Besides performance of the Agreement, Analyzed User Material will also be used to train algorithms. For such usage we have collected Analyzed Users explicit consent.
If Analyzed User has given his consent to the processing of Analyzed User Materials for certain purposes, we will process Analyzed User Materials within the scope of and based on this consent, insofar as we have no other legal basis and we require such a basis. A given consent can be revoked for the future at any time.
Transfer. As part of our Services, we may disclose Analyzed User Materials to third parties, auxiliaries and other business partners, to related parties, and other persons in Switzerland, the EU or other countries for the purposes set out above (train algorithms).
If we transfer Analyzed User Materials to a country without adequate legal data protection, we ensure an adequate level of protection by means of data transfer agreements (namely on the basis of the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission) or rely on the statutory exceptions of consent, contract and mandate processing, the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims, overriding public interests, published personal data or because it is necessary to protect the integrity of the data subjects.
