We primarily store and process data within Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA). If data is transferred outside these regions (e.g., for backup or specific service providers), we ensure adequate safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your personal data in compliance with Swiss and/or EU regulations.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy or comply with legal obligations. Once no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize your data.
