At Apex Tool Group, we strive to treat all of our business partners fairly and with respect, including customers, suppliers and associates. We invest significant resources in business ethics training for associates and continuously work to implement new programs that stress the importance of our standards. For example, we introduced a gift giving and receiving policy to ensure there is no improper influence on how we make business decisions. Our goal is to give our associates clear guidance that allows them to use their best judgment in everything they do.

We also have a confidential process in place for our associates to share any concerns they may have about ethics with senior and executive management.

Cybersecurity Incident Notification 

This notice provides information about a cyber security event experienced by Apex Tool Group, LLC (“ATG”), our response, and resources available to potentially impacted individuals to help protect their sensitive personal information from possible misuse, should they feel it necessary to do so.

On January 13, 2023, ATG concluded its investigation into the cybersecurity event that is the subject of this notice. On March 11, 2022, we observed unusual activity resulting in the inaccessibility of certain systems within our network. We immediately took steps to contain the threat and investigate the extent of this activity. With the help of leading cybersecurity experts and experienced cybersecurity legal counsel, we determined that an unknown third party initially accessed our network on or around February 21, 2022. We also confirmed that we eradicated the underlying unauthorized access to our systems on March 11, 2022. We then took steps to enhance the security of our systems and began investigating what, if any, sensitive personal information may have been accessed or acquired in connection with the incident.

Unfortunately, as of the close of our investigation, we could not confirm the identity of all individuals whose sensitive personal information may have been potentially impacted in connection with the incident. However, we note that ATG collects certain sensitive personal information in our normal course of business, primarily with respect to our human resources functions, which may include an individual’s name, date of birth, Social Security number, government identification numbers, and financial account numbers.
