Furthermore, it may be the case that, although the sender and the recipient are both located in Switzerland, the data may pass through foreign countries with a level of data protection that is lower than that in Switzerland. Consequently, Chocolat Frey AG accepts no liability/responsibility as regards the security of data during transfers via the Internet.
