Privacy Policy
As of September 1, 2023, the new Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) is in effect. For this reason, we have updated our privacy policy.
General Information
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Federal Government (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. Neighborhood Padel AG takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or the names of retrieved files, date, and time may be stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to you personally. Where personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis where possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
The following privacy policy informs you about the purposes of processing, recipients, legal bases, storage periods, your rights, and the responsible parties for your data processing. This privacy policy applies only to our website padeldistrict.ch. If you are redirected to other websites via links on our site, please inform yourself there about how your data is handled. We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Processing of Personal Data
Personal data includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is any person whose personal data is being processed. Processing refers to any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used—in particular, the storage, disclosure, collection, deletion, retention, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law (Data Protection Act, DSG). Where and to the extent the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(1) of the GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject or for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the applicable law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our commercial interest in being able to provide our website, ensuring information security, enforcing our legal claims, and complying with Swiss law.
We process personal data for as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose(s). If longer retention periods are required due to legal or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

If you wish to exercise this right to rectification, you may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time.
Right to Erasure
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request from the controller of this website the immediate deletion of personal data concerning them, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is no longer necessary:
The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing for reasons arising from their particular situation, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in the case of direct marketing and any related profiling.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of the personal data is required to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered directly to a child.
If one of the above reasons applies and you wish to request the deletion of personal data stored by the operator of this website, you may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time.

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing for reasons arising from their particular situation, and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate interests of the controller override those of the data subject.
If any of the above conditions are met, you may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time to request the restriction of processing of personal data stored by the operator of this website. The Data Protection Officer will arrange for the restriction to be implemented.
Right to Data Portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request that the personal data be transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that the rights and freedoms of others are not adversely affected.

Right to Object
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, at any time and for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them. In the event of an objection, the operator of this website will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. To exercise your right to object, you may contact the Data Protection Officer of this website directly.

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter (such as first name, last name, email address, and telephone number), will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent and will be deleted after the inquiry has been completed or, in the case of an ongoing business relationship, transferred to our database.
Comment Function
On our website, you have the option to comment on posts. When you submit a comment, we collect and store the data you enter in the input fields (e.g. last name, first name, email address). This data will not be shared with third parties.
Job Applications
The following provides information about the collection of personal data when submitting a job application. The personal data you provide is used exclusively for processing your application documents in the context of pre-contractual measures based on a voluntary submission. To process your application and provide a response, we require personal details such as name, first name, place of residence, date of birth, email address, and telephone number. No other data is collected, and the processing takes place in Switzerland.
If your application is not considered, the personal data will be deleted from our systems. In the event of a successful application and subsequent employment, the application documents will be stored in accordance with legal retention requirements.
Contractual Services
We process the data of our contractual partners and interested parties, as well as other clients, customers, or contracting parties (collectively referred to as “contractual partners”), in accordance with the data protection regulations of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), specifically Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, for the purpose of providing our contractual or pre-contractual services.
The type, scope, and purpose of the data processed, as well as the necessity of its processing, are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. The data processed includes basic data of our contractual partners (e.g. names and addresses), contact details (e.g. email addresses and telephone numbers), and contractual data (e.g. services used, contract contents, contract communication, names of contact persons).
As a rule, we do not process special categories of personal data unless they are part of a contractual or service-related obligation.
We process personal data that is necessary for the establishment and performance of contractual services and indicate when data must be shared, unless this is already apparent to the contractual partner. Data is only passed on to third parties when required to fulfill the contract.
When processing personal data entrusted to us in the context of a contract, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and in compliance with legal requirements.
Data is deleted when it is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations or for handling warranty claims or similar responsibilities. The necessity of retention is reviewed at regular intervals. In all other cases, statutory retention obligations apply.
Retention and Deletion of Personal Data
We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations, or for other purposes associated with the data processing—i.e. for the duration of the entire business relationship (from initiation to processing to termination of a contract) and beyond, in accordance with statutory retention and documentation obligations.
It is possible that personal data may be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted against Padel District AG, and as long as we are legally obliged or have a legitimate business interest (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes).
Once your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will, as a rule and where possible, be deleted or anonymized. Shorter retention periods—usually twelve months or less—generally apply to operational data (e.g. system logs, server logs).
Some tools on our site transmit data to US servers. Note: The USA is not deemed a “safe” third country under Swiss and EU law. US authorities may access personal data without recourse. We have no control over such access.
Data Transfers to Third Countries and the USA
If personal data is processed in or transferred to a third country, this is done strictly in compliance with legal requirements. A third country is defined as any country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). Unless there is explicit consent or the transfer is contractually or legally required, our company only processes your personal data in third countries that have an adequate level of data protection, are bound by EU or Swiss standard contractual clauses, or are certified under recognized frameworks.
Our website includes tools provided by companies based in the United States. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the servers of these companies in the USA.
We would like to point out that the USA is not considered a safe third country in the sense of Swiss data protection law and EU data protection regulations. U.S. companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities, and as a data subject, you may not have legal recourse against such access. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes on a long-term basis. We have no influence over these processing activities.
