Privacy notice, terms of engagement, sanctions and anti-bribery policy, and the compliance framework under which Altus Procure operates. Last revised 14 February 2026.
Altus Procure AG ("Altus", "we", "our") is registered in Zürich, Switzerland (CHE-114.823.901). This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, retain and disclose personal data in the course of operating altusprocure.com and providing services to our clients and counterparties.
We may collect the following categories of personal data:
We rely on the following legal bases: (a) performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures; (b) compliance with a legal obligation; (c) our legitimate interests in the secure operation of our business; and (d) consent, where specifically obtained.
Personal data may be shared with: our group offices (Switzerland, Singapore, United Arab Emirates); regulated screening providers; legal counsel; and competent authorities where compelled by enforceable legal process. We do not sell personal data, ever, under any circumstances.
Where personal data is transferred outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area, we rely on adequacy decisions, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or equivalent safeguards.
We retain mandate records for ten (10) years following completion, in line with Swiss banking and commercial record-keeping standards. Compliance records are retained for the period required by applicable law.
You have the right to access, rectify, restrict, port and (in defined circumstances) erase your personal data. You may lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner or your local supervisory authority. To exercise any right, write to [email protected].
These Terms govern any procurement mandate placed with Altus Procure AG. They are supplemented by a written Mandate Letter signed by both parties; in the event of conflict, the Mandate Letter prevails.
Altus reserves the right to decline any prospective mandate without obligation to state grounds. Acceptance is communicated in writing only.
Every counterparty proposed under an Altus mandate is screened against OFAC, EU, UN, UK and Swiss SECO consolidated lists. We may decline to onboard counterparties at our sole discretion.
Fees are agreed on a mandate-by-mandate basis: success-based, hourly, retainer or hybrid. Out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursable at cost and itemised quarterly.
Both parties undertake to hold the existence, scope and outcome of any mandate in strict confidence, surviving termination indefinitely, except where disclosure is compelled by law or required to defend a legal claim.
Title and risk in any goods procured pass in accordance with the Incoterms designated in the mandate (typically DAP, DDP or FCA). Altus does not take title to goods unless explicitly contracted to do so.
Save in respect of death, personal injury, fraud or wilful misconduct, our aggregate liability under any mandate shall not exceed the fees paid in respect of that mandate over the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to liability.
These Terms and every Mandate Letter are governed by the substantive laws of Switzerland. The courts of the Canton of Zürich shall have exclusive jurisdiction, save that we may bring proceedings to enforce payment in any competent forum.
Altus Procure operates a zero-tolerance policy with respect to bribery and corruption. We comply with the Swiss Criminal Code (Art. 322), the UK Bribery Act 2010, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and equivalent legislation in each jurisdiction where we operate. Facilitation payments are prohibited absolutely.
We will not act for, or against, any party listed on the OFAC SDN list, the EU consolidated sanctions list, the UN consolidated list, the UK OFSI list, or the Swiss SECO list. Export-controlled goods are handled only under valid licences in the country of origin, transit and destination.
We require every counterparty to warrant compliance with the eight ILO core conventions. We exercise the right to audit, and have exercised that right in 17 mandates since 2022.
Procurement is conducted in alignment with ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement guidance. Where mandate scope permits, we report scope-3 emissions of the procured goods.
Any person — employee, counterparty or third party — may report a suspected breach in confidence to [email protected] or via our independent ombudsperson (details on request). Retaliation against good-faith reports is forbidden.
