A. General Note
This Privacy Policy is aimed at worldwide users of WebPros websites and other online services (collectively the “Offerings”). To ensure a proper and secure handling of personal data handed over to us, WebPros has decided to make the principles of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applicable to all its global entities as a common standard in addition to local privacy laws in effect. E.g. for Europe, both, the provisions of the GDPR and the provisions of the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) apply, whereas in the USA, the applicable privacy regulations per state apply. If your locally applicable data protection law grants you a level of data protection that exceeds that of the GDPR, this stricter level will also apply in the relationship between you and WebPros. However, the level of data protection provided by the GDPR will never be undercut.
Insofar as the terms of the GDPR are used (e.g. "processing" or "personal data"), these are to be understood as having the same meaning in the sense of the Swiss DSG and/or your local data protection laws, insofar as this is objectively possible.
The aim of this Privacy Policy is to ensure the protection of your personal data in accordance with the fundamental requirements of the GDPR and the Swiss DSG.
B. Third Country Transfer
Data processing also includes disclosure by transmission to third parties and, where applicable, to so-called third countries outside the European Union ("EU") and the European Economic Area ("EEA"). Where we transfer data to countries outside the EU or the EEA, we have labelled this below. In the case of data transfer within our group of undertakings, there are generally adequacy decisions by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR for the countries in which our group company is located, namely Switzerland, Japan and Canada. In the case of data transfer to our group company based in the USA, such company is certified under Data Privacy Framework standards, a data processing agreement is in place and there are corresponding EU standard contractual clauses.
Supplementary in accordance with Swiss data protection law:
Subjects resident in Switzerland or as far as the DSG applies, we comply with the requirements of Art. 16 et seq. DSG. Personal data is only transferred abroad if the country in question has an adequate level of data protection (e.g. the EU Member States, Japan, Canada and the USA for certain areas in accordance with the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) or appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the data, for example by concluding standard data protection clauses, contractual agreements or other suitable protective measures.
Unless an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards are in place, data will only be transferred in exceptional cases, for example if it is necessary to fulfil a contract or if you have given your express consent.
C. Joint Data Processing within the WebPros group
1. Joint Data Processing
Most backup tools are reactive. They wait for something to break before they respond. That’s like wearing a seatbelt after the crash.
Predictive AI recovery changes that. By analyzing patterns across workloads, devices, and time zones, Comet’s system can now forecast where performance bottlenecks may appear — especially in large MSP networks handling multiple clients.
We’ve already seen a 37% reduction in restore time and 24% faster incremental backups in early testing. That’s efficiency your clients can feel — without any manual configuration.
As we continue refining this model, we’re exploring how AI can help allocate storage dynamically, ensuring every user gets the fastest, most reliable backup experience possible.
