Other recipients/service providers include advertising agencies, IT specialists, database providers, backup and disaster recovery specialists, email providers or outsourced call centers. Our suppliers and service providers will be required to meet our standards on processing information and security. The information we provide them, including your information, will only be provided in connection with the performance of their function.
Your personal data may be transferred to other third-party organizations in certain scenarios:

Your information will not be sold, exchanged, or shared with any third parties without your consent, except to provide SWAP.RABBIT.IO Services or as required by law.
If a service provider is located in a country that does not apply the standard of data protection of Swiss law and GDPR, SWAP.RABBIT.IO will use a contract to ensure that your personal data has the same level of protection as if protected in accordance with Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and EU General Data Protection Regulation.
