1. Data controller, applicable laws and scope

We, EasyLife 365 AG (Schochenmühlestrasse 6, 6340 Baar, Switzerland), are the owner and operator of the software EasyLife 365 (hereinafter referred to as the "Software") and, unless otherwise stated, are the data controller for the data processing activities listed in this privacy policy.

Your trust is important to us. That is why we take data protection seriously and implement the necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure data security. For us, it goes without saying that we comply with provisions of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FADP), the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act, the Telecommunications Act (TCA), and other provisions of Swiss data protection law. We are also committed to complying with other regulations that may be applicable in individual cases, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

In order for you to know what personal data we collect from you in connection with our software and for what purposes we use it, please read the information below. Our software is used to govern and provision Microsoft 365 assets (e.g., Microsoft Teams, etc.). For data processing connected with the provision of the Microsoft 365 assets as such, the respective Microsoft company or your company is the data controller. In this regard, please read the information provided by Microsoft.

Information on data processing when using our website can be found here:
https://www.easylife365.cloud/web/privacy/. Please note that the following information will be reviewed and amended from time to time. We, therefore, recommend that you consult this privacy policy regularly.

2. Users and other data subjects

This information is intended for the Software users and persons receiving our Services in connection with the Software. Who is considered a user depends on your company's internal organization of responsibilities and functions. Our customers may determine who belongs to this group of users by customizing the respective permissions during the implementation of the Software (e.g., restrictions on certain employees of the IT department, etc.). Without customization, all users who are internally authorized to use our customers' Microsoft 365 tools are also authorized to use the Software and are therefore data subjects within the meaning of this PrivacyPolicy.

If the group of users is restricted in this sense, however, other persons may also be among the data subjects whose data we have to process to a limited extent when providing our Software and Services. Since our Software is used for the administration of Microsoft 365 assets (e.g., Microsoft Teams, etc.), data of the users of these Microsoft 365 services are also processed to a limited extent.

The users of our Software, in particular, the contact persons indicated to us, are responsible for informing these other data subjects that we may process their data within the scope of this PrivacyPolicy.
