4. Cookies / Tracking 

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser. It may include your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other details about your visit. Please be aware that while this information may not be personally identifying by itself, it may be possible to use it in the event of attacks on our IT infrastructure or other possibly unauthorized or abusive use of our website and applications/software for the purpose of clarification and defense and, if necessary, in the context of criminal proceedings for identification and for civil and criminal proceedings against the persons. 

We typically use „cookies“ on our websites and applications/software, which allow for an identification of your browser or device. A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your computer and automatically saved by the web browser on your computer or mobile device, when you visit our website or install our applications/software. If you revisit our website or use our applications/software, we may recognize you, even if we do not know your identity. Besides cookies that are only used during a session and deleted after your visit of the website („session cookies“), we may use cookies in order to save user configurations and other information for a certain time period (e.g., two years) („permanent cookies“). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may configure your browser settings in a way that it rejects cookies, only saves them for one session or deletes them prematurely. Most browsers are preset to accept cookies. We use permanent cookies for the purpose of saving user configuration (e.g., language, automated log in), in order to understand how you use our services and content. Certain cookies are sent to you from us, others from business partners with which we collaborate. If you block cookies, it is possible that certain functions (such as, e.g., language settings) are no longer available to you.  

We currently use the following service providers and advertising partners: 

• CookieYes: CookieYes Limited of 3 Warren Yard Warren Park, Wolverton Mill, Milton Keynes, MK12 5NW, United Kingdom, is the provider of our Consent Management Platform (CMP). We use CookieYes to obtain and document your consent for the use of certain cookies and similar technologies. When you visit our website, a technically necessary cookie is set to store your consent choices or any withdrawal thereof. We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with CookieYes: https://www.cookieyes.com/dpa.  

5. In accordance with applicable law, we may include visible and invisible image files in our newsletters and other marketing e-mails. If such image files are retrieved from our servers, we can determine whether and when you have opened the e-mail, so that we can measure and better understand how you use our offers and customize them. You may disable this in your e-mail program, which will usually be a default settingSocial Networks 

We may operate pages and other online presences («fan pages», «channels», «profiles», etc.) on social networks and other platforms operated by third parties and collect the data about you. We receive this data from you and from the platforms when you interact with us through our online presence (for example when you communicate with us, comment on our content or visit our online presence). At the same time, the platforms analyze your use of our online presences and combine this data with other data they have about you (for example about your behavior and preferences). They also process this data for their own purposes, in particular for marketing and market research purposes (for example to personalize advertising) and to manage their platforms (for example what content they show you) and, to that end, they act as separate controllers.  

We process this data for the purposes set out in Section 3, in particular for communication, for marketing purposes (including advertising on these platforms) and for market research. We may disseminate content published by you (for example comments on an announcement), for example as part of our advertising on the platform or elsewhere. We or the operators of the platforms may also delete or restrict content from or about you in accordance with their terms of use (for example inappropriate comments).  

For further information on the processing of the platform operators, please refer to the privacy information of the relevant platforms. There you can also find out about the countries where they process your data, your rights of access and erasure of data and other data subjects rights and how you can exercise them or obtain further information. We currently use the following platforms: 

• We have a profile on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/qnomx. The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Dublin, Ireland. You can find more information on the data protection in their data protection declaration. Some of your data may be transferred to the US. The processing of LinkedIn can be objected to here. Further settings can be made via the objection form. In connection with the operation of our LinkedIn profile, we use LinkedIn Page Analytics. We thus receive information about the use of our content. It helps us understand how our page is used and how to improve it. We have agreed our data protection responsibilities according to the joint controller addendum. 

6. Data Transfers 

In the context of our business activities and in line with the purposes of the data processing set out in Section 3, we may transfer data to third parties, insofar as such a transfer is permitted and we deem it appropriate, in order for them to process data for us or, as the case may be, their own purposes. In particular, the following categories of recipients may be concerned: 

• our service providers (externally, such as e.g. banks, insurances, fiduciaries), including processors (such as e.g. IT providers, in particular through Application Programming Interfaces [APIs], login service providers, cloud storage service providers, newsletter providers, CRM software); 

• dealers, suppliers, subcontractors and other business partners (such as lab providers, hospitals, bioinformatic companies, EHR/EMR/LIMS provider, doctors);  

• customers;  

• domestic and foreign authorities or courts;  

• the media; 

• the public, including users of our websites and social media;  

• competitors, industry organizations, associations, organizations and other bodies; 

• acquirers or parties interested in the acquisition of business divisions, companies; 

• other parties in possible or pending legal proceedings. 

together Recipients.  

