These generally allow the recording of all personal data of persons whose data has been transmitted from Switzerland to the United States. This is done without differentiation, limitation or exception based on the aim pursued and without objective criteria making it possible to limit the access of the American authorities to the data and their subsequent use for very specific and strictly limited purposes likely to justify the infringement implied by access to these data as well as their use. In addition, we inform you that in the United States, there is no recourse for data subjects from Switzerland allowing you to have access to the data concerning you and to obtain their rectification or erasure, nor to effective legal protection against general access rights of US authorities.
