Furthermore, any guarantee and liability for the completeness, currency, and accuracy of the information displayed on the user's end device are excluded.
Provided that CSPC has exercised due care in the provision of its services, its liability will be limited to the direct losses of the customer

Data Protection Statement Regarding the Use of SecureCode

By accessing the information and functions provided by SecureCode, the user agrees to the following Data Protection Statement. It is not possible to use SecureCode without agreeing to this Data Protection Statement.

The processing of customers' personal data by CREDIT SUISSE (Switzerland) Ltd. (hereafter CSPC) is subject to Swiss data protection legislation. The App is developed and operated by Opentech Software Engineering srl in Rome, Italy (hereafter «Opentech») on behalf of CSPC. The user declares their consent that personal data related to the use of the App (card balance, information regarding load amounts, card replacements, and card closures as well as transactions conducted) are transmitted by CSPC or Mastercard, respectively, to Opentech and processed by the latter.

The personal data is processed and stored by Opentech in Italy. CSPC has contractually obliged Opentech to safeguard Swiss and Liechtenstein bank customer confidentiality, respectively. The customer acknowledges that any transmission of data to Opentech in connection with the present declaration of consent is governed by Italian law and the data is therefore not comprehensively protected by Swiss or Liechtenstein law, respectively, or by the principles of Swiss or Liechtenstein bank customer confidentiality, respectively. Italian laws and regulations do not necessarily ensure the same level of confidentiality, bank customer secrecy, or data protection as Swiss or Liechtenstein law, respectively, and may stipulate that Opentech must partly or entirely disclose the data to authorities or to other third parties.

The confidentiality of personal data remains guaranteed at all times. Opentech may use the personal data according to the contractual provisions between the user and CSPC exclusively.

Every online payment made with SecureCode is subject to the current Terms of Use and the current Data Protection Statement. They can be viewed online during the payment process. Alternatively, on request of the Cardholder, they will be provided by CSPC on paper.
