7. International Data Transfers

To offer our services, we may transfer your personal data to jurisdictions outside the country where it was originally provided, including transferring data from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries within the EEA.

We may transfer your data to Switzerland, where our services (such as encrypted mail and encrypted data cloud) are hosted.

We are dedicated to protecting your personal data. We have implemented robust security measures, including encryption, access controls, and regular audits to ensure the safety and confidentiality of your information. However, please be aware that no method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
