Discretion Statement

At Byond AG, discretion is not a policy; it is the bedrock of our existence. As trusted advisors to the world's most discerning organizations and leaders, we operate with an implicit understanding that confidentiality is the currency of trust. This statement outlines the principles that govern every interaction, mandate, and communication we undertake.

1. The Principle of Absolute Confidentiality

Our commitment to discretion is absolute and unconditional. It extends to our clients, prospective clients, candidates, and sources. Information shared with Byond is held in the strictest confidence, protected by robust operational protocols and the personal integrity of every member of our firm.

2. Client Confidentiality

We recognize that our search mandates are linked to the strategic imperatives of our clients. Therefore:

• Client identity and the nature of our engagement are never disclosed without explicit, prior authorization.
• All strategic information, including organizational structure, financial data, and future plans, is treated as privileged communication.
• We establish secure, mutually agreed-upon communication channels to ensure the integrity of all shared information.

3. Candidate & Source Confidentiality

The privacy and career security of the exceptional individuals we interact with are paramount. We guarantee:

• A candidate's identity or personal details are never shared with a client without the candidate's express consent for that specific opportunity.
• Initial approaches are made with the utmost subtlety and respect for the individual's current professional obligations.
• Information provided by sources and references is treated with the same level of confidentiality as client and candidate data, ensuring the protection of our entire network.

4. Data Security & Swiss Precision

Operating from Switzerland, a nation synonymous with privacy and security, we adhere to the highest standards of data protection. Our digital and physical security measures are rigorous and designed to prevent any unauthorized access or breach of information. Our protocols are aligned with the principles of leading global data protection regulations, including the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and GDPR.

5. An Enduring Obligation

Our duty of discretion does not conclude at the end of a mandate. It is a perpetual obligation that we uphold indefinitely for all clients and candidates we have had the privilege of serving. The trust placed in us is a permanent bond we are committed to honoring.

This statement represents the core of the Byond promise. It is how we have achieved a 100% success rate and maintained lasting partnerships built on a foundation of unassailable trust. For inquiries regarding our discretion protocols, please contact our leadership through a pre-verified channel.
