Summit Ski & Snowboard AG (“Summit”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and your rights in relation to your personal information.
It applies when you use our website, make an enquiry or booking, participate in our ski or snowboard services, or otherwise communicate with us.
The data controller responsible for your personal information is:
Summit Ski & Snowboard AG
Bahnhofplatz 2
3920 Zermatt
Valais
Switzerland
Website: https://summitskischool.com
Email: info@summitskischool.com
Depending on how you interact with Summit, we may collect:
We do not store your full credit or debit card details. Payments are processed by Stripe and payment-card information is handled by Stripe rather than stored in Summit’s booking database.
Many of our ski and snowboard lessons involve children.
Where a booking is made for a child, we may collect information about that child that is necessary to organise and safely provide the lesson. This may include their name, age, skiing or snowboarding ability and relevant health or safety information.
This information will normally be provided by a parent, guardian or other person responsible for making the booking.
We use this information only where reasonably necessary to administer the booking and provide our services safely and effectively.
Skiing and snowboarding are physical activities, so there may be circumstances where it is important for us or your instructor to know about a medical condition, injury, allergy, disability or other relevant health information.
We ask that you only provide health information that is relevant to the safe provision of your lesson or activity.
Where such information is provided, we limit its use and disclosure to what is reasonably necessary for safety and the provision of our services.
We may use personal information to:
Depending on the circumstances, we process personal information because:
It is necessary to provide our services or fulfil a contract with you. For example, we need participant and booking information to provide a ski lesson you have booked.
It is necessary for our legitimate business interests. This includes operating and improving our business, communicating with customers, maintaining security and providing effective customer service.
We have a legal obligation. Certain financial, accounting and business records must be retained under applicable law.
You have given your consent. We may rely on consent for certain activities, including some marketing, cookies and the processing of information requiring explicit consent where applicable.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
Online payments are processed using Stripe.
Stripe processes payment information on our behalf. Summit does not store your complete credit or debit card details in its booking database.
Stripe may process personal information in accordance with its own privacy and security policies.
We use a custom-built booking system to manage bookings and customer information.
The system stores the information required to administer your booking, such as contact details, lesson details, participants and other relevant booking information.
Credit and debit card details are not stored in our booking database.
Access to booking information is restricted to people who require it for legitimate operational purposes.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share personal information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our business or provide your services. These may include:
These providers should only receive information reasonably necessary for the services they provide.
We may occasionally send information about Summit, Zermatt, our services or relevant offers to customers and subscribers where permitted by applicable law.
We currently use Mailchimp as an email marketing platform.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link contained in the email or by contacting us.
Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent us from sending communications necessary to administer an existing enquiry or booking.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for functions including website operation, analytics and third-party services.
These may include services provided by Google, YouTube, Crisp and other providers identified by our cookie management system.
Where required, non-essential cookies are only activated after you have made your cookie choices.
Our website uses CookieYes to manage cookie consent and preferences.
For detailed information about the cookies currently used on the website and to change your consent preferences, please see our Cookie Policy.
Some of the service providers we use operate internationally and may process information outside Switzerland.
Where personal information is transferred to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection, we take appropriate measures to protect that information, which may include recognised contractual safeguards or other mechanisms permitted under applicable data protection law.
That’s deliberately cautious. Swiss law permits overseas transfers to countries recognised as providing adequate protection, while transfers elsewhere require an appropriate legal mechanism, such as recognised standard contractual clauses.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing our services, maintaining appropriate business records and satisfying legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Where information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable.
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.
Access to personal information is limited to staff, instructors and service providers who reasonably require it for their work.
No online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take appropriate measures to protect the information entrusted to us.
Depending on the law applicable to you, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:
Under Swiss law, individuals have rights to obtain information concerning the processing of their data and, where appropriate, have information corrected or deleted.
If GDPR applies to the processing of your information, additional rights may apply.
To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites and recommend reviewing their privacy information when using those services.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technology, service providers or applicable law.
The latest version will always be published on this page and the date at the top will indicate when it was last updated.
