III. General information on data processing

1. Principles

We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for the operation of the website and the provision of our content and services. Processing is based on the user’s consent, or where permitted by law without prior consent.

2. Legal bases

  • Consent: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR / Art. 31 FADP
  • Contract performance: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR

3. Data retention

Personal data is deleted or anonymised as soon as the purpose for which it was collected no longer exists, subject to statutory retention obligations.

4. Data transfers outside the EU/Switzerland

The only potential transfers outside the EU/Switzerland concern Google reCAPTCHA (see section XII), whose data may transit through Google servers in the United States. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), in force since July 2023, which constitutes an appropriate safeguard for this transfer under Art. 46 GDPR.

All other services used are hosted in Switzerland or the EU. Should future affiliate programmes involving US-based providers (Amazon, Awin) be activated, this section will be updated accordingly.
