We process your personal data based on pre-contractual relationship or the contract between you and CEIBS.

Where necessary, personal data are processed for the purpose of ensuring our legitimate interest or those of third parties. This may be the case for student development, passing your contact data to business partner, administrative internal company processes, performance management or access control.

If we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, this serves as the legal basis (e.g. newsletter).

Insofar as personal data are processed on the basis of a legal obligation, this serves as the legal basis. This may be the case with the transfer of personal data to authorities and third parties, the storage period or retention periods.

  1. Disclosure of personal data
    1. Are personal data disclosed internally or to third parties?

To the extent necessary for the performance of the contract between you and CEIBS and services or based on our legitimate interest, we will disclose your personal data internally (e.g. CEIBS Shanghai, CEIBS Zürich Campus) or to third parties.

In addition, your data may be disclosed to third parties if you have given your consent or if we are obliged to do so by law or by an enforceable official or court order.

    1. Do we use third-party service providers?

We use external service providers for data processing. Service providers are usually involved as so-called "processors" who are only allowed to process the traders' personal data according to our instructions. These include:

  • Information technology providers
  • Business partners/sponsors
  • Legal advisors of the company
  • Insurances and health insurance companies
  • Social security institutions
  • Training organizers
  • Tour operators
  • Service providers and responsible authorities for visa issuance
    1. Do we transfer personal data to third countries?

We also disclose personal data to third parties or processors that are not located in the EU/EEA or Switzerland. In this case, prior to the transfer, we either ensure that the recipient guarantees an adequate level of data protection (e.g. based on an adequacy decision for the country in question or the application of European Union standard contractual clauses) or that you as a user have given your consent.

We can provide you with an overview of third country recipients together with a copy of the terms specifically agreed to ensure an adequate level of data protection. Please use the details under [Jeffrey SHEN, IT and Library Centre, sjeffrey@ceibs.edu, 0086 21-28905257] for this purpose.

  1. Duration of storage and retention periods?

We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to provide our (contractual) services. In all other cases, we delete your personal data, except for the following purposes:

  • Fulfilment of legal obligations (e.g. retention obligations). The retention period is generally between two and ten years.
  • Retention of evidence within the framework of limitation periods. These are usually five or ten years.
