Impunix Live // Video surveillance - indoors and outdoors - what is allowed? (05/25)

Speakers: RA Volker Dohr (Impunix), Stefanie Meierhofer (Impunix)

According to the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) and the Labour Act (ArG), video surveillance is only permitted if it is proportionate, serves a clear purpose and is carried out transparently. Private individuals may only monitor their own property. Recordings in public spaces or of third parties violate personal rights and are not permitted. Surveillance in the workplace is also only permitted under strict conditions. Failure to inform the persons concerned may mean that the recordings are neither lawful nor usable. And may even be punishable under Art. 60 FADP. We will show you how to carry out video recordings correctly in terms of data protection and labour law.

About this webinar: This webinar will help you to understand why AI needs to be regulated in your company and what regulations you need to put in place.

Legitimate use of AI in the company
Principles, AI register - and notes and a guideline.

There are already various laws that regulate the use of AI in companies, for example the Data Protection Act, labour law and copyright law. Therefore, every company that uses AI must have rules for selecting and using the tools. In our webinar, we will discuss the most important aspects of the tools, current legislation and show you specifically what your company's guidelines should contain.

You will then receive a checklist for management and brief instructions for employees.

  1. Information security
  2. Order processing agreements
  3. International transfer

  5. Automated individual decisions
  6. Request for information
  7. Non-compliance with an order of the FDPIC
  8. Disclosure of secret personal data

On 4 September 2024, the Impunix Live webinar on "Correct advertising in the car trade" took place. In this webinar, Tahir Pardhan from the AGVS Legal Service reported on cases that concern the AGVS Legal Service. Volker Dohr and Marc Schwenninger lead through the topic, taking into account energy data and discounts, so that garages are not targeted by the trade police.

About this webinar: Advertising with vehicles is complex. Many garages receive warnings and penalty orders from the trade police or other groups. A number of standards must be observed in order to advertise correctly in the car trade. The "Impunix Live" webinar sheds light on how you can comply with the requirements of advertising law without risking fines and penalty orders:

  • Price Disclosure Ordinance (PBV)
  • Energy Ordinance (EnV)
  • Consumer Credit Act (KKG)
  • Act against Unfair Competition (UWG)
  • Information on the energy label (VEE-PW)
  • Road Traffic Act (SVG)
  • Telecommunications Act (TCA)

What you will learn: Insight into advertising law specifically for online presences.
Risk management: Recognise common legal stumbling blocks on retailer websites and how you can avoid them.
Practical tools: Checklist for checking your website for compliance issues.
Interactive Q&A: Ask your questions directly to our experts and benefit from immediate answers and solutions.

The Impunix Live webinar on "Information security - 10 immediate measures for garages" took place on 3 July 2024. In this webinar, Felix Wyss, President of Carrosserie Schweiz & CEO/VRP of Aarauer Carrosserie Werke, gave an impressive account of his experiences with a hacker attack in which data was encrypted and a ransom was demanded. In particular, he emphasised how important it is to take care of your own cyber security. Micha Strässler and Leo Krähenbühl also presented 10 immediate measures to increase cyber security.

Central topics and learning content:

  • Cybersecurity is a top priority:

Just because you have a clean outsourcing contract with an IT service provider doesn't mean you should sit back and relax. Cyber security is a matter for the boss and must be managed independently.

  • Prevention:

It is worth investing in prevention in order to be well prepared in the event of an incident.

  • Emergency plan:

An emergency plan on paper with documentation and access points increases your own ability to act and reduces the recovery time.
Backup and recovery: The backup and, above all, the regularly tested recovery of data is the life insurance of an SME.

  • Cyber insurance:

The financial damage is only part of the burden of a hacker attack, and cyber insurance can cover this part, but this alone is not enough.
Sensitisation and

  • Training:

Most attacks start with a phishing e-mail. It is therefore important to regularly sensitise employees to IT security, for example with a phishing simulation in which employees' reactions can be tested in a secure environment.

  • Regular updates:

Attackers look for easy targets, leave no unnecessary doors open and regularly update the systems.

On 5 June 2024, Impunix held a live webinar on the topic of "Identifying legal pitfalls with dealer & retailer websites". In this session, our experienced speakers, lawyer Dr Marc Schwenninger and lawyer Volker Dohr, shed light on key legal aspects that operators of brand and dealer websites should consider.

Central topics and learning content:

  • Imprint:

The necessity of a correct imprint and the risks of incorrect information.

  • Legal provisions:

How general terms and conditions (GTC) must be legally compliant.
