To the extent that Sifflet is deemed to be a data processor under data privacy laws, this notice fulfills our obligation to provide certain information to third parties whose Personal Information (as defined below) we process in such capacity, as required by the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and other data privacy laws.
By using this Site, you accept and hereby expressly, explicitly, and unambiguously consent to our processing of your Personal Information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically for the most recent modification date to ensure that you are aware of any changes in our processing of your Personal Information. If we make any material changes, we will provide notice on this Site before the change becomes effective, and we will notify our customers by email. Your continued use of the Site after any changes signifies your express and unambiguous consent to any such changes. If you disagree with such changes, you must immediately stop using the Site.
The Personal Information we hold about you must be accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your Personal Information changes during your relationship.
This Privacy Policy applies to the processing of Personal Information collected by us when you:
1. The information we collect
We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of Personal Information about you, which we have grouped as follows:
1.1 The information you provide us directly if you are required to provide us with information, some of which may identify you. This is particularly the case when you fill in our forms, connect with us by telephone, email, or any other means of communication, or when you report a problem to us, or when you participate in one of our surveys, research studies, promotional offers, games, or contests. This information may include your first name, last name, email address, company, office number, mobile number, and postal address.
1.2 The information we automatically collect during each of your visits to our website(s), we may collect, in accordance with applicable legislation and with your consent, where applicable, information relating to the devices on which you use our services or the networks from which you access our services, such as your IP addresses, connection data, types and versions of Internet browsers used, types and versions of plugins in your browser, operating systems, and platforms, data about your browsing experience on our website, including your experience on the various URL pages of our website, the content you access or view, the search terms used, download errors, how long you have been viewing certain pages, your device’s advertising ID, interactions with the page and any telephone numbers used to contact us. Among the technologies used to collect this information, we use cookies (for more information, please refer to our legal notices).
1.3 How long your information will be kept
1.3.1 After the expiry of the applicable retention periods, your Personal Information will be deleted. However, if there is any information that we are unable to delete from our systems, due to technical reasons entirely, we will execute the appropriate action to prevent any further use of such information.
1.3.2 The following categories of Personal Information are kept as long as the consent to receive Sifflet news is activated (releases, sponsorship, event organizer, promotion, etc.).
2. How we use the information we collect
In accordance with applicable legislation and with your consent where required, we may use the information you provide to us on our sites for marketing purposes (for example,
(i) to send you our newsletters, (ii) to send you invitations to our events or other communications that may be of interest to you, and (iii) to display targeted advertising on social media platforms or third-party sites).
Opting out - with regard to promotional emails: You may withdraw your consent at any time by (i) unchecking the box in your account, (ii) clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in each of our communications, or (iii) contacting us at privacy@siffletdata.com
3. Where your information is stored
For Customers and Users located within the European Economic Area (EEA), residing in a country that is a member of the European Union (EU), or residing in the United Kingdom (UK) or Switzerland, we store your Personal Information using Cloud Services Providers (CSPs) within the European Union region.
Sifflet collects and processes Personal Information, including, where legally permissible, special categories of Personal Information for the following purposes and the legal basis on which we rely:
If we need to collect and process Personal Information by law or under the contract we have entered into with you, and you fail to provide the Personal Information we request, we may not be able to perform as contracted with you.
Data Retention
We will only retain the information you provide for as long as reasonably as needed to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
In some circumstances, we may anonymize your Personal Information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Given that the Internet operates in a global environment and that transfer of your information is necessary to provide you with requested services, to provide updates, and to respond to your inquiries; using the Internet to collect and process Personal Information necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international, or cross- border, basis. Accordingly, by providing Personal Information and/or communicating with us by email, you acknowledge and expressly consent to our processing and disclosure of your Personal Information in this way.
The Personal Information of Customers or Users located outside the European Union may be transferred outside of each eligible country to the European Union, where our servers are located, and where it will be processed and stored on servers in the European Union region. In addition, the servers and storage we use to provide you services are provided by Cloud services providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). We may, from time to time, add other Cloud service providers. Your Personal Information is stored in one or more of their data centers located in the European Union region.
4. Your rights to your personal information

We make every effort to respond to all legitimate requests within one month unless otherwise required by law. We will contact you if additional information is needed to honor your request or verify your identity. Occasionally, it may take us longer than one month to process a request, considering the complexity and number of requests we receive.
