Privacy policy

In EU countries, the current relevant legislation is the EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data; similarly, in Switzerland, the current relevant legislation is the Federal Act on Data Protection RS 235.1 (FADP or LPD) of 25 September 2022 and in United Kingdom the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and UK-GDPR 2020 (together, commonly known as UK-GDPR).

These Regulations set out precise rules for the protection of natural persons and other subjects with regard to data processing. According to the law, data must be processed and subsequently stored in accordance with principles of necessity, fairness, lawfulness and transparency, and the protection of the privacy and rights of the data subjects.
