| 3 | 3 | ## A. General Note |
| 4 | 4 | |
| 5 | 5 | This Privacy Policy is aimed at worldwide users of WebPros websites and other online services (collectively the "Offerings"). To ensure a proper and secure handling of personal data handed over to us, WebPros has decided to make the principles of the **EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)** applicable to all its global entities as a common standard in addition to local privacy laws in effect. E.g. for Europe, both, the provisions of the GDPR and the provisions of the **Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG)** and the **UK General Data Protection Regulation** (for WHMCS) apply, whereas in the USA, the applicable privacy regulations per state apply. If your locally applicable data protection law grants you a level of data protection that exceeds that of the GDPR, this stricter level will also apply in the relationship between you and WebPros. However, the level of data protection provided by the GDPR will never be undercut. |
| 6 | 6 | |
| 7 | 7 | Insofar as the terms of the GDPR are used (e.g. "processing" or "personal data"), these are to be understood as having the same meaning in the sense of the Swiss DSG and/or your local data protection laws, insofar as this is objectively possible. |
| 15 | 15 | **Supplementary in accordance with Swiss data protection law**: |
| 16 | 16 | |
| 17 | 17 | Subjects resident in Switzerland or as far as the DSG applies, we comply with the requirements of Art. 16 et seq. DSG. Personal data is only transferred abroad if the country in question has an adequate level of data protection (e.g. the EU Member States, Japan, Canada and the USA for certain areas in accordance with the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) or appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the data, for example by concluding standard data protection clauses, contractual agreements or other suitable protective measures. |
| 18 | 18 | |
| 19 | 19 | Unless an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards are in place, data will only be transferred in exceptional cases, for example if it is necessary to fulfil a contract or if you have given your express consent. |
| 20 | 20 | |
| 21 | ## C. Joint Data Processing within the WebPros group | |
| 21 | **Supplementary in accordance with data protection laws in the United States:** | |

WebPros has certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework Principles (EU-U.S. DPF Principles) with regard to the processing of personal data received from the European Union in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and from the United Kingdom (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF.
