Personal data collected through the use of our website or as part of our business activities is processed with great care. We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data and store or process it solely for the specified purposes. Personal data is processed by us in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG). The services of AGON PARTNERS SOLUTION GmbH are intended for users in Switzerland.

This Privacy Policy is superseded by other privacy statements (or terms and conditions, cooperation agreements, and similar documents) that govern specific matters.

We process personal data (data that directly or indirectly identifies natural persons) that we receive from you or involved third parties in the course of a business relationship or its initiation, or that we collect ourselves. AGON PARTNERS SOLUTION GmbH is responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Policy.

Some of the personal data is provided to us by you or the affected persons when you or they contact us via email, social media (e.g., LinkedIn), online contact forms, or telephone to inquire about our services. This includes, for example, names, phone numbers, contact details, and information about the role of the affected person within the company or organization for which you or the respective contact persons work or on whose behalf you or they contact us. We also process personal data that we receive in our correspondence with third parties (particularly clients, opposing parties, authorities, or courts and their employees or other contacts) as part of the business relationship (e.g., name, contact details, date of birth, details of employment, income situation, family circumstances, or health status). Additionally, we collect some personal data ourselves, e.g., from public registers or websites.

We process the mentioned types of personal data:

1. 1. primarily to provide, document, and invoice our agreed-upon services.
   2. for marketing purposes (using any communication methods such as email, social media, mail, or telephone) to inform about publications, events, news, services, or products that might be of interest (e.g., through a newsletter).

To achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, it may be necessary for us to share personal data with the following categories of recipients: external service providers, clients, opposing parties and their legal representatives, business partners with whom we may need to coordinate our service delivery, as well as authorities and courts. Additionally, your data will be shared with group companies (see website).

We process personal data within our area of responsibility primarily in Switzerland and the EU/EEA. However, we process data globally if required by the business relationship. We may also transfer personal data to recipients (particularly clients, opposing parties, or authorities) who themselves process the data in other countries, including those that do not provide a level of data protection comparable to Swiss law. Such transfers will be based on consent, standard contractual clauses, or where necessary for the performance of a contract or the enforcement of legal claims.

To operate our website securely and reliably, we collect technical data such as IP addresses, information about the operating system and device settings, region, time, and type of usage. We also use cookies and similar technologies.

When you use our website (including newsletters and other digital offerings), data is generated and stored in logs (particularly technical data). We may also use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixel tags or fingerprints) to recognize website visitors, analyze their behavior, and identify preferences. A cookie is a small file transmitted between the server and your system that enables the recognition of a specific device or browser. You can configure your browser to automatically reject, accept, or delete cookies. You can also disable or delete cookies individually. Refer to your browser's help menu for instructions on managing cookies. The technical data and cookies we collect generally do not contain personal data. However, personal data stored by us or third-party providers (e.g., if you have a user account) may be linked to the technical data or information stored in cookies and thus potentially associated with you.

We also use social media plugins, which are small software components that establish a connection between your visit to our website and a third-party provider. These plugins notify the third-party provider that you visited our website and may transmit cookies previously placed on your browser. For more details on how these third parties handle personal data collected through their plugins, please refer to their privacy policies. Additionally, we use our own tools and third-party services (which may also use cookies) to enhance the functionality or content of our website (e.g., embedding videos or maps), generate statistics, and deliver advertising. Currently, we may use services from the following providers, with their contact information and specific data processing details available in their respective privacy policies:

6.2 We use Google Analytics to analyze our offering's usage. Google Analytics also employs cookies. It is a service of Google LLC, USA. This service helps us provide our offering, including our website, effectively and user-friendly, as well as securely and reliably by analyzing usage patterns for troubleshooting and improvements. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the "Browser Add-on for Disabling Google Analytics": https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google complies with the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield, ensuring an adequate level of data protection. More details about data processing related to Google Analytics can be found here:

6.8 We operate pages and online presences on social networks and other third-party platforms, processing data about you in the process. We receive data from you (e.g., if you communicate with us or comment on our content) and from the platforms (e.g., statistics). These platform providers may analyze your usage and combine this data with other information they hold about you. They also process this data for their purposes (e.g., marketing, research, and platform management) as independent controllers.

If you apply for a position with us, we collect and process the relevant data for the purpose of reviewing your application, conducting the recruitment process, and, in the case of successful applications, preparing and concluding the corresponding contract. In addition to your contact details and information from the related communication, we process the data contained in your application documents and any additional data we may obtain about you, such as from professional social networks, the internet, media, and references, provided you consent to us obtaining references.

We store personal data only for as long as it is necessary to manage the business relationship, fulfill legal retention and documentation obligations, or if we have an overriding private or public interest. We take reasonable and proportionate measures to protect personal data from loss, unauthorized alteration, or unauthorized access by third parties. If you provide us with personal data through a third party (e.g., your employees or other contacts), it is your responsibility to inform them in a general manner about the processing by us or other external service providers (e.g., in a privacy policy for employees).

We would like to inform you that, in the course of managing mandates, we rely on external IT service providers and cloud providers with servers located in Switzerland. We also use certain IT services and communication tools that may be associated with data security risks (e.g., email, video conferencing). It is your responsibility to inform us if you require specific security measures.

We have a legitimate interest in processing personal data in line with the stated purposes. Some processing activities are also necessary for us to fulfill our contractual obligations to you or comply with our legal obligations (e.g., retention requirements).

Affected individuals have, in particular, the right to access their stored personal data and the purpose of its processing, the right to rectification, and the right to deletion or restriction of the processing of their personal data. They also have the right to object to the processing, the right to seek legal remedies with a competent supervisory authority, and the right to data portability. Please note, however, that these rights are subject to conditions and exceptions. To the extent legally permissible or required, we may deny requests to exercise these rights. For instance, we may be required or permitted to retain or further process personal data despite a request for deletion or restriction of processing for legal reasons. If you are located in the EEA, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority of your country. A list of supervisory authorities in the EEA can be found here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_de.

No consent from clients, their employees, or other contacts is required for this Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy merely serves to inform about the nature, scope, and purpose of the use of personal data by AGON PARTNERS SOLUTION GmbH. AGON PARTNERS SOLUTION GmbH reserves the right to unilaterally amend the content of the aforementioned Privacy Policy at any time. We will inform you accordingly of any changes.

Should the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) exceptionally apply to certain data processing activities, the following shall also apply exclusively for the purposes of the GDPR and the data processing activities subject to it. We base the processing of your personal data in particular on the following grounds:

a. it is necessary for the initiation and conclusion of contracts, as well as their management and enforcement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR);

b. it is necessary for the protection of legitimate interests of ours or third parties, specifically for communication with you or third parties, to operate our website, improve our electronic offerings, and register for specific services and offerings, for security purposes, compliance with Swiss law and internal regulations, risk management, corporate governance, and other purposes such as training, administration, evidence and quality assurance, organization, execution and follow-up of events, and to protect other legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR);

c. it is required or permitted by law under EEA law or the law of a member state based on our mandate or position (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
