Privacy policy

Collect of information

No personal data is collected when you access our website. For the purpose of analyzing visits to the site, we collect your IP address and use cookies, unless you have set your preferences otherwise via the window in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. Cookies are very small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit a website. We use cookies for various purposes and to enhance your online experience on our website. You can modify your preferences and refuse the storage of certain types of cookies on your computer when browsing our site.

Personal information is collected when you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, when you fill in an event registration form, when you contact us via our contact form, or when you contribute to certain advanced features on the site. The information we collect is clearly stated on the web page on which we collect it.

To whom this information is transmitted

We do not pass on any information about you as an individual (as opposed to aggregated data) to third parties. Individual information is only used to enable us to respond to requests you have sent us via the site (e.g. to receive our newsletter, register for an event, etc.).

In some cases, and only if you give your consent, your contact details may be passed on to trusted third parties in order to respond to certain requests. These third parties may then send you communications and provide you with information, offers, and services that correspond to your request or are of interest to you.

Why do we collect this information?

We collect this data in order to respond to your requests, to assist you in using the site and to improve the site in general. Information that cannot be associated with your identity (e.g. statistical data relating to the number of users of our online offering) does not constitute personal data.

Information security

We take the security of information passing through our site very seriously. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Consequently, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you send to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Access and rectification rights

In accordance with the legal provisions in force (art. 25 LPD), you may at any time ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you and, if necessary, for it to be updated or corrected. To do so, please contact us at secretariat@fondationpourgeneve.ch.
