All SPS Companies are directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of Worldline. SPS Companies can outsource all or some of the processing of the Data and other services to Worldline or other subsidiaries (incl.

Each SPS Company reserves the right to disclose personal Data to the authorities and/or third parties in Switzerland or abroad if the SPS Company is obliged to make such disclosure by the applicable legal provisions.
As part of the execution of their contracts with customers, SPS Companies may cooperate with third parties (e.g. suppliers) that provide some of their services or produce some of their products outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland.
If such third parties could obtain access to Data as part of the execution of the contract, a respective SPS Company and the third party provider will enter into a written agreement ensuring data protection equivalent to the data protection level required by EU and Swiss data protection regulation.
Upon request, customers may view contractual arrangements (excerpts) a SPS Company has implemented with third parties that actually process such customer’s Data.
