Legal bases for processing

Processing of personal data is undertaken on one or more lawful grounds depending on the activity. Where required, we rely on consent, contract necessity, legitimate interests or legal obligations.

  • Performance of a contract: processing necessary to provide coaching services you have requested and to perform contractual obligations.
  • Legal obligation: processing required to comply with tax, accounting, or other statutory obligations applicable to ElevRShift.
  • Legitimate interests: processing for security, fraud prevention and internal business administration when those interests are balanced against individual rights.
  • Consent: where we ask for explicit consent for optional activities such as marketing communications or session recordings; you may withdraw consent at any time.

Security

Protecting personal information is a core operational requirement. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data and the nature of the processing. Access to client information is restricted to authorized personnel and trusted service providers under contractual confidentiality obligations.

  • Encryption of data in transit using TLS and encryption at rest where feasible for backups and stored records.
  • Role-based access controls, logging and regular reviews of access rights for staff and contractors.
  • Regular data protection assessments, patch management and secure configuration of cloud services.

Data sharing and disclosure

Sharing of personal data is strictly limited to purposes required for service delivery, legal compliance or where you have given explicit consent. Shared data is minimized and subject to contractual and security controls.

  • Service providers: cloud hosting, secure file storage, analytics vendors and payment processors acting under instruction and confidentiality terms.
  • Professional advisors: accountants, legal counsel or auditors engaged to support ElevRShift operations, where necessary.
  • Regulatory or law enforcement bodies when disclosure is required by law or to respond to legal process.
  • Prospective buyers or advisers in connection with a sale, merger or reorganization, with appropriate confidentiality safeguards.
  • Client-designated third parties when you instruct us to share information for the purpose of coordinated advisory work.
  • Aggregated or anonymized data may be shared for research or service improvement without identifying individuals.

International transfers

Personal data may be transferred to service providers or partners located outside Switzerland. Transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable law and appropriate safeguards to protect personal data are implemented.

We rely on contractual safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements and other export-compliant measures. Where transfers are made to jurisdictions without an adequacy decision, additional safeguards are put in place.

Data retention

Retention periods reflect the business need to provide services, maintain records required by law, and support legitimate business activities. Data is retained only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected.

Client account records, contracts and billing documentation are generally retained for a minimum period required by Swiss tax and accounting rules, typically seven years, unless a shorter period is legally permissible or the record is no longer needed.

Communications and meeting notes are retained for the duration of the engagement and afterward for a reasonable archival period aligned with professional recordkeeping practices, then securely deleted when no longer required.

Technical and security logs are kept for the time necessary to detect and contribute incidents and to comply with operational and legal requirements, after which they are purged or anonymized.

When personal data is no longer necessary, we securely delete or anonymize it. Clients may request deletion of certain personal data subject to legal or contractual limitations.

Your rights

Individuals have a set of rights concerning their personal data. We provide mechanisms to exercise these rights in a timely and verifiable manner. Some rights may be subject to limitations under law or to retention obligations.

  • Access: the right to request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification: the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Erasure: the right to request deletion of personal data where there is no overriding legal or contractual reason to retain it.
  • Restriction: the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
  • Data portability: where applicable, the right to receive personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • Objection: the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
  • Withdrawal of consent: the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting processing prior to withdrawal.
  • Complaint: the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider your rights have been violated.

GDPR and cross-border compliance

Although ElevRShift is based in Switzerland, we recognize the relevance of the EU General Data Protection Regulation for individuals in the European Economic Area. When GDPR applies, we align our practices with its principles and respect the rights it affords data subjects.

  • We collect only the personal data necessary to deliver executive coaching services: contact details, professional background, engagement records and billing information.
  • Data retention is limited to the duration required for contract fulfilment, legal obligations and reasonable business needs; we apply regular reviews to remove outdated records.
  • Personal data is processed under lawful bases relevant to service provision, legitimate business interest in client relationship management, and compliance with Swiss law.
  • Access to personal data is restricted to authorized ElevRShift staff and accredited external partners under data processing agreements and confidentiality obligations.
  • We implement technical and organizational measures proportionate to risks, including encrypted storage, access controls, and secure communication channels for coaching sessions and documents.
  • You may exercise rights to access, rectify, restrict processing, object to processing, or request erasure where applicable under Swiss data protection regulations; requests are handled promptly and documented.

For matters related to data protection oversight in Switzerland, clients may consult the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) and are informed of their right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Marketing Communications

ElevRShift uses client contact details to share relevant insights, research summaries, event invitations and service updates related to growth-oriented economic coaching for executives. Communications are tailored for senior leaders and focus on evidence-based practices, regulatory changes affecting corporate strategy in Switzerland, and practical tools for scaling organizational performance. Frequency is kept purposeful and limited to professional updates aligned with your expressed preferences.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time via the unsubscribe link in email messages or by contacting us. Unsubscribe requests are processed promptly and will not affect operational communications related to active coaching engagements.
