Any third party, insofar as a court or official order or the law requires us to do so.

We take steps to ensure that the data covered by this Privacy Policy is processed in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy and the requirements of applicable law, wherever the data is located.

Your data is stored in Switzerland and is generally also processed in Switzerland. However, depending on the service provider, it is possible that your data may be processed outside of Switzerland.

If we transfer your data from Switzerland to other countries outside the European Economic Area, we will do so exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection law by concluding appropriate data transfer agreements and standard clauses with the recipients concerned.

6. How do we protect your data?

We are committed to ensuring the security of your data.

We use various technologies and procedures to adequately protect your data from unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure, depending on the sensitivity of the information.

We store the data that you actively transmit to us for as long as required according to the purpose (e.g. your email address for as long as you are subscribed to a newsletter) and beyond this insofar as there is a legal obligation to store the data or we retain data until any related claims have lapsed (e.g. data in connection with orders and delivery of products or services).
