Our Privacy Policy explains the handling, the purpose of the collection and the use of personal data by Axonalliance Gross. In doing so, we comply with the legal provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesgesetz über den Datenschutz DSG), the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (Verordnung zum Bundesgesetz über den Datenschutz VDSG), the Telecommunications Act (Fernmeldegesetzes FMG) and any other applicable data protection provisions of Swiss or EU law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (Datenschutzgrundverordnung DSGVO).

The protection and security of personal data relates to visits to our website (www.axonalliance.com) and all other work that we perform on behalf of our customers. The personal data collected and processed in the process are collected, processed, and used in accordance with currently valid regulations.

As a visitor to this website, we inform you which data we collect during your visit and how we use it, if applicable. In addition, you will learn how we handle the personal data entrusted to us on behalf of our customers and what measures we take together with our partners to protect personal data from manipulation, loss, destruction, and misuse. Please note that due to (still) unknown security vulnerabilities in software and transmission protocols, Axonalliance Gross is not able to guarantee fully comprehensive security in case of hacker attacks exploiting these security vulnerabilities.

Data processing in connection with our website

1 What data do we collect when you visit our website?
When you visit our website, our servers temporarily store every access in a log file. The following technical data is collected without your intervention, as is generally the case with every connection to a web server, and is stored by us until it is automatically deleted:

• - the IP address of the requesting computer,
• - the date and time of access,
• - the Internet page from which the access was made (referrer URL), if necessary with the search word used,
• - the name and URL of the file accessed,
• - the status code (e.g., error message),
• - the name of your host provider,
• - details of the user agent,
• - information about the amount of data,
• - log data.

The collection and processing of this data is carried out for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (connection establishment), to ensure system security and system stability on a permanent basis and to enable the optimization of our Internet offering as well as for internal statistical purposes. This is our legitimate interest in data processing.

The IP address is also evaluated together with the other data in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorized or abusive Internet site use for the purpose of clarification and defense and, if necessary, used in the context of criminal proceedings for identification and civil and criminal action against the users concerned. The processing of this information is in our legitimate interest to track your visit to our website and to improve the website accordingly.

2 Communication via e-mail
When contacting us via e-mail, the collection, processing, and use of your voluntarily provided contact data such as title, first name, surname, e-mail address, telephone number and company will be exclusively for the intended purpose. Either for recording and, if necessary, answering your inquiry as well as for technical administration.

Since communication by e-mail usually takes place via unsecured data connection, avoid sending confidential information. The received e-mails are stored in the mailboxes of the corresponding mail addresses.

We use these cookies, for example, to present our website in a visitor-friendly manner and to ensure usability by visitors.

Storage and exchange of data with third parties

4 Will my data be passed on to other third parties?
We will only pass on your personal data to other third parties if you have expressly consented to this, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship. In addition, we pass on your data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of the use of the website and the execution of the contract (also outside the website).

A service provider to whom the personal data collected via the Internet pages are passed on or who has or may have access to them is our web host METANET AG, Josefstrasse 218, 8005 Zürich. The Internet pages are hosted on servers in Switzerland. The cooperation with the web host provider is necessary for the use of the website and is accordingly in our legitimate interest.

What happens when accessing third-party sites via links provided by us? On our website you will find some links to third-party sites or partner companies. When accessing the third-party sites via the links provided by us, information, which may include personal information, is sent to the respective website operator and may be used by them. We have no influence on the use of the data by the third-party provider.

For more information about the use of data by our partner companies, please refer to the respective privacy policy of the provider.

5 Use of data for marketing purposes
We only use customer data from a nascent or existing business relationship for marketing purposes. We only collect your business-related and invoice-relevant data such as title, first name, last name, language, business telephone number, business e-mail address, position, company, company address and country. We only collect private data such as private address or date of birth in cases where these have been explicitly transmitted to us by you on a voluntary basis.

Data from contact forms, e-mails or telephone inquiries are only used for marketing purposes if the inquiry involves a possible business cooperation. Data resulting from job applications will not be used for marketing purposes.

You can also object to the general use of your personal data for marketing purposes at any time. Similarly, you can revoke any consent you may have given separately. A notification in text form to philip.gross@axonalliance.com or by letter to our business address is sufficient for this purpose.

6 Other
6.1 You have a right of access, rectification, erasure, and restriction of processing, as well as data portability.
Philip Gross, philip.gross@axonalliance.com, is responsible for the data processing activities we carry out here. If you have any data protection concerns, you can send them to us at the following contact address philip.gross@axonalliance.com.

You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we hold about you upon request. In addition, you have the right to have incorrect data corrected and the right to have your personal data deleted, insofar as this does not conflict with a legal obligation to retain the data or an authorization that allows us to process the data.

You also have the right to demand that we return those data that you have handed over to us (right to data portability). Upon request, we will also transfer the data to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a common file format.

You can reach us for the aforementioned purposes via the e-mail address at philip.gross@axonalliance.com. We may, at our discretion, require proof of identity to process your requests.

In many countries, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you have concerns about how we process your data. You may also contact us at any time in this regard.

The aforementioned rights depend on the applicable data protection legislation and may therefore be either more limited or more comprehensive.

For information, deletion, or modification of data, please send your request to the following address:

Axonalliance Gross Philip Gross Bürgermatt 2 6343 Holzhäusern philip.gross@axonalliance.com

6.2 Is your data secure with us?
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

You should always keep your access data confidential and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share the computer, tablet, or smartphone with others.

We also take internal company data protection very seriously. Our employees and the service companies we commission have been obligated by us to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of data protection law.

6.3 Does the same protection exist when data is transferred to the USA?
For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out for users who are resident or domiciled in Switzerland that in the USA there are surveillance measures by US authorities which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland to the USA. This is done without any differentiation, limitation or exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective criterion that would make it possible to limit the access of the U.S. authorities to the data and their subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that are capable of justifying the intrusion associated both with the access to these data and with their use. In addition, we would like to point out that in the USA there are no legal remedies available to data subjects from Switzerland that would allow you to gain access to the data concerning you and to obtain its correction or deletion, or that there is no effective judicial legal protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly draw your attention to this legal and factual situation in order to enable you to make an appropriately informed decision about consenting to the use of your data.

We would like to point out to users who are domiciled or resident in a member state of the EU or Switzerland that the USA does not have a sufficient level of data protection from the point of view of the European Union - among other things due to the issues mentioned in this section.

6.4 CWhich law do we apply? And where is the law applied?
This Privacy Policy and the contracts concluded based on or in connection with this Privacy Policy are governed by Swiss law, unless the law of another country is mandatorily applicable. The place of jurisdiction is at the registered office of Axonalliance Gross, unless another place of jurisdiction is mandatorily specified.

6.5 Can this declaration be amended?
If individual parts of this data protection declaration are invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the rest of the data protection declaration. The invalid part of the data protection declaration shall be replaced in such a way that it comes as close as possible to the economically intended purpose of the invalid part.

Due to the further development of our website and offers or due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this data protection declaration. The current data protection declaration is published on our website.
