Privacy statement.

Last updated: 8 January 2025

In addition to our Terms of Service, this Privacy Statement describes which personal data takeoff.healthcare GmbH collects and processes when you use the Platform.

1. Data controller

Takeoff.healthcare GmbH, Voltastrasse 38, 6005 Lucerne, Switzerland, is responsible for collecting and processing the personal data gathered from you when using www.takeoff.physio / www.takeoff.healthcare (the "Platform").

Contact: contact@takeoff.physio

2. What personal data we collect and why

Information we collect from you: We receive and store all information you enter or upload on our Platform or otherwise provide to us, such as your application dossier. This includes information that can identify you as an individual or enable direct contact. Other data we may collect includes your IP address, device and browsing information, and data obtained through cookies or similar technologies.

Information we receive from third parties: We may also receive personal data about you from third parties, including personal details (name, address, date of birth), contact information, location and traffic data, device identifiers, audio and visual recordings, and sensitive data (e.g. health information).

How we use your data: We use your data solely within the boundaries of applicable data protection law and to the extent necessary for our business activities — specifically the placement of specialists in the medical sector and immigration support for Switzerland. This includes offering vacancies, improving our platform services, and tailoring our services and offers to your needs. We may also evaluate your experience reports to provide anonymised findings to employers.

3. Recipients of your data

We are subject to the Job Placement Act and obligated to keep the data you provide for employment placement confidential. We will not disclose or sell your data to third parties.

Your data is transmitted digitally (via ATS, email, login portals, etc.) solely as part of our placement process. Your data may also be shared with third parties if required by law, court order, or official regulations.

We may use third-party services for data processing, including administration and accounting firms, advisory services, IT providers (hosting, cloud, platform design), payment providers, social media platforms (where we integrate their plugins), and tracking and advertising providers. We ensure these parties comply with data protection requirements.

4. International data transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are required to ensure the same level of data protection as we do.

If the level of data protection does not match that in Switzerland, we conduct a risk analysis and contractually ensure the same protection level is guaranteed (e.g. through EU standard contractual clauses). Where a risk analysis is negative, we take additional technical measures to protect your data.

5. Data retention

We retain your data for as long as necessary for our business purposes or to comply with legal obligations. Data collected during your visit to our Platform is retained for a maximum of 24 months. Analytics and tracking data may be retained longer.

6. Security measures

We have implemented appropriate physical, administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data you provide against unauthorised access, use or disclosure.

7. Cookies

Our Platform uses cookies to store preferences, display content quickly and attractively, and analyse Platform usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our Platform.

8. Analytics tools

We use analytics tools that collect data via cookies. The providers of these services analyse the data and make it available in a dashboard to help us improve our services and content.

9. Social media links

Our Platform contains links to social media platforms. When you use these links, social media providers may collect data about your visit. We have no influence on this data processing.

10. Tracking pixels

We use tracking pixels to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements and optimise them. The data is processed by third parties, usually social media providers.

11. Contact options

You can reach us via a contact form or email. Data you provide will be used to process your request.

12. Newsletter

You may subscribe to our newsletter. We collect your data for sending and verification purposes. You can unsubscribe at any time via a link in the newsletter.

13. Your rights

You have the right to access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection, data portability, and filing a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner).

14. Right of withdrawal

You may withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. Please note that this may affect our service delivery.

15. Changes to this privacy policy

Takeoff.healthcare GmbH reserves the right to amend this privacy policy. We will inform registered users of changes in a timely manner.
