GDPR or stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Thanks to this new Data Protection Act, in effect as of May 25, 2018 in all EU member states, companies that process personal data hold greater responsibility. Good news for you: eyevip is already DSGVO compliant since 2018 and therefore fulfills the most important requirements set by the new Swiss data protection law.

Basically, the General Data Protection Regulation applies to all companies that are based in the EU. However, in the following cases you are also subject to this new regulation with an office outside the EU:

• You have a branch located within the EU
• You process personal data of EU citizens (natural persons) that reside in the EU

The GDPR concerns you, if you invite a private person, for example from Germany or France, to your event in Switzerland. In this case you process the data of these respective individuals which means that yes, you are definitely accountable for the new data protection laws.

Personal data includes all general information referring to who you are, your current situation, including data stemming from your personal life, appearance or behavior, health and workplace:

• Date of Birth
• E-Mail-Address
• Civil Status
• Address
• Account Data
• Political Opinion
• Religion
• IP Address
• Browser Cookies
• Photos
• Hair Color
• Height / Weight
• Medical History
• Fitness Statistics
• Time Recording
• Wage
• Testimonies

Yes, absolutely. If within your invitations you ask your guests for additional information – including info on flight bookings, hotel accommodation, program participation or car rentals – you will need the consent of your guests. It is particularly important that you inform your guests upfront about which data will be processed and for what purpose. eyevip enables you to link to your own privacy policy directly within the registration form.

Basically, you should only ask for the information that is directly relevant and required in the context of your guest management. Of course that's not always easy - sometimes allergies, disabilities or religion can play a role and enable you to plan your event accordingly (i.e. menu selection, barrier-free access, prayer rooms, etc.). The ground rule here being: less is more.

Absolutely. Within eyevip, checkboxes for the opt-out rule are included as standard in every template so that your guests can easily unsubscribe from your communication. It works just like your newsletter communication, which you probably already do outside of eyevip.

We place high importance on data protection and data security.You control which data is stored in eyevip. Both your data and the data of your guests remain in Switzerland and will not be passed on to third parties. All data is encrypted on Finma-compliant infrastructures (ISO-27001) in Switzerland. Upon request, customer accounts can be hosted exclusively on EU servers.

Since eyevip’s inception, we have had 99.95% uptime with the aim of achieving a 98.98%. To compare that’s on par with other large platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Netflix. However, like any web-based system, if you cannot connect to the internet or if we are down for a short period of time, you will not be able to access your data during that period.

Our servers are located in two geo-redundant Finma-compliant ISO-27001 data centers in Switzerland. Due to our respective clients in the insurance and banking industries we regularly conduct security assessments (independent safety assessments) and pen reviews (software security checks). On request, we can also set up eyevip on a server within the EU.

Depending on your licensing model, support is already included in your annual fee. Should support not be included in your licensing model, we offer various support packages.

Our standard support packages include the following services:

• Conception
• Design
• Programming (change requests, small new developments)
• All senior level, on an hourly basis
• First-, Second- und Third-Level Support
  (9:00 am - 5:00 pm, on working days in Zürich)

However, if you send your invitation on a Tuesday at 10:00 am you will likely be more successful with the most e-mails opened compared to any other day or time of the week.

Through individualized adjustments, users only see what they are authorized to see. More specifically users are only granted access to edit, create, or delete areas within the event where accessibility has been permitted.
