We work with a range of third-party providers in connection with the use of our website. Most of these third-party providers have their headquarters in Switzerland or in the EEA. Some of them belong to corporations that operate globally, hence the fact that the transmission of data to countries beyond these regions – specifically to the USA – is not excluded.
Various external links are posted on the website, including those of social media providers.

When you visit or use our website, our web servers collect certain technical data about your visit; this is recorded in logs, for example:
Technical data in itself does not normally allow your identity to be traced. Based on your IP address, we know the identity of your provider and therefore the region from which you are accessing the website; however, this does not reveal your identity – provided you have never signed up for a user account. If, however, you identify yourself on our website using your name or an email address, we will collect the technical data relating to you.
We use this data for technical troubleshooting, to defend and police our systems against attacks, and for marketing purposes. AXA reserves the right to review the log data at a later date if there is any specific evidence to indicate suspected unlawful use.
Where the GDPR is applicable, the legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR) in enabling you to have a safe user experience.

In the case of active customers of AXA who are visiting the website via the AXA newsletter or logging into the AXA online portal, target group information may be loaded for use by technology partners on an anonymized basis.
