Data Protection Policy

In this Data Protection Policy, A&B Invest Finance GmbH (hereinafter “A&B Invest”, “we” or “us”) explains how we collect, process, and safeguard personal data. This overview is not exhaustive; depending on the circumstances, additional provisions such as specific terms of business, participation rules, or supplementary data protection statements may also apply.

The term personal data means all information that identifies, or could reasonably identify, a natural person.

If you provide us with personal data of third parties (for example, family members, employees, or colleagues), you must ensure that these individuals are informed about this Data Protection Policy, and that you are authorized to share their information with us.

This policy complies with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) as well as, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Controller / Data Protection Contact

Unless stated otherwise, the “controller” responsible for data processing is:

A&B Invest Finance GmbH
Missionsstrasse 30
4055 Basel, Switzerland
Website: www.ab-invest.ch
Email: office@ab-invest.ch

For any inquiries or concerns relating to data protection, you may contact us using the details above.

If required under GDPR, our representative in the EU for data protection matters will be specified separately and may be contacted by supervisory authorities and data subjects regarding compliance with EU regulations.

2. Collection and Processing of Personal Data

We primarily collect and process personal data that we receive directly from our clients, business partners, or other individuals during the course of a business relationship, or through the use of our website and digital platforms.

Additionally, we may obtain information from publicly available sources (such as commercial registers, media, or official publications), or from third parties including service providers and authorities.

Categories of personal data we may process include, but are not limited to:

  • Contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number, email)

  • Identification and verification details (e.g., date of birth, nationality, ID numbers)

  • Financial information and account data, where required for contractual or regulatory purposes

  • Professional and employment-related information

  • Technical data related to the use of our website (e.g., IP address, device identifiers, cookies, access logs)

  • Data required for compliance with anti-money laundering, tax, or regulatory obligations

3. Transfer of Data and Cross-Border Disclosure

In connection with our business activities, we may transfer personal data to third parties when legally permitted or necessary. Such recipients may include:

  • Service providers (IT, hosting, compliance, or support providers)

  • Financial institutions and insurance companies

  • Regulatory authorities and supervisory bodies (e.g., FINMA, AOOS)

  • Legal representatives, courts, or public authorities

  • Business partners or subcontractors involved in providing services

  • Other parties where disclosure is required by law or justified by legitimate interests

Some recipients may be located abroad, including countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as Switzerland or the EU. In such cases, we ensure adequate safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses) or rely on legal exceptions such as consent, performance of a contract, or overriding public interest.

4. Retention of Data

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, or to protect our legitimate interests (e.g., for documentation or evidence purposes).
Once data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymized in accordance with applicable law.

5. Data Security

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure. These include encryption, secure IT systems, access controls, staff training, and regular monitoring of our data protection practices.

6. Obligation to Provide Data

Certain personal data is required for us to establish and maintain a business relationship, and for compliance with legal and regulatory duties. Without such information, we may not be able to provide services or enter into a contractual agreement.

7. Automated Decision-Making

As a rule, A&B Invest does not use fully automated decision-making processes (within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR). If such procedures are applied in specific cases, we will provide clear information and inform you of your rights in connection with such processing.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may amend this Data Protection Policy from time to time. Updates will be published on our website and take effect immediately upon posting.
