Depending on the destination and shipment, we currently use:

  • Swiss Post

  • DHL

  • UPS

Information shared for this purpose may include your name, delivery address, telephone number or email address where required for delivery, and shipment or tracking information.

Only information reasonably necessary to arrange and complete delivery is provided.

11. Photography and Video at Events

Photography and video recordings may be made during exhibitions, live performances and other events organised by or in collaboration with NOA contemporary.

Such recordings may include identifiable visitors and may be used for:

  • documentation of exhibitions, performances and events;

  • documentation of Simon Berger’s artistic practice;

  • the websites of NOA contemporary and Simon Berger;

  • social media, including Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn;

  • press and media relations;

  • editorial communication;

  • communication relating to exhibitions, performances and projects;

  • archival documentation.

Visitors are informed at the venue when photography or filming is taking place.

If you do not wish to appear in photographs or video recordings, we ask you to remain outside immediate recording areas where reasonably possible. During live performances in particular, visitors who do not wish to appear in recordings are asked to remain in the rear section of the room and outside the main recording area.

For targeted recordings in which an individual is clearly the main subject — including individual portraits, close-ups or interviews — we seek separate permission.

For comparable targeted recordings of minors, permission is sought from a parent or legal guardian.

If you have expressly objected to identifiable publication, we will take this into account when selecting material for publication.

If you later identify yourself in a photograph or video published by NOA contemporary or Simon Berger and do not wish the material to remain in use, please contact:

florian.koenig@noacontemporary.com

We will review your request and, where appropriate and within our control, remove or replace the material or cease its further use.

12. Social Media

NOA contemporary maintains profiles on third-party social-media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

When you visit or interact with these profiles, the respective platform provider may independently process personal data in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms.

Content published on social-media platforms may be accessible internationally, and the respective providers may process information in countries outside Switzerland.

Our website does not currently embed a live Instagram feed.

13. External Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to external websites or services.

NOA Contemporary AG is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites. If you follow an external link, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

We currently do not embed YouTube, Vimeo or Google Maps on the website.

14. Legal Bases Where the GDPR Applies

Where processing falls within the scope of the GDPR, personal data are processed on an applicable legal basis.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • your consent;

  • performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract;

  • compliance with legal obligations;

  • our legitimate interests or those of a third party, where these are not overridden by your rights and interests;

  • another legal basis permitted under applicable law.

For example, processing connected with an online purchase may be necessary for the performance of a contract, while consent may apply to certain marketing communications or non-essential technologies.

15. Disclosure to Service Providers and Other Recipients

Where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose personal data to service providers and other recipients including:

  • Squarespace, for website hosting, ecommerce, analytics and email communications;

  • Stripe, for payment processing;

  • Swiss Post, DHL and UPS, where relevant for shipping;

  • IT and technology service providers;

  • accounting, legal and other professional advisers;

  • photographers, videographers and production partners involved in exhibitions or events;

  • press, media or communication partners where appropriate and permitted;

  • public authorities, courts or regulatory bodies where disclosure is legally required.

Recipients receive personal data only to the extent reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

16. International Data Transfers

NOA Contemporary AG is based in Switzerland, but some of the service providers we use operate internationally.

Personal data may therefore be processed in Switzerland, the European Economic Area, the United States and, depending on the provider and its subprocessors, other countries.

In particular, Squarespace and Stripe operate internationally and may process personal data outside Switzerland.

Where personal data are transferred to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection under applicable law, we rely, where required, on appropriate safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism.

17. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or as required by applicable law.

Retention periods may depend on factors including:

  • the duration of a business or contractual relationship;

  • the purpose for which the data were collected;

  • accounting and tax requirements;

  • transaction and warranty requirements;

  • legal claims or disputes;

  • legitimate documentation or archival interests.

Once personal data are no longer required, they are deleted, anonymised or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable law.

18. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no electronic transmission or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

19. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have rights concerning the personal data we process about you.

These may include the right to:

  • request information about whether and how your personal data are being processed;

  • request access to your personal data;

  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • request deletion of personal data where applicable;

  • object to certain processing;

  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;

  • request restriction of processing where applicable;

  • request data portability where applicable.

Certain rights may be subject to statutory conditions, restrictions or exceptions.

To exercise your rights or raise a privacy-related question, please contact:

florian.koenig@noacontemporary.com

We may request appropriate information to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

You may also contact the competent data protection authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC / EDÖB).

20. Children and Minors

Our website and online shop are not specifically directed at children.

Where an identifiable minor is intentionally made the main subject of a photograph, video recording, interview or comparable recording at an event, we seek permission from a parent or legal guardian as appropriate.

21. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technologies, legal requirements or data-processing practices.

The current version will be published on this page.
