Privacy as the Foundation of the Responsible Handling of Personal Information

Transparency, Security and the Responsible Processing of Personal Data

The Principles Governing Our Responsible Handling of Personal Information

At Swiss Noble Partners, the responsible protection of personal data is among our highest priorities.

We believe in complete transparency regarding the personal data we process and the measures we take to protect it.

Personal information, individual life circumstances and private aspirations belong to the most personal aspects of an individual’s life. For this reason, we regard the responsible handling of such information not merely as a legal obligation, but as a fundamental commitment to every person who places their trust in us.

All information entrusted to us is treated with the utmost care, respect and professional discretion.

Our objective is to ensure the transparent, secure and responsible processing of all personal data.

Scope of These Privacy and Confidentiality Principles

These principles apply to all services and areas of contact offered by Swiss Noble Partners.

This includes, in particular:

• Visitors to our website;
• General enquiries;
• Non-binding Registrations;
• Personal consultations;
• Membership applications;
• Admission procedures;
• The protected Members’ Area;
• Personal compatibility assessments;
• Discreet matchmaking services;
• Personal introductions to carefully selected individuals.

Regardless of whether an individual is simply expressing an interest in our services, applying for a registration or membership, or making use of our Matchmaking services, the same uncompromising standards of privacy, confidentiality and respectful treatment apply at every stage.

The Responsible Collection of Personal Information

In order to provide our services and offer truly individual guidance, it may be necessary to collect certain personal information.

The collection of such information is strictly limited to data that is necessary for providing personalised guidance and our professional services, or that has been voluntarily provided by the individual concerned.

This may include:

Personal Information

• First Name and Last Name;
• Form of Address;
• Date of Birth;
• Place of Residence and Country;
• Contact Details;
• Additional information voluntarily provided.

Personal Background

• Professional Career;
• Education and Interests;
• Language Skills;
• Cultural Background;
• Personal Life Circumstances.

Personal Aspirations and Expectations

To facilitate a successful and harmonious introduction, we may also take into account voluntarily provided information such as:

• Personal Values;
• Vision of Life;
• Interests;
• Expectations regarding a future partnership;
• Aspirations for a shared future.

All such information serves one purpose alone: to develop the deepest possible understanding of each individual’s personality, values and personal aspirations.

Privacy in Connection with Registration

The non’binding and complimentary registration with Swiss Noble Partners does not constitute a public listing, nor does it involve the publication of any personal information.

Registration serves exclusively to establish an initial personal connection and to determine whether our services correspond to your individual expectations.

Accordingly:

• No personal information is published;
• No public profile search is available;
• No information is disclosed to third parties;
• No automatic admission to the Members’ Area takes place;
• No contact by other individuals is permitted without your explicit consent.

Every piece of information remains securely protected within the confidential sphere of responsibility of Swiss Noble Partners.

Privacy Within the Membership Programme

The membership programme is subject to particularly stringent standards concerning the protection of personal data and confidential information.

Individuals who apply for or are granted membership may expect that their personal information will be used exclusively for the purpose of providing professional guidance and services within the scope of our offering.

Member profiles are never made publicly accessible.

No personal information is disclosed without the explicit consent of the individual concerned.

Member data is used exclusively for the provision of the agreed services.

Privacy Throughout the Matchmaking Process

The Matchmaking of two individuals represents the most sensitive aspect of our work.

For this reason, particularly rigorous principles apply throughout the entire process.

Personal information is used only with the individual’s consent and solely to the extent necessary for the purpose of a personal introduction.

Before any introduction is considered, numerous aspects are carefully evaluated, including:

• Personal aspirations;
• Character and personality;
• Life goals;
• Interests;
• Mutual expectations;
• Personal compatibility.

Information is disclosed only to the extent required to facilitate a respectful and discreet introduction.

The decision to proceed with a personal matchmaking always remains entirely with the individuals concerned.

Throughout the process, the dignity, privacy and personal autonomy of every individual remain our highest priority.

No Disclosure of Personal Information Without Consent

Swiss Noble Partners is committed to the following principles:

Personal information is never:

• sold;
• used for advertising or marketing purposes;
• made publicly accessible;
• disclosed to unauthorised persons;
• processed without a lawful basis.

Personal information is disclosed exclusively:

• with the explicit consent of the individual concerned;
• for the purpose of providing an agreed service;
• or where required by law.

Technical and Organisational Data Security

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are implemented to safeguard all personal information.

