Sentifi takes data protection very seriously and is committed to the protection of your personal data. Sentifi complies with applicable data protection laws, i.e. the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We collect and use your personal data as described in the following sections.
When you visit and interact with our website, our servers temporarily save every access to a log file. We automatically collect and store, without any action on your part, potentially personally-identifying data and other information from you, as further described below.
Information about the computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device you use to access our website, including IP addresses, geolocation information, operating system, unique device identifiers and browser type.
By default, IP address anonymization is enabled. This means that each new visitor IP address (ipv4 or ipv6 format) is stored in the database with the last components removed to protect user privacy.
This data is collected and processed for the purpose of allowing the use of our website (establishing a connection), ensuring system security and stability in the long term and allowing our Internet offering to be optimized, as well as for internal statistical purposes.
Only in the event of an attack on the website's network infrastructure or in case of a suspicion of unauthorized or abusive use of the website, the IP address will be evaluated for clarification and defense purposes and, if necessary, used for identification purposes in criminal proceedings and for civil and criminal proceedings against the users concerned.
The purposes described above, constitute our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
When you register for a Sentifi Intelligence account on our website as a regular user, a Premium Member, or a Pro&Advanced Member , we may collect information such as your name, username, email address, telephone number, address, username of a third party authentication service whose application you have authorized or used to sign in to your Sentifi account (e.g. Twitter and LinkedIn usernames), and password.
We collect and process such data to facilitate initial account registration and creation. We may also use such data to provide you with customer service, in particular customer service related to your Premium Service subscription (product, technical or subscription-related questions), as applicable.
For these purposes, we rely on the performance of a contract as a legal basis to process your data, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, or on our legitimate interests, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, respectively.
We may contract third parties for the contact form and the live chat functionality and may disclose your data to such third parties for this purpose (see also Section 2 “Disclosure of personal data to third parties” below). In addition to the above data, where a third party service is installed, it may collect browsing and usage data in the pages where the service is installed, even if users do not actively use the service. Moreover, live chat conversations may be logged.
We require the above information to respond to your requests and inquiries and for website analytics. For these purposes, we rely on our legitimate interests, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. You can object to this data processing at any time (see Section 9 “Contact”).

Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or that a warning message will always appear when a new cookie arrives. For more information, please check the settings of your browser.
However, deactivating cookies may prevent you from using all the features of our portal.
Our website uses Google (Universal) Analytics , a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (www.google.com). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that allow an analysis of the use of the website, such as “Cookies” (see above Section 1.1.4 “Cookies and similar methods”). The information about the usage of the website will generally be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is enabled on this website, your IP address will first be truncated within the member states of the European Union or other states party to the agreement on the European Economic Area, as well as in Switzerland, before being transmitted to the USA. In exceptional cases only, the complete IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address that the user's browser transmits within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.
Users can prevent the collection of the data (including the IP address) generated by the cookie and related to the website use by the respective user for Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
As an alternative to the browser plug-in, you can click on the above link to prevent the acquisition by Google Analytics on this website in the future. An opt-out cookie is stored on the user's device. If the user deletes cookies (see above Section 1.1.4 “Cookies and similar technologies”), the link must be clicked again.
We further use DoubleClick by Google Inc for online advertising and to evaluate the use of our website. The combined use of initial provider cookies and third-party cookies (e.g. DoubleClick cookies) allows the evaluation in reports of how ad impressions are related to website visits. Third-party providers, including Google, have the ability to serve ads on websites and to tailor and optimize them based on demographics and interests (such as age, gender or interests) based on previous visits to the website. The data may be obtained from Google or third party visitor data.
We also use Tawk Live Chat software, a service provided by Tawk.to Inc to track visitor engagement with the Tawk.to widget. To opt out of Tawk tracking, please contact privacy@sentifi.com.
We also use Pardot B2B marketing automation by Salesforce, to track visitor and prospect activity . To opt out of Pardot tracking, please contact privacy@sentifi.com.
For the sake of completeness, we note that under US law, US authorities may carry out surveillance measures that allow the general storage of all data transferred from EU to the USA. This is done without distinction, restriction or exemption on the basis of the objective pursued and without objective criteria that would make it possible to restrict the US authorities access to personal data and its subsequent use for specific, strictly limited purposes that would justify access to that data.
The purposes described above constitute our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. You can object to this data processing at any time by following the opt-out mechanism as mentioned above .
