Privacy and cookie policy

Shift2 respects your privacy and declares to treat your personal data confidentially. The personal data of customers and visitors is treated and secured with the utmost care. Shift2 will only process your personal data in accordance with current legislation.

Personal data

In the course of providing our services, Shift2 records data. This is the case when you enter into an agreement with us, subscribe to our newsletter, visit one of our events, take a course with us, use our (interactive) services, register your interest or otherwise express your interest, or otherwise have contact with Shift2.

Below is an overview of the personal data we process:

  • First and last name
  • Gender
  • Address details
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • IP address
  • Other personal data that you actively provide for example by creating a profile on this website, in correspondence and by telephone
  • Location details
  • Data about your activities on our website
  • Data about your browsing behavior across different websites (for example, because this company is part of an advertising network)
  • Internet browser and device type

Shift2 uses the personal data provided by you for the execution and handling of the relevant agreement, for its other services and internal business operations, and to be able to advise you as best as possible about products and services. Insofar as it does not arise from the law or from obligations Shift2 has entered into towards you, no personal data will be provided to third parties without yourq consent.

Special and/or sensitive personal data we process

Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data on website visitors who are under the age of 16. Unless they have parental or guardian consent. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore recommend that parents be involved in their children's online activities to avoid collecting data about children without parental consent. If you believe that we have collected personal information about a minor without such consent, please contact us at contact@shift2.nl, and we will delete this information.

For what purpose and on what basis we process personal data

Shift2 processes your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Sending our newsletter and/or promotional flyer
  • Calling or emailing you if necessary to perform our services
  • Inform you of changes to our services and products
  • Shift2 analyzes your behavior on the website in order to improve the website and tailor the offer of products and services to your preferences.
  • Shift2 tracks your browsing habits across different websites to help us tailor our products and services to your needs.

Automated decision-making

Shift2 does not make decisions based on automated processing about things that could (significantly) affect individuals. These decisions are made by computer programs or systems, without the presence of a human being (e.g. an employee of Shift2). Shift2 uses CRM-applications so that we have an overview of our (potential) customers and can thus contact them in a personal way and manage our administration. This does not adversely affect our customers.

How long we keep personal data

Shift2 stores your personal data no longer than strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes for which your data is collected. We use the following retention periods for the following (categories) of personal data:

  1. Being able to perform an agreement. Shift2 processes and stores personal data for achieving the performance of the agreement(s). We keep this data as long as the customer has a contract with Shift2. After a contract is no longer valid, for administrative reasons and legal requirements, the data are kept in a (digital) archive for another 7 years.
  2. Being able to carry out direct marketing activities. Shift2 processes and stores personal data for carrying out direct marketing activities. We keep this data as long as the customer has a contract with Shift2 or has voluntarily signed up via an opt-in functionality. After a contract is no longer valid, the data is kept in our (digital) archive for another 7 years. If no contract was present, the data, after unsubscribing, will be deleted from Shift2 immediately.

Sharing personal data with third parties

Shift2 does not sell your data to third parties and will provide it only if necessary for the performance of our agreement or to comply with a legal obligation. We conclude a processing agreement with companies that process your data on our behalf to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality of your data. Shift2 remains responsible for this processing.

Personal data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, Shift2 ensures that such cross-border data processing is surrounded by appropriate safeguards with standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. These standard contractual clauses provide sufficient safeguards to meet the adequacy and security requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation (AVG), think GDPR or Privacy Shield compliance.
