update your registration information should you no longer wish to receive
information from us.
In addition, "cookies" (i.e.
small text files placed on your computer when you first visit the site) are
used on some of our Web sites. Most browsers now recognize when a cookie is
offered and permit you to refuse or accept it. If you are not sure whether your
browser has this capability, you should check with the software manufacturer,
your company's technology help desk or your Internet service provider. Cookies
are primarily used to enhance your online experience and are not used to track
the navigational habits of identified visitors, unless we obtain your
permission to do so. If you visit our sites to read or download information,
such as updates, news, stories or articles, much of the information we do
collect is statistical only (e.g., the domain from which you access the
Internet, the date and time you access our site, and the Internet address of
the Web site from which you linked directly to our site) and not personally
identifiable. We use this information about the number of visitors and their
use of the sites in aggregate form to make our sites more useful and attractive
to you.
The personal information you provide to us
will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for
which the information was collected or as required by law. We do not share
personal information with third parties except as necessary to carry out our
business or as required by law or other legal processes, and we never sell your
personal information. Furthermore, personal data collected by CAPOL may
be transferred to other member firms of the CAPOL Group where it is
necessary to meet the purpose for which you have submitted the information. By
submitting data through CAPOL electronically, you are providing explicit
consent to trans-border transmission of data collected via CAPOL Web
sites.
In addition, CAPOL has technological
and operational security policies and procedures in place to protect your
personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration or
unintentional destruction. Our personnel who have access to the data have been
trained to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
CAPOL understands the importance of protecting
children's privacy, especially in an online environment. Our sites are not
intentionally designed for or directed at children under the age of 13 years.
It is our policy never to knowingly collect or maintain information about
anyone under the age of 13.
CAPOL recognizes its responsibility for protecting
the online privacy of your personal information. If you have questions or
comments about our administration of your personal information, please contact
us at info@capol.ch. You may also use this address
to communicate any concerns you may have regarding compliance with our Online
Privacy Policy.