These measures are designed in particular to protect against:

• unauthorised access;
• loss of data;
• misuse of information;
• unintended disclosure;
• manipulation or damage.

Access to confidential information is strictly limited to those individuals who require such information in order to fulfil their professional responsibilities.

Swiss Noble Partners continuously reviews its security standards and adapts them in accordance with technological developments and recognised best practices.

Your Rights as a Client

Every individual enjoys comprehensive rights concerning their personal data.

These include, in particular:

Right of Access
You have the right, at any time, to obtain information regarding the personal data we hold about you.

Right to Rectification
Should any personal information be inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that it be corrected or updated.

Right to Erasure
Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you may request the deletion of your personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that the processing of certain personal data be restricted under the conditions provided by law.

Right to Withdraw Consent
Any consent previously granted for the processing of your personal data may be withdrawn at any time, provided that no legal obligation requires its continued processing.

Responsibility and Mutual Respect

Privacy and discretion are founded not only upon technical safeguards, but equally upon a shared sense of responsibility and mutual respect.

For this reason, Swiss Noble Partners is committed to maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality.

Likewise, we expect every client to treat the personal information of others with the same respect and discretion. It is for this very reason that our services are intended exclusively for discerning individuals who appreciate the value of trust and personal integrity.

Safeguarding the privacy of every individual is a shared responsibility within a community founded upon confidence and mutual respect.

Principles of Liability and Security Notice

Swiss Noble Partners implements all reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information with the utmost diligence.

At the same time, it should be recognised that digital communication and electronic data transmission can never provide an environment entirely free of risk, notwithstanding the most advanced security technologies.

Nevertheless, Swiss Noble Partners is committed to maintaining the highest professional standards and to implementing every reasonable safeguard for the protection of confidential information.

Amendments to These Privacy Principles

Swiss Noble Partners may revise these Privacy Principles from time to time in order to:

• comply with legal requirements;
• further enhance security standards;
• continuously improve our services.

The most recent version shall always constitute the governing basis of our Privacy and Confidentiality Principles.

Our Enduring Commitment

Transparency and responsibility form the foundation of our approach to the processing of personal data.

At Swiss Noble Partners, privacy protection is not regarded as an additional service, but as an integral and self-evident part of everything we do.

Every individual who entrusts us with personal information may rightfully expect:

• the strictest confidentiality;
• responsible and attentive personal guidance;
• securely protected personal data;
• and the utmost respect for their privacy.

Your personality deserves protection.

Your trust deserves our highest regard.

Your privacy remains our enduring commitment.

Privacy Protection Under Swiss Law

It is important to note that the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) does not contain a separate section specifically governing matchmaking services.

Professional matchmaking therefore falls within the general legal framework applicable to organisations that process personal data.

However, because such services frequently involve highly sensitive personal information — including individual life circumstances, relationship aspirations, personality profiles and family situations — they require an especially careful, transparent and responsible approach to the handling of personal data.

Our Legal Foundation

Swiss Noble Partners is committed to complying with the applicable data protection laws of Switzerland, in particular the:

Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP)

together with its corresponding Data Protection Ordinance.

Swiss data protection legislation safeguards the personality and fundamental rights of individuals whose personal data is processed. It requires organisations to handle personal information responsibly, transparently and securely.

Transparency Towards Our Clients

Swiss Noble Partners provides every individual with clear information regarding:

• the personal data that is collected;
• the purpose for which such data is collected;
• the length of time for which the information is retained;
• who may, where applicable, be granted access to such information;
• the rights enjoyed by the individual concerned.

Swiss data protection legislation requires that individuals be informed in a transparent and comprehensible manner about the processing of their personal data.

Privacy in Connection with Registration

When submitting a registration, personal information is collected exclusively for the purpose of:

• establishing an initial personal contact;
• determining whether our services are fundamentally suited to your individual circumstances;
• gaining a better understanding of your personal expectations.

A registration does not constitute:

• a public registration;
• the publication of personal information;
• inclusion in a publicly accessible directory;
• the automatic disclosure of information to other individuals.

Control over all personal information remains with the individual at all times.

Privacy Within the Membership Programme

As part of a membership, additional information may be required in order to ensure the highest standard of personalised guidance and individual support.

Such information is used exclusively for:

• individual consultation;
• personalised guidance;
• the careful selection of suitable introductions;
• enhancing the compatibility of prospective matches.

Member information is treated with the strictest confidence and is never made publicly accessible.

