This includes, in particular, the following personal data and takes place in the following situations for the purposes listed below:<\/span><\/p>

    • Visiting our website<\/span><\/li>
    • Log data<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      When visiting our website technical data is collected. This data includes your IP address, or the IP address of your Internet service provider, the homepage (website from which you accessed our website), the browser type, the operating system and platform, the pages visited under www.axpo.com, as well as the time and date of access (referred to as «connection data»).

      Cookies<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

      This website also uses cookies to track website usage. Cookies are small data files that a web portal leaves on your computer, tablet, or smart phone when you visit the site. By using cookies, the website can \u201cremember\u201d certain inputs and settings (e.g. login, language, font size and other preferences) over a certain period of time, and you do not have to re-enter these parameters when returning to the site or navigating the portal. We use cookies on our website to analyse website usage. On our website, we use cookies to record your participation in a survey on the usefulness of content (so you are not asked again by the pop-up window), or your decision to (or not to) use all or part of the cookies on this portal. Some of the videos embedded on our web pages also use cookies to generate anonymous statistics on the previously visited pages and videos selected.<\/span><\/p>

      The information collected with the help of cookies is not used to identify you, and cookies are only used for the purposes described in this privacy policy. It is not absolutely necessary to accept cookies in order to use the website, but it makes Internet surfing easier. You can change the cookie settings at any time during your visit to our site via our cookie management tool. You can block or delete cookies in your web browser. You can consult:\u00a0aboutcookies.org for further information.<\/span><\/p>

      You can delete all the cookies on your computer and set most browsers so that they will not accept cookies. However, you may then have to manually adjust certain settings each time you access a particular web page, which may result in the impairment of some functions.<\/span><\/p>

      Web analysis, tracking and marketing automation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

      Web analysis tools are used for the anonymous analysis of user data (connection data) to identify trends and enhance our online offering.

By means of tracking and marketing automation tools, your contact data, that you proactively provided via the contact form for newsletters or media releases to identify yourself, can be transferred automatically to our contact database. The providers may also transmit this information to third parties insofar as this is legally prescribed or when third parties process this data on behalf of the providers.

            You have the following rights under applicable law in connection with the processing of your personal data:<\/span><\/p>

            Right to information:<\/strong> You may review this Privacy Policy at any time from any page of our website and take a copy.<\/span><\/p>

            Access right:<\/strong> You have the right at any time to request, free of charge, information about the personal data we process about you. You may also request a copy of your personal data processed by us. In some cases, this right may be limited or excluded, in particular in case of doubt as to identity or when it is necessary to protect other persons.<\/span><\/p>

            Right to rectification:<\/strong> You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.<\/span><\/p>

            Right to erasure:<\/strong> You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data when it is no longer required for the intended purposes, for example, when they are processed on the basis of your consent and you have withdrawn that consent, or when an objection against processing has been filed, or when the personal data was illegally processed.<\/span><\/p>

            Right to restriction of processing:<\/strong> Under certain conditions you have the right to request the restricted processing of your personal data, for example, when you dispute the accuracy of your personal data.<\/span><\/p>

            Right to data portability:<\/strong> You have the right to receive your personal data provided to us in a structured, commonly-used, machine-readable format in so far as the actual data processing took place with your consent or was required to fulfil a contract and the processing took place by means of automatic procedures.<\/span><\/p>

            Right to withdraw consent:<\/strong> Where the legal basis for processing your data is consent, you have the right to withdraw any formerly given consent for data processing at any time. Withdrawal of consent is only applicable to the future. Processing activities that occurred in the past and took place with your consent are excluded from the right to withdraw consent and remain legal.<\/span><\/p>

            Right to object to processing:<\/strong> You have the right to object to processing at any time for reasons related to your particular situation. In particular, a right to object to processing exists for data processing in connection with direct advertising (e.g. newsletters) without the need to give any reason.<\/span><\/p>

            To exercise these rights please contact the Data Protection Officer (email:\u00a0dataprotection@axpo.com).<\/span><\/p>

            Right to appeal:<\/strong> You have a right to appeal to the responsible supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that your rights were violated through certain data processing.<\/span><\/p>

            In particular, it may be necessary for us to continue to process and retain your personal data in order to fulfil the employment contract with you, to protect our own legitimate interests, such as the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or to comply with legal obligations. To the extent permitted by law, in particular to protect the rights and freedoms of other data subjects and to safeguard legitimate interests, we may also refuse a request in whole or in part (e.g. by blacking out content that concerns third parties or our business secrets). If you do not agree with the way we handle your rights or with our data protection practices, please let us or our data protection officers know. If you are located in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in your country. A list of authorities in the EEA can be found here: https:\/\/edpb.europa.eu\/about-edpb\/board\/members_en.

