When you visit our website, the hosting provider automatically collects the following data: IP address of the requesting device; date and time of access; name and URL of the accessed file; referrer URL (the website you came from); browser type, version, and operating system.

4. Contact Form and Email

If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we will store your submitted data (e.g., name, email address, message) to process your request. Beyond the disclosure to partner companies and service providers described in section 5, we do not share this data with third parties without your consent.

5. Sharing Data with Partner Companies

Circle 8 acts as an agent and intermediary. To prepare offers and deliver the services you request, we share the personal data required for the specific mandate with selected partner companies and service providers.

This includes in particular our partner companies Swiss Sales (www.swiss-sales.ch) and Conference Arena (www.conferencearena.ch), as well as further providers involved in your booking, such as event venues, yacht and aircraft operators, chauffeur services, hotels and real estate partners.

The data shared is limited to what is necessary for the respective mandate, typically your name, contact details (email, phone), and booking or event-related information. The legal basis is the performance of a contract, your consent, or our legitimate interest in delivering the requested service.

Partner companies located outside Switzerland or the EU/EEA only receive data where this is necessary for the performance of the mandate and where appropriate safeguards are in place.

You may object to this data sharing at any time by writing to welcome@circle8.ch. Where the transfer is necessary to perform the service, we may then be unable to fulfil your request.
