We collect information that you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you register for an account, request information about our training or consulting services, enrol in a course, participate in interactive features of our site, communicate with us via online forms, or otherwise use our services. The types of information we may collect include your name, contact details (excluding electronic contacts as per this policy's presentation), professional information, payment information, and any other information you choose to provide.
We may also automatically collect certain information about your use of our site. This includes technical information such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. We may also collect information about how you interact with our site, such as the links you click and the searches you conduct.
Use of Information
We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, such as to process transactions, manage your account, respond to your inquiries, and communicate with you about our services. We may also use the information to develop new services, study and analyse usage and trends, personalise your experience on our site, and detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities and protect the rights and property of Helvetic Skills AG and others.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data based on several legal grounds, including:
* Your consent, where required and obtained.
* The necessity to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
* Compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
* Our legitimate interests, such as improving our services, communicating with you about services you might be interested in, and ensuring the security of our platform, provided that these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
Sharing of Information
We may share your information with third parties under certain circumstances. This includes sharing information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, and customer service. These service providers are authorised to use your personal data only as necessary to provide these services to us.
We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend the rights or property of Helvetic Skills AG, or protect the personal safety of users of the site or the public.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period is determined based on the nature and purpose of the data collection, legal obligations, and business needs.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data.