Privacy Throughout the Matchmaking Process

The introduction of two individuals represents the most sensitive aspect of our professional activity.

For this reason, Swiss Noble Partners adheres to the following fundamental principles:

No Introduction Without Consent

No individual will ever be introduced to another without the prior consent of both parties.

No Uncontrolled Disclosure

Personal information is shared only to the extent necessary to facilitate a respectful initial introduction.

Only such information as is strictly necessary to form an appropriate initial assessment and to determine the suitability of a potential match will be disclosed.

Respect for Individual Dignity

Every introduction is conducted with careful consideration for:

• personal wishes and aspirations;
• individual boundaries;
• mutual expectations;
• the preservation of each person’s privacy.

Your Rights under Swiss Data Protection Law

Clients enjoy the following important rights:

Right of Access
Every individual has the right to know whether personal data relating to them is being processed and, if so, what information is held.

This includes information concerning the nature, purpose and origin of the data, as well as any recipients to whom it may be disclosed.

You remain in control of your personal information at all times and may exercise your statutory rights concerning its processing whenever you choose.

Right to Rectification
Incorrect or incomplete personal information may be corrected.

You retain full control over your personal data and may exercise your legal rights whenever necessary to ensure its accuracy.

Right to Erasure
Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you may request the deletion of your personal information.

A matchmaking agreement may be terminated at any time. Any contractual obligations relating to services already provided shall remain governed by the signed agreement.

Right to Transparency
Every individual has the right to understand how their personal information is processed and for what purposes it is used.

Data Protection Through Technical and Organisational Measures

Swiss Noble Partners adheres to one fundamental principle:

Data protection begins not when information is stored, but from the very moment it is collected.

Swiss data protection legislation incorporates modern principles such as Privacy by Design and Privacy by Default.

These principles require that the protection of personal information be taken into account from the earliest stages of designing systems and processes.

This includes, for example:

• controlled access rights;
• secure data processing;
• confidential communication;
• restricted use of personal information;
• regular review of stored personal data.

Website Usage Analysis with Google Analytics

At Swiss Noble Partners, transparency extends equally to the digital environment and forms an integral part of our privacy principles.

To continuously improve our website and enhance the user experience, we make use of Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited.

This analysis serves exclusively to obtain aggregated statistical information regarding the general use of our website, including, for example:

• which sections of our website are visited most frequently;
• how visitors interact with our content;
• which devices and web browsers are used;
• the general geographical regions from which visits originate.

The information collected through Google Analytics enables us to continually improve the quality, clarity and accessibility of our digital presence.

Optimisations are carried out for all browser platforms and device types in order to enhance the presentation, usability and accessibility of the information we provide.

Ultimately, these improvements benefit every client of Swiss Noble Partners.

Important: Google Analytics is not used to create personal profiles of our visitors or to identify individual persons.

Nor do we analyse any personal information voluntarily submitted through contact forms, a registration, or a membership application.

The information is processed in a manner designed to prevent the direct identification of individual visitors.

The statistical information generated through Google Analytics is processed entirely separately from the personal information submitted by clients when applying for a registration or membership.

A strict separation exists between anonymous website statistics and the confidential personal information entrusted to us by our clients.

Any personal information communicated directly to us — for example through contact forms or personal consultations — is handled independently of website analytics and is subject to our strict principles of confidentiality and discretion.

You may therefore be assured that the use of Google Analytics in no way compromises the security or confidentiality of your personal information.

Google Analytics is operated in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation, in particular the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

Appropriate technical safeguards are implemented to ensure the protection of our visitors’ privacy.

Our guiding principle remains unchanged:

The analysis of our website serves exclusively to improve its content, services and overall user experience ’ never to monitor, evaluate or profile individual persons. All data is collected in anonymised form and analysed solely as aggregated statistical information, without any direct reference to individual users or visitors.

Respect for Individual Dignity and Private Life

For Swiss Noble Partners, data protection extends far beyond compliance with legal requirements.

It reflects our unwavering commitment to treating every individual’s dignity, privacy and personal circumstances with the utmost respect.

We undertake to handle all personal information with the greatest care and to implement appropriate measures designed to protect it against unauthorised access, misuse or unintended disclosure.

Our commitment reaches beyond the mere fulfilment of statutory obligations.

Through transparency, responsibility and the conscientious handling of personal information, we strive to honour and justify the confidence that every client places in Swiss Noble Partners.
