Thank you for visiting the Smartlis website of Lab Technologies SA. We understand that protecting the privacy of our visitors is very important. That's why we have taken the necessary steps to meet worldwide data privacy requirements with the aim of safeguarding and preserving the privacy of our website visitors. This policy applies to personal data collected from Lab Technologies online resources and communications (such as websites, e-mail, other online tools) that display a link to this policy.

Some data you provide to us may be transferred to or stored in a geographic region which imposes different privacy obligations than those of EU and Swiss laws. In such cases (e.g. Google Analytics) we will ensure that this export is done on the basis of contract model clauses.

We do not store the personal data for longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the related processing purposes. The storage period depends on the type of personal data, the purposes and the applicable law and therefore varies per use.
