Privacy Policy

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Federal Government (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and to protection against misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions.
Personal data will be handled strictly confidential and will not be sold or given to third parties.
Exceptions are made only at the express request of the user or in connection with potential fraud or if provided for by Swiss law.
Working closely with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect the infrastructure as much as possible from third-party access, loss, misuse or forgery.


What we collect

Upon each visit to the login page, the server automatically recognises the users IP address, domain and Web browser. This information is not used to identify the user personally. PrivaSphere does not sell or market any user information to third parties. Logging information may, however, on occasion be analysed and utilised internally to help improve the quality of our service.
During the registration process, the user provides personal information such as name, email address, etc. This information is used primarily to identify the user, necessary for the login process. The individual user account is based on existing email addresses. PrivaSphere will not share this information with anyone, or sell or market this information to any third party. PrivaSphere reserves the right to use the registered information for its own CRM, sales and marketing activities. The user may, however, choose to opt-out of receiving material from PrivaSphere by sending an email to info@privasphere.com.
Some information is required for billing purposes, and to contact the user should a problem arise related to the user account. This information may be shared in discretion and under nondisclosure agreements with our/your billing partners. The information will not be marketed or sold to any third party. The information is collected and owned by PrivaSphere exclusively.
Our service contains links to other sites. PrivaSphere AG is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
For the "PrivaSphere Sign & Send" service, which allows users to digitally sign PDF documents in a qualified manner, PrivaSphere also has access to data that allows unique identification of the user (name, mobile number, nationality). For the creation of the signature, this data is transmitted to Swisscom Switzerland AG.

Cookies

PrivaSphere consciously decided against the mandatory use of any cookies for optimum privacy.

Security

PrivaSphere recognises the importance of total security for our customers. We exercise great care to ensure that any information sent is handled in a secure manner. Therefore, all communication between the user’s computer and the PrivaSphere servers is encrypted using SSL encryption or equivalent technology. Furthermore, any document and message content uploaded to the users account is stored in an encrypted format (AES). This service implements security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of any information under PrivaSphere’s control. Internally, PrivaSphere restricts access to personal information to selected own employees. Data backups are encrypted every day. The PrivaSphere infrastructure (server) on which customer data is stored and processed is operated exclusively in Switzerland.
