Taurus currently collects personal data mainly when a user voluntarily completes the contact form available on the website.

Depending on the fields available in the form, the following data may be collected:

first and last name;
email address;
telephone number, if provided;
company or organization name;
information contained in the submitted message;
any additional information voluntarily provided by the user.

Users are invited not to include sensitive information or personal data that is not necessary for handling the request.

3. Purposes of Processing

Data submitted through the contact form is used exclusively for purposes related to the user's request, in particular to:

respond to requests for information;
contact the user;
evaluate possible collaboration opportunities or commercial enquiries;
prepare information, offers or proposals requested by the user;
manage any subsequent communications directly related to the request received.

The data is not used to send newsletters or unsolicited promotional communications, unless a specific service is introduced in the future and the relevant information is provided.

4. Legal Basis and Principles of Processing

Personal data is processed in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, good faith, proportionality, transparency and security provided for by the applicable legislation.

Where the GDPR applies, data submitted through the contact form may be processed, depending on the circumstances, in order to:

take steps requested by the data subject prior to entering into a possible contract;
handle a user's request;
pursue Taurus's legitimate interest in communicating with potential Clients, Partners or persons interested in its services.

Consent is requested separately only where required by law or by the specific purpose of the processing.

5. Provision of Data

Providing personal data through the contact form is voluntary.

However, certain information may be necessary in order to identify the request and provide a response. If such information is not provided, Taurus may not be able to respond to or properly handle the request.

6. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for the time necessary to handle the request and any subsequent communications.

If the contact results in a commercial or contractual relationship, the relevant data may be retained for the period necessary to manage the relationship and subsequently for the period required by legal, administrative or tax obligations, or for the protection of Taurus's rights.

Requests that do not result in a commercial relationship are deleted or archived when they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were received.

7. Recipients and Technical Service Providers

Personal data is not sold to third parties.

For the operation of the website and the technical management of requests, certain data may be processed by technical service providers used by Taurus, for example for:

website hosting;
management of the technical infrastructure;
sending and receiving email communications;
system maintenance and security.

These providers may process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide their respective services and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms.

The website is currently created and hosted using services provided by Hostinger.

Email services associated with the Taurus domain are managed through Hostpoint.

If additional technical service providers are used in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

8. International Data Transfers

Certain technical service providers may have infrastructure or group companies located outside Switzerland.

Where personal data is transferred to countries outside Switzerland, Taurus adopts, where necessary, appropriate measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the applicable legislation.

The Swiss FADP also requires, where relevant, data subjects to be informed of the destination country and the safeguards applicable to the transfer.

9. Technical Data and Server Logs

During normal use of a website, the hosting provider and technical systems may automatically process certain technical information, such as:

IP address;
date and time of the request;
requested page;
browser and device used;
technical information relating to the connection;
logs required for the security and operation of the website.

This data is processed mainly to ensure the operation, stability and security of the website infrastructure.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies or technical technologies that are strictly necessary for its operation.

If analytics, marketing, profiling tools, maps, embedded videos, social plugins or other technologies that are not strictly necessary are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy and any consent management system will be updated accordingly.

Swiss law also requires users to be informed in an accessible and transparent manner about processing carried out through cookies and similar technologies.

11. Disclosure of Data

Taurus does not disclose personal data to third parties for independent commercial purposes.

Data may nevertheless be disclosed where necessary:

to technical service providers;
to consultants or professionals supporting Taurus;
to comply with legal obligations;
to protect the rights or legitimate interests of Taurus;
at the request of competent authorities in cases provided for by law.

12. Data Security

Taurus adopts reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or improper processing.

However, the transmission of data over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely risk-free.

13. Rights of Data Subjects

Within the limits provided by the applicable legislation, data subjects may request:

information about their personal data being processed;
access to the data;
rectification of inaccurate data;
deletion of the data;
restriction of processing;
objection to certain processing activities;
delivery or portability of the data, where applicable.

The Swiss FADP specifically recognizes the right to ask whether and which personal data is being processed and, where necessary, to request its rectification or deletion.

To protect the confidentiality of information, Taurus may request verification of the identity of the person making the request.
