Information Switch collects and how it is used

Switch uses certain cookies and other analytical tools to gather information regarding the users of its website, Switch.com. This information may include your IP address, general location, browser session information, and other related data. Switch may obtain additional information from third parties, but Switch does not sell or share information it obtains with any third parties. Switch uses this information to optimize the user experience and for marketing and advertising purposes. None of these tools give Switch access to any of your personally identifiable information.

Switch also collects information provided by you before utilizing any of its services. For example, if you request a tour or a quote, you are providing Switch with your first and last name, company, job title, telephone number, and email address. Switch uses this information to contact you regarding your request and to develop a business relationship with you.

Switch also collects information provided by its customers. This includes potentially personally identifying information such as name, address, phone number, job title, email address, and log in credentials. Switch also collects its customer’s payment information, bank account number, tax ID number, payment history, and other similar account related information. Switch uses this information to provide services to its customers, prevent fraud, and for any other legally permissible use.

When a customer, vendor, or related party visits a Switch data center facility, such person provides Switch with their driver’s license or governmental identification card, and when applicable, certain biometric data. Switch maintains this data under established security protocols and retains this data for a period of sixty days. After the expiration of that sixty-day period, Switch will only retain the name of the person who visited the Switch facility as well as the date and location of such visit.

Switch obtains consent to post customer testimonials; however, if you want to update or remove your testimonial, simply contact us at [email protected].
