Courses on IT security and ethical hacking

Privacy policy

Last updated: 5 September 2026

FuryHack delivers IT security course content. The app requests no system permissions: no location, no camera, no microphone, no notifications. An account is optional — you can also purchase and learn without one; in that case the app creates a random device identifier that is not linked to any person.

What we explicitly do not collect

3. Permissions on your device

The app does not request any special system permissions.

4. Legal bases

We process personal data under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP). Where the GDPR applies, we rely on:

5. Recipients and third parties

We do not sell data and do not disclose it for advertising purposes. Data is disclosed only to the following parties, and only where required for operation:

Recipient Location Purpose
Hetzner Online GmbH Gunzenhausen (Germany), data centre inside the EU Operation of our servers. Hetzner processes data solely on our behalf and is contractually bound to confidentiality.
Apple Inc. / Apple Distribution International Ltd. Cupertino (USA) / Cork (Ireland) App Store distribution, processing of in-app purchases and subscriptions, and crash reports if you have enabled them with Apple.

Authorities and courts receive data only where we are legally obliged to provide it.

Transfers abroad

Some of the recipients listed above process data outside Switzerland and the EEA, in particular in the United States. We base such transfers on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses with the Swiss adaptations recognised by the FDPIC and, where applicable, on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We will provide information on the safeguards in place on request.

6. Retention and deletion

Account, progress and certificates remain until you delete your account. When used without an account only the random device identifier and subscription status are stored; they expire with the subscription. Purchase records are kept for 10 years (accounting duty). Server logs expire after 14 days.

Step-by-step instructions are available at Delete data.

7. Children and young people

This app is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we learn that such data has been submitted without parental consent, we delete it without delay.

8. Data security

Wherever the app transmits data at all, connections are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. On the server side we use access restrictions, tenant separation and regular backups. Nobody can, however, guarantee absolute security for data transmission over the internet.

9. Your rights

An informal message to info@babala.ch or a call to 076 222 45 99. We normally respond within 30 days. To verify your identity we may request suitable proof. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Switzerland: FDPIC; EU: your competent authority).

10. Changes to this policy

We may adapt this policy when the app or the legal framework changes. The version published on this page, with the date shown above, is the applicable one. We announce material changes inside the app.
