We may engage third parties or affiliates to process your data, such as:
- Accounting, fiduciary, and auditing firms
- Consulting firms (legal, tax, etc.)
- IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, etc.)
- Payment service providers

We ensure these parties comply with data protection regulations and treat your data confidentially. Additionally, we may be required to disclose your data to government authorities.
b. Social Media Channels
We may include links to our social media channels on our website, which are identifiable by their icons. When you click these icons, you are redirected to our social media pages, and the social media provider may collect data about your visit. We do not have control over the data collected by these providers.
c. Data Transfers Abroad
In some cases, your personal data may be transferred to companies outside Switzerland for processing. These companies are required to protect your data to the same extent as we do. Transfers may occur globally, and if the data protection level is not equivalent to that in Switzerland, we conduct a risk assessment and ensure appropriate contractual protections are in place. If our risk assessment indicates, we will implement additional technical measures to protect your data.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Data collected during your website visit is stored for twelve months, except for analysis and tracking data, which may be retained longer.
Contractual data is stored for longer periods as required by law, particularly for business communications, contracts, and accounting records, which must be retained for up to 10 years. Once such data is no longer needed for service provision, it will be blocked and used only for accounting and tax purposes.
3.6 Data Protection Measures
We take all reasonable steps to protect your data from loss, access, misuse, or alteration. Our employees and contractual partners with access to your data are bound by data protection obligations. If necessary, we may pass on your requests to our affiliated companies, ensuring your data is treated confidentially.
