Personal Information Transfer and Disclosure
​
Your Personal Information may be transferred for processing and use to Phoenixus AG affiliates in other countries and regions of the world which may not provide an adequate level of protection for your Personal Information compared with that provided in Switzerland/the European Union. However, such Phoenixus AG affiliates agree to treat your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may transfer your data to one of the Phoenixus AG Group's databases outside your country of domicile, potentially including countries which may not provide an adequate level of protection for your Personal Information compared with that provided in Switzerland/the European Union.
​
Your data may also be transferred to third parties who act for or on our behalf, for further processing in accordance with the purpose(s) for which the data was originally collected or may otherwise be lawfully processed, such as provision of services, data management or technical support. Said third parties have contracted with us to only use Personal Information for the agreed upon purpose, not to sell your personal data to third parties, and not to disclose it to third parties except as may be required by law, as permitted by us or as stated in this Privacy Policy. Personal Information may also be transferred to a third party in the event that the business of this Web Site or any part of it and the customer data connected with it is sold, assigned or transferred. In such case, we will require the buyer, assignee or transferee to treat your Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Also, Personal Information may be disclosed to a third party if Phoenixus AG is required to do so based on applicable law or a court order, or if such disclosure is otherwise required in support of any criminal or other legal investigation or proceeding in Switzerland or abroad. Personal Information will not be sold, rented or exchanged outside of Phoenixus AG unless the user is first notified and expressly consents to such transfer.
​
Additionally, we reserve the right to disclose to third parties non-personally identifiable information collected for any lawful purpose, including but not limited to, aggregate or de-identified data.
