For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out for users domiciled or domiciled in Switzerland that there are surveillance measures in place in the USA by US authorities, which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland to the USA. This is done without differentiation, limitation or exception on the basis of the objective pursued and without an objective criterion which makes it possible to restrict the access of the US authorities to the data and their subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes capable of justifying the interference with both access to and use of such data. In addition, we would like to point out that there are no remedies in the United States for the data subjects from Switzerland that allow them to gain access to the data concerning them and to obtain their rectification or deletion, or to obtain effective judicial protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly draw the attention of the data subject to this legal and factual situation in order to make a correspondingly informed decision to consent to the use of his data.
