Privacy Policy

    Last updated: February 2026

    1. Who We Are

    EuroShift is a directory of European software alternatives, operated by EuroShift B.V. We are committed to transparency and to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable European privacy law.

    Controller: EuroShift B.V.
    Contact: info@euroshift.eu

    2. Data We Collect

    We collect minimal data and only what is necessary to operate the site:

    • Contact form submissions: name, email address, and message content — stored securely and used only to respond to your enquiry.
    • Usage analytics: anonymised page-view data (no personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking).
    • Cookies: only strictly necessary session cookies required for the site to function. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

    3. Legal Basis for Processing

    • Contact enquiries: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), given when you submit the form.
    • Analytics: our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), balanced against your privacy rights.

    4. Affiliate Links

    Some links on EuroShift are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products are listed or how they are ranked — our editorial independence is non-negotiable. All affiliate links are clearly disclosed on our About page.

    5. Data Sharing

    We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data is stored on EU-based infrastructure. We only share data with sub-processors where strictly necessary (e.g. hosting), and only with providers that meet GDPR requirements.

    6. Data Retention

    Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months, after which they are deleted. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form indefinitely.

    7. Your Rights

    Under GDPR you have the right to:

    • Access the personal data we hold about you
    • Rectification of inaccurate data
    • Erasure ("right to be forgotten")
    • Restriction of processing
    • Data portability
    • Object to processing based on legitimate interests
    • Lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority

    To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@euroshift.eu. We will respond within 30 days.

    8. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the site. The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent version.