            E. Disclosure of your personal data<\/span><\/h4>

            We may disclose personal data that we process for purposes described in this privacy policy within the Axpo Group and to other Axpo subsidiaries. Disclosure takes place exclusively for the purpose of intra-company management (e.g. accounting, centralised customer management, etc.).<\/span><\/p>

            Your personal data is only shared with third parties outside of Axpo Group to the extent necessary to provide our services, where that third party is a service provider acting on our behalf and at our direction, including hosting or maintaining our databases, software and website, customer relationship management and marketing activities These companies have a contractual obligation to Axpo (e.g. by contract) to comply with the valid laws and our privacy policy when processing your personal data. In addition, Axpo only discloses your data to third parties if and in so far as this is necessary according to applicable law and supported by court orders, or required by regulation.<\/span><\/p>

            F. Data transfer abroad<\/span><\/h4>

            The Axpo Group produces, trades and sells energy in Switzerland, countries in Europe, Singapore and the USA.<\/span><\/p>

            In the context of our business activities and in line with the purposes of the data processing set out in Section 2 above, we may transfer data to third parties, insofar as such a transfer is permitted and we deem it appropriate, in order for them to process data for us or, as the case may be, their own purposes. In particular, the following categories of recipients may be concerned:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

            • partners (such as etaeval as a solution partner of etahydro)<\/span><\/p><\/li>

            • our service providers (within the Axpo Group or externally, such as e.g. banks, insurances), including processors (such as e.g. IT providers);<\/span><\/p><\/li>

            • dealers, suppliers, subcontractors and other business partners;<\/span><\/p><\/li>

            • clients;<\/p><\/li>

            • domestic and foreign authorities or courts;<\/span><\/p><\/li>

            • the media;<\/p><\/li>

            • the public, including users of our websites and social media;<\/span><\/p><\/li>

            • competitors, industry organizations, associations, organizations and other bodies;<\/span><\/p><\/li>

            • acquirers or parties interested in the acquisition of business divisions, companies or other parts of the Axpo Group;<\/span><\/p><\/li>

            • other parties in possible or pending legal proceedings;<\/span><\/p><\/li>

            • affiliates of the Axpo Group;<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

              together \u201cRecipients\u201d.<\/span><\/p>

              Certain Recipients may be within Switzerland but they may be located in any country worldwide. In particular, you must anticipate your data to be transmitted to any country in which the Axpo Group is represented by affiliates, branches or other offices as well as to other countries in Europe and the USA where our service providers are located (such as Microsoft, SAP, Amazon, Salesforce). See also annual report of Axpo Holding AG\u00a0[link to report]\u00a0[CGO1]\u00a0for the location of the Group Companies.<\/span><\/p>

              If a Recipient is located in a country without adequate statutory data protection, we require the Recipient to undertake to comply with data protection (for this purpose, we use the revised European Commission\u2019s standard contractual clauses, which can be accessed here: https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dec_impl\/2021\/914\/oj?), unless the Recipient is subject to a legally accepted set of rules to ensure data protection and unless we cannot rely on an exception. An exception may apply for example in case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interest or if the performance of a contract requires disclosure, if you have consented or if data has been made available generally by you and you have not objected against the processing.<\/span><\/p>

              G. Data retention<\/span><\/h4>

              We retain your personal data in compliance with applicable laws as long as needed for the purposes described in this privacy policy or as long as required by applicable retention requirements. For example: we keep your choice (acceptance or refusal) concerning cookies for a period of 6 months.<\/span><\/p>

              H. Data security<\/span><\/h4>

              We take adequate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. Your personal data is only accessible to individuals who require it for the purposes and tasks described in this privacy policy (e.g. HR staff, IT system administrators). These persons are all obliged to handle personal data confidentially and solely in accordance with valid data protection regulations. Data transmission to us takes place in unencrypted form and by means of an open, cross-border network that is accessible to anyone. However, Axpo has implemented security measures to protect data against unauthorised access and to ensure website authenticity, data integrity, and the confidentiality of data transmitted over the group-internal network (Intranet). Nevertheless, zero risk does not exist because of the risks inherent in the use of the Internet, the loss of transmitted data, viewing by non-authorized third parties cannot be ruled out. Consequently, this can result in your data being disclosed or modified, including in countries without an adequate data protection level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

              I. Changes<\/span><\/h4>

              This privacy policy may be amended from time to time to reflect legal, regulatory, technical, economic or other developments at Axpo’s discretion and without prior notice. When we make significant changes, we will notify you in advance by any appropriate means. The latest version of the privacy policy accessible\u00a0here\u00a0applies at the time when your personal data is processed.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