7. Transfer of Data Abroad 

Certain Recipients may be within Switzerland but they may be located in any country worldwide. In particular, you must anticipate your data to be transmitted to other countries in Europe, the European Economic Area (EEA) and the USA where some our service providers are located. Some of our service providers use sub-processors that can be located in any country worldwide. 

If a recipient is located in a country without adequate statutory data protection, we require the recipient to undertake to comply with data protection (for this purpose, we use the revised European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, which can be accessed here), unless the recipient is subject to a legally accepted set of rules to ensure data protection and unless we cannot rely on an exception. An exception may apply for example in case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interest or if the performance of a contract requires disclosure, if you have consented or if data has been made available generally by you and you have not objected against the processing. 

8. Retention Periods for your Personal Data

We process and retain your personal data as long as required for the performance of our contractual obligation and compliance with legal obligations or other purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation, during the performance of the contract until it is terminated) as well as beyond this duration in accordance with legal retention and documentation obligations. Personal data may be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted against our company or insofar as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or if legitimate business interests require further retention (e.g., for evidence and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, they will be deleted or anonymized, to the extent possible. In general, shorter retention periods of no more than twelve months apply for operational data (e.g., system logs). Application documents are being deleted after four months. 

9. Data Security 

We take appropriate security measures in order to maintain the required security of your personal data and ensure its confidentiality, integrity and availability, and to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful processing, and to mitigate the risk of loss, accidental alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access. 

10. Obligation to Provide Personal Data to Us 

In the context of our business relationship you must provide us with any personal data that is necessary for the conclusion and performance of a business relationship and the performance of our contractual obligations (as a rule, there is no statutory requirement to provide us with data). Without this information, we will usually not be able to enter into or carry out a contract with you (or the entity or person you represent). In addition, the website cannot be used unless certain information is disclosed to enable data traffic (e.g. IP address).  

11. Profiling and Automated Individual Decision-Making 

We may partially process your personal data automatically with the aim of evaluating certain personal aspects (profiling). In particular, profiling allows us to inform and advise you about products possibly relevant for you more accurately. For this purpose, we may use evaluation tools that enable us to communicate with you and advertise you as required, including market and opinion research. 

In establishing and carrying out a business relationship, we generally do not use any fully automated individual decision-making. Should we use such procedures in certain cases, we will inform you separately on this and advise you of your relevant rights if required by law. 

12. Artificial Intelligence 

Our Qnomx solution contains AI that may process your personal data for interpretation and streamlined genomic insights. You or your company may be considered the controller with regard to the processing of personal data when using Qnomx as you or your company determine/s the purpose and means of such processing. We might process the personal data as processor in which case we will provide you with a data processing agreement. 

In order to develop and improve the AI underlying Qnomx, we train only on anonymized data. 

We store all data on Swiss and/or EU/EEA servers. 

13. Your Rights  

In accordance with and as far as provided by applicable law, you have the right to 

• access; 

• rectification; 

• erasure of your personal data; 

• restriction of processing; 

• object to our data processing; 

• withdraw consent; 

• receive certain personal data for transfer to another controller (data portability).  

Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce statutory restrictions on our part, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have an overriding interest (insofar as we may invoke such interests) or need the data for asserting claims. If exercising certain rights will incur costs on you, we will notify you thereof in advance. Please further note that the exercise of these rights may be in conflict with your contractual obligations and this may result in consequences such as premature contract termination or involve costs. If this is the case, we will inform you in advance unless it has already been contractually agreed upon.  

In general, exercising these rights requires that you are able to prove your identity (e.g., by a copy of identification documents where your identity is not evident otherwise or can be verified in another way). In order to assert these rights, please contact us at the addresses provided in Section 1 above.  

In addition, every data subject has the right to enforce his/her rights in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority of Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch). You can find a list of authorities in the EEA here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
