Privacy policy
1. Who is responsible for your data
Groups AG is responsible for processing your personal data on groupsjobs.ch. We comply with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).
Groups AG, Allmendlistrasse 9b, 5507 Mellingen, Switzerland. UID CHE-105.849.523.
Data protection contact: Patrick Weiss, patrick@groupstravel.com, 061 926 60 00.
2. What data we process
| Area | Data | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Title, first and last name, email address, role | from you, via GroupsID |
| Profile | Areas, cantons, languages, place of residence and canton, availability, about me, phone (optional) | from you |
| Youth+Sport (J+S) details | Recognitions (sports), valid until, target groups, postcode and radius, available periods | from you |
| Advertiser details | Organisation, address, website, billing address and billing email, VAT number, subscriptions ordered | from you |
| Postings | Organisation, location, period, description, contact person | from advertisers |
| Saved postings | postings you have saved | from you |
| Job alerts | Search criteria (area, type of employment, canton, keyword, J+S camp with sport) and how often you receive the email | from you |
| Contacts | Invitations, requests, messages between advertisers and specialists | from those involved |
| Reports | Reports about postings and profiles: reason, message, optional contact address | from the person reporting, for postings also without an account |
| Consents | Date and time of your consent for the specialist profile; for the J+S profile, every time consent is given or withdrawn, with date, time and text version | automatically |
| Technical data | IP address, date and time, page visited, browser information in the server logs; IP address and browser at each sign-in | automatically |
We do not ask for or store your AHV number (Swiss social security number) or your J+S personal number. Whether your J+S recognition is valid is checked by the National Sports Database (NDS) when you are registered for a camp.
3. Why we process the data
We process your data only to operate GroupsJOBS:
- maintain your account and let you sign in
- publish postings and review them before they go live
- put specialists and advertisers in touch with each other
- send emails that you have triggered or subscribed to (confirmations, job alerts)
- bill subscriptions if you publish paid postings
- prevent misuse and operate the platform securely
The basis is our contract with you (use of the platform), our legitimate interest in operating the platform securely and, for the visibility of your profile, your consent. We do not sell data or use it for third-party advertising.
4. Who sees your profile
You decide who sees your specialist profile and your J+S profile. Newly created profiles are invisible.
| Level | Who sees the profile |
|---|---|
| Invisible | no one except you and the Groups team |
| For advertisers | signed-in advertisers with at least one approved posting |
Advertisers never see your email address or phone number. Contact takes place through invitations, requests and messages in GroupsJOBS. If a business invites you for a posting, you see its contact details there. For a profile to be visible, we need your explicit consent, and a separate one for the J+S profile. For the specialist profile we store the date and time of your consent; for the J+S profile, every time consent is given or withdrawn, with date, time and text version. You can make both profiles invisible again at any time.
5. Who helps us
These service providers process data on our behalf. They may only use it for us.
| Service provider | Task | Data location |
|---|---|---|
| Nine Internet Solutions AG, Zurich (nine.ch) | Hosting of the platform and the database | Switzerland |
| Brevo (Sendinblue SAS), Paris | Sending emails | EU |
| GroupsID (Groups AG) | shared sign-in for all GroupsSUITE applications | Switzerland, at nine.ch |
| myfactory | Accounting and invoices, internal to Groups AG | Switzerland |
Within Groups AG, the team only sees your data to the extent necessary for support, reviewing postings or billing.
6. Data abroad
Your data is stored in Switzerland. To send emails, the recipient address and the content of the email are passed to Brevo in the EU. The Federal Council recognises the level of data protection in the EU as adequate. We do not disclose data to any other country.
7. How long we keep data
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account, specialist and J+S profiles, saved postings and job alerts | until you request deletion |
| Postings | until you request deletion |
| Invitations, requests and messages | until you request deletion |
| Reports about postings and profiles | until you request deletion |
| IP address and browser of a sign-in | until you sign out or request deletion |

| Subscription invoices | 10 years (statutory retention obligation) |
| Server logs | in line with the rules of our hosting provider nine.ch |
If you request deletion, we remove your account and profile within 30 days.
8. Cookies
We only use two cookies, both for sign-in and the session: one is valid while your browser is open, the other keeps you signed in for no more than 30 days. The language you have chosen is in the address, not in a cookie. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies, or any services that track your behaviour across other websites.
9. Your rights
You can at any time:
- ask which data we process about you
- have incorrect data corrected (you can change most of it yourself in your profile)
- request the deletion of your data, unless there is a statutory retention obligation
- ask for your data to be handed over in a common electronic format
- withdraw consent, with effect for the future
To do so, write to Groups AG, Patrick Weiss, Allmendlistrasse 9b, 5507 Mellingen, or to patrick@groupstravel.com. We will reply within 30 days. If you disagree with our reply, you can contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
