Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Qantara Capital GmbH (“Qantara Capital”, “we”, “us”) processes personal data in connection with this website. We are committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor and to handling personal data in accordance with the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP), in force since 1 September 2023, and — where applicable to visitors from the European Union — the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Data Controller
The controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website is:
Qantara Capital GmbH
Baarerstrasse 137, 6302 Zug, Switzerland
Handelsregister-Nr.: CH-170.4.018.575-0
Email: [email protected]
2. Personal Data We Process
We process only the personal data necessary to operate this website and respond to enquiries.
a) Server log data
When you visit this website, our hosting provider automatically collects certain technical information transmitted by your browser, including IP address, user-agent string, referring URL, date and time of access. This data is kept in server logs for security and diagnostic purposes and is not used to identify individual visitors.
b) Contact form submissions
If you contact us through the form on our homepage, we receive the data you submit — typically your name, company, email address, and the content of your message. The form uses your own email client to send the message; the data is therefore transmitted to us as an ordinary email.
c) Direct correspondence
If you contact us by email or other means, we receive the data contained in your communication and process it to respond to your request.
3. Purposes & Legal Bases
- Responding to enquiries — to communicate with you and process your request. Legal basis: revFADP Art. 31(2)(a); GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and (f).
- Operating and securing the website — to provide the site, ensure its availability, and protect against misuse. Legal basis: legitimate interest under revFADP Art. 31; GDPR Art. 6(1)(f).
- Complying with legal obligations — including record-keeping and responses to lawful requests by authorities. Legal basis: revFADP Art. 31(1); GDPR Art. 6(1)(c).
4. Recipients of Personal Data
We do not sell or rent personal data. We share personal data only with carefully selected service providers acting on our instructions — in particular our website hosting provider — and only to the extent necessary to provide the website. These providers are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
5. International Transfers
Personal data is processed in Switzerland and the European Economic Area. We do not currently transfer personal data outside these jurisdictions. Should this change in the future, we will ensure that an adequate level of protection is in place, including through Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.
6. Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above, or as required by law. Contact-form and correspondence data are typically retained for up to twelve (12) months following the conclusion of our communication, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Server log data is retained for a short technical period only.
7. Cookies
This website uses only strictly necessary cookies required for its basic operation (such as session and security cookies set by the underlying WordPress platform). We do not use analytics, marketing or tracking cookies. Should this change in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated and, where required, your consent will be requested.
8. Your Rights
Subject to the conditions set out in the applicable law, you have the right to:
- request information about the personal data we hold about you;
- request that inaccurate personal data be corrected;
- request the deletion of your personal data;
- object to certain processing activities;
- request restriction of processing;
- receive your personal data in a portable format (where applicable under GDPR);
- withdraw any consent you may have given, with effect for the future.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority — in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC, edoeb.admin.ch); in the EU, the supervisory authority of your country of residence.
9. Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as fully secure.
10. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The current version is always available on this page; the “Last updated” date at the top indicates when it was most recently revised.
