Data protection has a lot to do with protecting the trust you have in our company. Therefore, we only process such of your data that we really need. We do this by taking due diligence, not least to protect you from any misuse.

With these three Privacy Statements, we wish to provide you with an overview of the processing of your data and the rights you have according to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”) and the Liechtenstein Data Protection Act (hereinafter referred to as “DPA”):

1.2. Collection and storage of personal data as well as type and purpose of their use; legal bases (including legitimate interest)

We only process necessary data.

If you contact us, we particularly collect the following information:

  • creditor and address details (name, date of birth, private or business address, phone number, e-mail address);
  • identification data (policy numbers);
  • insurance information (insurance contracts, bank details, correspondence, court decisions).

Such data are collected for the following purposes:

  • to be able to identify you as our creditor;
  • to communicate with you;
  • for bankruptcy processing;
  • to meet statutory obligations (particularly arising from the Liechtenstein Persons and Companies Act, Law concerning the Professional Trustees and Fiduciaries, Law on Due Diligence, tax laws and tax agreements).

In general, data processing is carried out upon your request and, according to point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR, it is required for the stated purposes (execution of the contract), for the adequate execution of our job and for the mutual fulfilment of obligations arising from the customer relationship.

Furthermore, your data are processed for the compliance with legal obligations (point (c) of Article 6(1) GDPR), particularly for complying with statutory and regulatory requirements (e.g. Data Protection Act, Insurance Supervision Act and Bankruptcy Regulations).

In addition, your data are processed in order to protect the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party (point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR) for specified purposes, particularly for the processing for internal administrative purposes, to execute a contract with a third party, to guarantee IT security and IT operation as well as potentially the building and plant safety and for the defence against unjustified claims.

We reserve the right to further process personal data that were collected for one of the aforementioned purposes for the remaining purposes as well, if this is compatible with the original purpose or permitted and/or stipulated by a legal provision (e.g. any potential reporting obligations).

1.3. Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data

Within our company, employees are only allowed to process your data if they require them for the fulfilment of our contractual, statutory and regulatory obligations as well as for the protection of legitimate interests.

Your personal data are only forwarded to third parties where required for the provision of our services. Third parties include banks, insurance companies, lawyers, auditors or other cooperation partners and processors, e.g. in the IT services field.

If we are required to fulfil statutory or regulatory obligations, the following bodies in particular may receive personal data:

  • government authorities and public bodies (e.g. supervisory authorities, courts);
  • tax authorities;
  • authorities of third countries or international organisations.

1.4. Transmission of personal data to third countries

If we transfer personal data of creditors to another country, they are protected and transferred according to the statutory provisions. Transmission of data outside the European Economic Area takes place in Switzerland. The European Commission decided on 26 July 2000 that Switzerland provides reasonable data protection.

1.5. Origin of the data

The data are collected directly (e.g. during meetings or from correspondence with creditors; internal background checks) and partly by third parties (service providers or other third parties).

1.6. Duration of storage of personal data

The personal data collected by us for the engagement will be processed until the expiry of the statutory retention obligation (usually 10 years) and then erased, unless a longer retention is deemed necessary by us according to point (c) of Article 6(1) GDPR due to retention and documentation obligations under tax, corporate or regulatory law (particularly based on PGR [Liechtenstein Persons and Companies Act] or SteG [Liechtenstein Tax Act]/MwStG [Liechtenstein Value Added Tax Act]) or you have consented to longer-term storage according to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The further processing and storage may also take place for a longer period for reasons of preserving evidence, e.g. during the period of the applicable rules on limitation periods.

1.7. Automated decision-making

No automated decision-making is applied to the personal data of creditors. Should such procedures be used in individual cases, we will inform you as required by law.

1.8. Necessity of the data (point (e) of Article 13(2) GDPR)

We absolutely need the data stated in item 1.2 to be able to meet our duties as liquidator as well as the statutory obligations. Any non-provision of such data results in the rejection of your claim.

1.9. Your data protection rights

As a creditor, you are entitled to request information about your personal data at any time. You also have the right to rectification, data portability, objection, restriction of processing or erasure of incorrect and/or inadmissibly processed data.

Please notify us if your personal data change.

You have the right to withdraw any previously issued consent to the use of your personal data at any time.

If you are of the opinion that our processing of your personal data violates the applicable data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated otherwise, you have the option to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EEA state of your residence, your workplace or the place of the alleged violation.
