Data transmission to Akenza AG website takes place over an open, cross-border network that is accessible to anyone. Transmission is not encrypted. Therefore the loss of transmitted data, viewing by third parties, or tracing the contact to Akenaz AG cannot be ruled out. Consequently your data could be disclosed or modified. Furthermore, data sent on the Internet can be transmitted across national boundaries, and hence through countries that do not have the same strict data privacy requirements as Switzerland, even when the sender and receiver are located in Switzerland. Akenza AG does not assume liability for any direct or indirect damages resulting from data transmission between website visitors and Akenza AG.

However, Akenza AG has implemented security measures to protect data against unauthorised access and to ensure the authenticity of the website, data integrity, and the confidentiality of data transmitted over our private network (Intranet).

Access to personal data is restricted to those employees who require such information. They are under an obligation to respect the confidentiality of personal data.

The Federal Mail and Telecommunications Monitoring Act stipulates a legal retention obligation for connection data received over the last six months. The user can request that his/her content data be deleted by sending an email to ask@akenza.com.

Akenza is a Swiss leading IoT company with focus on commercial IoT. We can transmit your data to a database belonging to the Akenza AG outside your country of residence, and that may be located in a country that does not have the same strict data privacy requirements as your country of residence.
