We may transfer your data to third parties (contracted service providers) based abroad for the purposes of the data processing described in this Privacy Policy.
Such third-party companies are obliged to protect the privacy of individuals to the same extent as we do.

Note on data transfers to the USA
Some of the third-party service providers mentioned in this Privacy Policy are based in the USA. For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out for users who are resident or domiciled in Switzerland or the EU that there are surveillance measures in place in the USA by US authorities, which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland or the EU to the USA. This is done without any differentiation, limitation or exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective criterion that would make it possible to limit the access of the US authorities to the data and their subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that are capable of justifying the intrusion associated with both the access to and the use of this data. Furthermore, we would like to point out that in the USA, data subjects from Switzerland or the EU do not have any legal remedies that allow them to obtain access to the data concerning them and to obtain their correction or deletion, or that there is no effective judicial legal protection against general access rights of US authorities.
We would like to point out to users who are resident in Switzerland or a member state of the EU that the USA does not have a sufficient level of data protection from the point of view of the European Union and Switzerland - among other things due to the issues mentioned in this section. Insofar as we have explained in this Privacy Policy that recipients of data (such as Google) are based in the USA, we will ensure through contractual arrangements with these companies, as well as any additional appropriate guarantees required, that your data is protected with our partners at an appropriate level.
