You provide your personal data voluntarily but we cannot meet your request if we do not have your personal data. If you have shown interest in us and our services, e.g. by attending one of our events or by requesting information from us, we may even use your personal data in order to promote ourselves towards you and your organisation.Personal data which is stored as described above is transferred to other data controllers solely if the Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Israel is obliged by law or court order to hand over the information. The Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Israel engages different service providers to pursue its business and may transfer personal data to those. Such service providers are e.g. providers of data systems or storage servers. Such service providers process personal data on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Israel and according to its instructions. Accordingly, the service providers qualify as data processors which process personal data on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Israel.​
