We process personal data responsibly, for specific purposes and in accordance with the applicable Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the applicable Swiss Data Protection Ordinance (DPO).

In particular, we process personal data that you provide to us or that arises from the use of our website and services, namely: contact details; information on membership, volunteering, donations and patronage; registration, booking and payment data; communication data; contributions to our formats (e.g. blog, podcast) and applications; photo and video recordings of events; technical website data (e.g. IP address, browser type). In some cases, we also receive information from third parties, e.g. from partner organisations.
4. Purposes
We process personal data in particular for the following purposes: operating the website; organising events; managing memberships, volunteers, donations and patronage; communicating with you and sending newsletters; processing payments, mandates and services; reporting to funders and public relations; accounting and compliance with legal obligations; security and improvement of our services.
5. Recipients
We disclose personal data where this is necessary for these purposes, in particular to service providers (e.g. hosting, newsletter, payment processing, IT), to partner organisations and funders, and to authorities where we are legally obliged to do so.
6. Disclosure Abroad
Personal data may be disclosed to the EU or the EEA, to Israel (e.g. Wix) and to the USA (e.g. Google Analytics), and in exceptional cases to other countries. Where adequate data protection is not guaranteed there, we rely on the recipient’s certification under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or on standard contractual clauses, and in individual cases also on your consent or the performance of a contract with you.
