Your Personal Data may be processed within Switzerland, the European Union or the European Economic Area (hereinafter „EU/EEA„) but may also be processed in and transferred to a country outside of Switzerland, EU or EEA, for example the USA (list further potential recipient countries).

If we transfer data to a country without adequate legal data protection, we ensure an adequate level of protection as provided for by law by using appropriate contracts (namely on the basis of the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission) or we rely on the legal exceptions of consent, the performance of a contract, the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims, overriding public interests, published Personal Data or because it is necessary to protect the integrity of the data subjects. We would like to point out that data transmitted abroad is no longer protected by Swiss law and foreign laws as well as official orders may require the disclosure of this data to authorities and other third parties.

As soon as Your Personal Data are no longer required for the above-referenced purposes, they will be set inactive, deleted or anonymised as far as possible.

Under the data protection law applicable to You and to the extent provided for, You have the right to information, rectification, erasure, the right to restrict data processing and otherwise to object to our data processing as well as to the handover of certain Personal Data for transfer to another location (so-called data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert the statutory restrictions on our part, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, if we have an overriding interest in this (to the extent we are entitled to rely on such interest) or if we need the data in order to assert claims. If this results in costs for You, we will inform You in advance.

If data processing is based on Your consent, after giving Your consent You may withdraw it at any time with future effect. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of Your consent prior to Your withdrawal of consent.

The exercise of such rights generally requires that You clearly prove Your identity (e.g. by means of a copy of an identification document, where Your identity is otherwise unclear or cannot be verified). In order to assert Your rights, You may contact us at the address specified in Section 1 of this privacy policy.

In addition, every data subject has the right to enforce his/her rights in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
