Where GDPR applies, processing is based on performance of a contract, legal obligations, legitimate interests, or consent.

5. TRANSPORTATION PARTNERS

GTS Executive Chauffeur Services acts as a booking and coordination platform. To fulfill a booking, we disclose necessary details to the selected independent partner:

  • Passenger name and telephone number

  • Pickup location, destination, date, and time

  • Flight/train information, passenger count, luggage details, and special instructions

We limit shared information strictly to what is necessary. Transportation partners are independently responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws.

We use third-party service providers to support our operations. These may include providers for:

  • Website hosting and IT/cybersecurity

  • Email, communication, and customer support tools

  • Payment processing, accounting, and invoicing

Providers process data solely as necessary under contractual and legal safeguards. We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties.

7. PAYMENTS

Payments are processed through authorized third-party payment service providers under their own privacy policies. Global Trust Solutions AG only receives transactional confirmation data:

  • Customer name & billing information

  • Transaction amount, date, status, and reference ID

GTS does not receive or store complete payment card details when processed directly by the payment provider.

8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Because GTS coordinates transportation across Switzerland and Europe, data may be disclosed to international partners or service providers outside Switzerland/EEA.

Where personal data is transferred internationally to a country without an adequate level of data protection, Global Trust Solutions AG implements appropriate safeguards, such as recognized Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), in accordance with FDPIC guidelines and applicable law.

Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
