VIII. Sharing Your Personal Information with Third Parties and Data Handling in General
We protect personal data through appropriate technical and organizational security measures and store them on secure servers. The website is protected against manipulation by the usual state-of-the-art measures and against access, modification or distribution by unauthorized persons. This includes taking data protection aspects into account as early as the planning phase of our services (“privacy by design”), and our new products or services are offered with data protection-friendly default settings (“privacy by default”).
It is our policy not to share your personal information with third parties in ways unrelated to those described in Section V without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out or otherwise object to such unrelated uses. However, we may disclose your personal information to third parties, without notice if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so to:
- Comply with any laws, regulations, or obligations;
- Identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms & Conditions or our other policies and procedures;
- Protect ourselves, our Users, and the general public;
- Enable us to engage in a corporate transaction or reorganization, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, asset sale, joint venture, assignment, restricting, dissolution, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, or some other similar proceeding;
- Report suspicious behavior to law enforcement authorities and other governmental, administrative, or regulatory agencies; and
- Cooperate, to the extent required by applicable law, with lawful criminal, civil, or administrative process, discovery requests, subpoenas, court orders, warrants, writs, or other reasonable requests of authorities or persons with reasonable power to obtain such process.
We may share your personal information with any third party for any other reason with your consent.
You authorize us to fully or partially contract third parties whose intervention seems to be opportune for the proper development of the services provided through the Site. In this case, we are obliged to the subcontracted party to undersign a contract which stipulates the obligations the latter must fulfil regarding the personal data protection, by using standard agreements which are in compliance with the European and Swiss legislation. In particular, said third party will be required to comply with the same data protection obligations as those which we have promised to our Users, as well as sufficient guarantees that it shall apply the appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that the data use conforms to the applicable regulations. We will be diligent in its selection of providers via the application of legally compliant verification mechanisms, with the objective of minimizing as much as possible the risks which may affect the security of the information which the third party may access.
In general, when handling your personal data, we comply with the applicable data protection regulations, which, in particular, state the following rights:
- Right of access and right to information: The right of access allows Users to find out about and obtain, free of charge, information about their personal data which is being handled. You may ask us to show you the information about you which we store.
- Right of notification: Should the provisions on the protection of personal data be violated, the person affected by the violation will be informed, provided that this entails a legally sufficient risk for personal rights and freedoms.
- Right of rectification: This right is so-called because it allows you to correct errors, modify any data which may be inaccurate or incomplete, and to guarantee the exactness of the data being handled. You must inform us of any changes in your data and you are the party responsible for updating your information.
- Right of erasure/deletion/omission (“right to be forgotten”): You have the right to request that personal data relating to you be deleted immediately and the personal data must be deleted immediately if one of the reasons listed in the Swiss or European legislation applies, for example that the data are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected.

You may oppose the handling of your data by indicating the specific purposes to which you object. Subsequently, the data may no longer be processed, unless the data processor can prove compelling reasons for the processing which are worthy of protection and which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him/her for the purposes of such advertising, including profiling in so far as it is related to such direct marketing.
- Right to Portability: The right to portability allows you to request from us a copy of your personal data in a commonly used, machine readable, structured format.

X. Our Commitment to Data Security.
We take commercially reasonable measures to protect the transmission of all User information. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party ‘hackers’ from illegally obtaining this information. We take reasonable measures to prevent such breaches of security. However, given the resourcefulness of cyber-criminals, we are unable to guarantee that our security is completely breach-proof. You assume the risk of such breaches to the extent that they occur despite our reasonable security measures.
Further, other than what is stated hereunder, we do not provide User information to third parties; nor will we sell, rent, or provide any of your information to other entities such as advertisers, or other companies selling services similar to this Company’s services.

If you access a third party’s site, we encourage you to read and understand such site’s policies and procedures.
