As a matter of principle, we collect and process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our contents and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception is made in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies.
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following data is collected:
browser name and version
the user’s operating system
referrer URL
access date and time
IP address
accessed web site
amount of transmitted data in bytes
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do this, the user’s IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it has been collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after 7 days at the latest.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
Our website only uses technically necessary cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. If a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is reopened.
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to enable the use of websites for users. In particular, they are used to detect and mitigate DDOS attacks. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted by the user to our site. Therefore, as a user, you have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Already stored cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies for our website are disabled, it may not be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.
It is possible to contact us via the provided email address. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.
In this context, there is no disclosure of the data to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The processing of personal data serves us solely to process the contact. This also includes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.
The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued.
You can send your objection informally at any time to privacy@shift7.ch or any other means of contact provided by us (e.g. by post).
All personal data stored in the course of contacting will be deleted in this case.
