This privacy policy will explain how our Company uses your personal data when you use our website. By using our website, you consent to our practices outlined in this privacy policy.
Please read this policy and make sure you fully understand our practices in relation to your personal information before you access or use any of our websites or services. If you remain opposed to any of our practices that we explain below, you must immediately leave and discontinue all use of our websites or services.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact us via the details provided for below.
Topics in this privacy policy:
Our Company collects the following data that you submit:

When our Company processes your order, it may send your data to, and also use the resulting information from, credit reference agencies to prevent fraudulent purchases
We may share personal information internally within our family of companies for the purposes described in this privacy policy.
Also, should our Company or any of its affiliates undergo any change in control, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all of its assets, your personal information may be shared with the parties involved in such event. If we believe that such change in control might materially affect your personal information stored with us, we will notify you via e-mail and/or prominent notice on our website of this event and certain choices you may have regarding your personal information.
We will only use your personal information for the purposes set out above where we are satisfied that use of your personal information is necessary to:
With clients across North America, Europe and globally, we understand that data protection is very important to all of our clients and their users. As a Swiss company, Switzerland’s privacy regulations generally govern our conduct.
Our Company uses credible, third party providers to securely store your data in Canada, the United States of America, the European Union, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and in other jurisdictions as necessary for the delivery of our services, to provide support and/or as may be required by law.
By providing any information to our Company, all clients and users, including those in the member states of the European Union, fully understand and unambiguously consent to the collection, storage, and processing of their information in the above countries or other countries in which our employees, contractors and suppliers may be located.
Our Company’s affiliates and service providers that store or process your personal information are contractually committed to keep this information protected and secured in accordance with industry standards and regardless of any lesser legal requirements which may apply in their jurisdiction.
Switzerland is one of the few countries for which the EU Commission has issued a decision of adequacy (Decision 2000/518/EC). This means that the EU Commission has concluded that Swiss law provides adequate protection for the protection of personal data of EU data subjects and that, as a Swiss company, our Company is already subject to data protection laws that provide for similar standards as existing European laws.
Thus, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) apply to both our Company and its users within the European Union, but in different ways.
The GDPR distinguishes between organisations that are “data processors” and those that are “data controllers.” Our Company is a “data processor” of content generated or stored via its platform. As such, our Company only processes content in accordance with the instructions our clients and users give us through our services. Because our clients and their users control how their content is collected and used by them, our clients and their users are the “data controllers” of the content that they process through our platform.
Because we use credible, third-party providers with whom we store our clients’ and their users’ data, we have in place with them GDPR-compliant data processing agreements or they are appropriately certified. For example, your data related to our website is stored with Wix.com. Wix is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. Please see click here for Wix’ privacy and GDPR policies for more information. To learn more about the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield website.
In addition, our Company makes available a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) for GDPR to help its clients comply with the GDPR. Our GDPR DPA is available to all clients on request. If you would like to incorporate our GDPR DPA into your existing agreement with our Company, please email us and we will promptly send you our DPA for you to complete, sign and return to us.
In accordance with Art 17 GDPR, we have appointed GDPR-Rep.eu as our EU data privacy representative. If you want to make use of your GDPR data privacy rights, contact support [at] GDPR-Rep.eu, Maetzler Rechtsanwalts GmbH & Co KG Attorneys at Law, Schellinggasse 3/10, 1010 Vienna, Austria. Please add the following subject to all correspondence: GDPR-REP ID: 14814527
Our Company will keep your personal data for as long as you have an active user account, as indicated in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise needed to provide you with our services.
We may continue to retain your personal information even after you cease to use our services as reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes regarding our users, prevent fraud and abuse, enforce our agreements and protect our legitimate interests.
Where your information is no longer required, we will ensure it is securely deleted.
Our Company would like to send you information about products and services of ours that we think you might like, as well as those of our partner companies.
If you have agreed to receive marketing, you may always opt out at a later date.
You have the right at any time to stop our Company from contacting you for marketing purposes. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please e-mail hello [at] mhpradvisors with “no marketing” in the subject line.
