Work4u.ch – Privacy Policy
Last Updated: [Insert Date]
1. Introduction
Welcome to Work4u.ch, run by Global Horizon GmbH, located at Bodenackerstrasse 69, 4657 Dulliken, Switzerland. We’re committed to protecting your privacy according to Swiss law (Federal Data Protection Act, “FADP”). Because some visitors may also come from outside Switzerland, we also respect key principles of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
By using Work4u.ch, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you have questions, please email us at office@work4u.ch.
2. Who We Are
- Work4u.ch is an online listing platform, not a direct seller. Users in Switzerland can post or find job offers, services, events, and rentals.
- We do not handle your purchases or final transactions; those are between you and the advertiser.
3. Personal Data We Collect
3.1 Data You Provide
- Registration: Name, email, maybe phone or region, so you can create an account or post a listing.
- Listings: If you post a job, rental, or event, we collect the details (title, description, price, location, etc.).
- Payments: If you pay for a listing fee or subscription, we may collect partial billing info—though credit card data is often handled by secure third-party payment processors.
3.2 Data We Collect Automatically
- Log Data: IP address, browser type, device info, and timestamps for site visits.
- Cookies: Small text files on your device that let us remember your preferences (see our [Cookie Policy] for details).
- Analytics: We might use a service like Google Analytics (or Swiss/EU-compliant analytics) to understand site usage, which pages are popular, etc.
3.3 Data from Third Parties
If you link a social account or sign in via a third-party identity provider, we get basic profile data from them (like your name or ID). We don’t buy marketing lists from external sources.
4. Why We Collect Your Data
- Provide the Platform: We need some info (like a username) to let you post or respond to listings.
- Improve Services: Analytics help us see which pages people like, so we can make Work4u.ch better.
- Ensure Security: IP logs and other checks help us detect spam or fraud.
- Payment Processing: If you pay a subscription or listing fee, we use the info to finalize that transaction securely.
5. How We Use & Protect Your Data
5.1 Data Storage
We store data primarily in Switzerland (or possibly with Swiss/EU hosting partners). We use HTTPS encryption and other security steps to keep your info safe.
5.2 Data Retention
We keep your data as long as needed for your account or for legal obligations. If you delete your account, we’ll remove or anonymize your personal data unless Swiss law says otherwise (for example, invoice records).
5.3 Sharing Data
- Legal Requirement: If Swiss authorities demand info, we may have to provide it.
- User Consent: We only share user info externally if you explicitly agree or if it’s necessary for a service you requested.
- Service Providers: Some minimal data may go to hosting, email, or payment partners. They must protect it according to law.
- No Data Selling: We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties.
6. Your Rights (Swiss and Possibly EU)
- Access & Correction: You can ask us what personal data we hold, and request updates if it’s wrong.
- Deletion: You may delete your account. We remove your data except what’s needed for Swiss legal compliance.
- Objection/Complaints: If you think we’re using your data improperly, email office@work4u.ch. If we can’t resolve it, you can contact Swiss data protection authorities.
7. Minors
We don’t knowingly let people under 18 create an account without parental permission. If we see an underage user, we might remove their account for their safety.
8. Advertisers and User Listings
Because Work4u.ch is an advertising platform, your interactions with an advertiser (like providing them your address to rent something) are governed by their privacy rules. We can’t control how they use your info once you leave our platform. Check their policies or ask them directly.
9. External Links
Sometimes we link to other sites (like if an advertiser includes a link in their listing). We aren’t responsible for how those sites handle your data. Read their policies if you’re worried.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if we add new features or if Swiss law changes. We’ll post a notice on our site or email you if it’s a big shift. Using Work4u.ch after that means you accept the new policy.
