4. Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)
Where third-party service providers process data on our behalf (e.g., website hosting, form submission services, security monitoring), such providers act as processors under a Data Processing Agreement that ensures compliance with Swiss law, GDPR, and equivalent standards.
All processors are required to:
- respect confidentiality,

Data may be transferred internationally, including outside the EEA, strictly under mechanisms that ensure adequate protection (e.g., SCCs, Swiss equivalents, or adequacy decisions).
We do not sell or disclose personal data to commercial third parties.
