1. Who we are
This website (sifermedia.com) is operated by SiferMedia, based in 5000 Aarau, Switzerland (“we”, “us”, “our”). We are the controller responsible for the personal data processed through this website.
Contact for privacy matters: info@sifermedia.com
2. What data we collect and why
a) Contact form
When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, company (optional), selected service (optional) and message you provide. We use this data solely to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to prepare a possible collaboration.
b) Free audit / project request form
If you submit our audit or project request form, we collect the details you enter (such as name, email and website) in order to prepare and send you the requested information.
c) Server log files
Our hosting provider automatically records technical data that your browser transmits (such as IP address, browser type, date and time of the request). This is necessary for the secure and stable operation of the website and is not combined with other data.
d) Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Analytics cookies are only set AFTER you give your consent via our cookie banner. Until you accept, no analytics data is collected. Your IP address is anonymised. You can withdraw your consent at any time by declining cookies.
3. Cookies and local storage
– “sifer_consent” (stored in your browser): remembers your cookie choice.
– “sifer_lang” (cookie): remembers your language preference.
– Google Analytics cookies (e.g. _ga): only set if you accept analytics cookies.
Essential storage is used to make the site work; analytics storage requires your consent.
4. Legal basis
We process your data based on: your consent (e.g. analytics cookies), the performance of or steps towards a contract (responding to your enquiry), and our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website. Processing is carried out in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP) and, where applicable, the EU GDPR.
5. Who we share data with (processors)
We only share data with service providers that help us run this website, under appropriate agreements:
– Hosting provider: our hosting provider
– Email delivery: our hosting provider
– Google (Google Analytics, and Google Maps if you choose to load it).
We do not sell your personal data.
6. International data transfers
Some providers (e.g. Google) may process data outside Switzerland/the EU, including in the USA. Such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses).
7. Fonts and maps
Our website fonts are hosted on our own server — no data is sent to Google Fonts. Google Maps is only loaded if you actively click to load it, so no data is sent to Google Maps until you choose to.
8. How long we keep your data
We keep enquiry data only as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards for our records, unless a longer statutory retention period applies. Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics settings.
9. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. You can also withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@sifermedia.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or your local supervisory authority if you are in the EU.
10. Data security
We use HTTPS encryption and appropriate technical measures to protect your data. However, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always available on this page, with the “last updated” date above.
