Note about Data Transfer to the USA

This is done without any differentiation, limitation or exception, and without an objective criterion that would limit the US authorities' access to the data and its subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes, to justify access to this data as well as to interfere with their use.
Furthermore, we would like to point out that in the USA there are no legal remedies available for the persons concerned from Switzerland which would allow them to obtain access to the data or to obtain their rectification or deletion. There is no effective legal protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly inform the person concerned about this legal and factual situation in order for them to make a correspondingly informed decision to consent to the use of his data.
Users residing in EU member states, please note that, from the point of view of the European Union, the US does not have sufficient data protection levels due among other things to the issues mentioned in this section.
