I take note and accept the fact that telephone conversations with Cashflex MultiCredit Sàrl may be recorded, for example for quality control and training purposes, and that there are measures intended for the security of buildings and equipment (in particular video surveillance of buildings and of access to offices).

I also note that I could receive messages (e.g. newsletters, advertisements) on the phone numbers or addresses that I have communicated to Cashflex MultiCredit Sàrl. I am therefore reminded that I should not communicate my professional details to Cashflex MultiCredit Sàrl.

I take note and authorize CashFlex MultiCredit to communicate my personal details in order to be contacted by their exclusive insurance partners in order to optimize my file.

4. Data transmission

I acknowledge that the financing institution may process my data for the purpose of processing my application and for risk assessment and marketing purposes (data evaluation and profiling). In addition, other products and services, including those of the financing institution’s group companies and other third parties, may be offered to me by mail or telephone. I may revoke this processing of my data for marketing purposes at any time. By providing my e-mail address, I also agree that the financing institution may send me the above-mentioned offers by e-mail. In the context of open e-mail communication, I expressly accept the risk that my data may be intercepted or disclosed by third parties during transmission, or that unauthorized third parties may deduce from it the existence of a contractual relationship between the financing institution and myself and that, as a result, the protection of confidential information or bank-client confidentiality is not guaranteed. I may revoke my consent to the electronic sending of advertising messages at any time.

4.1 Financial institutions

I acknowledge and agree that Cashflex MultiCredit Sàrl may forward my application for consideration to Cembra Money Bank SA, Bank-now SA, CG24 or other partner banks or financial institutions (hereinafter individually referred to as the “financial institution”) by Internet, e-mail or fax/mail. I also acknowledge and confirm the following:

I authorize the financial institutions and Cashflex MultICredit Sàrl to process and analyze my data for marketing and risk management purposes, and to draw up profiles in this respect. I also authorize the financial institutions and Cashflex MultiCredit Sàrl to offer me other products and services (insurance services with Axa, Swica, Gestifin, etc.), including those of its group companies or business network (PrestaFlex, etc.). I may revoke my consent to the processing of my data for marketing or information purposes at any time.

4.2 Collaboration with intermediaries

I acknowledge that, in the case of applications submitted via an intermediary, the financing institution may exchange the necessary information with this intermediary in connection with the examination of the application/creditworthiness and the conclusion and execution of the contract (e.g. parameters and outcome of the application examination, submission of contractual documents, information on the status of the contract and payment behavior as well as the balance) and hereby release the financing institution from bank-client confidentiality in this connection and to the extent necessary.

4.3 Cooperation with service providers (outsourcing)
I acknowledge that the financial institution may outsource services to third parties (“service providers”), in particular in the areas of business process processing, IT security and systems control, market research and development, calculation of business-related credit and market risks, and administration of contractual relationships (e.g. application and contract processing, collection, customer communication). The financial institution provides these service providers with the data they need to fulfill their contractual obligations, and may also transmit this data abroad for this purpose. Service providers, their employees and subcontractors are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality. Service providers are generally located in Switzerland or within the EU/EEA, but may in principle be established anywhere in the world. If personal data is transferred to a country which, from Switzerland’s point of view, does not have an adequate level of data protection, the financing institution takes appropriate security measures to ensure that the data concerned is properly protected (in particular by applying standard data protection clauses).
I acknowledge that communication between the financing institution and myself or the intermediary may take place electronically. The intermediary and the financing institution cannot guarantee the confidentiality of data transmitted via the Internet. Third parties may therefore deduce the existence or imminent existence of a business relationship (possibly a banking relationship) between me and the financing institution.
For further information on the processing of personal data by the financial institution, please consult the data protection declaration on the financial institution’s website or contact the financial institution.

5. Authorization to request credit information

I confirm that all the information provided in my application is complete, up-to-date and accurate, and I authorize the financing institution to obtain information about me from third parties, in particular from banks, the Central Office for Credit Information (ZEK), authorities (e.g. debt-collection agencies, land registry offices, tax authorities, residents’ registration offices, child and adult protection authorities), tax authorities, etc., for the purpose of examining my application and carrying out the contractual relationship. This includes banks, the central credit information office (ZEK), authorities (e.g. debt enforcement agencies, land registry offices, tax authorities, residents’ registration offices, child and adult protection authorities), credit agencies, credit intermediaries, employers, companies belonging to the financing institution’s group and, where applicable, the consumer credit information center (IKO). For the aforementioned purposes, I hereby release these organizations from bank-client confidentiality, postal secrecy, official secrecy and business secrecy. I acknowledge that the financing institution is obliged, where applicable, to report any consumer leasing or consumer credit to be granted or granted to the Consumer Credit Information Center (IKO). I also authorize the financing institution to report this application to the ZEK and, in the event of corresponding legal obligations, to other bodies. In particular, the type, amount and terms of credit or financing, as well as the personal details of the lessee(s) and any qualified arrears or misuse of funds, will be reported. I acknowledge that the ZEK has the right to provide its members with information on the data submitted. The financing institution may refuse the application without giving reasons.
Request for a financial diagnosis or credit scoring/rating only at the express request of the customer. This includes in particular: ordering and commenting on the ZEK/IKO extract and the CRIF extract, drawing up a financial budget, advising on negative codes and lawsuits, etc. This service will be invoiced separately at a flat rate of CHF 250 per person (approx. 2 hours’ work) and in no way concerns the processing or preparation of a personal credit application, which is free of charge and without obligation.
