The person responsible for data processing is: Daniel Regli Kornamtsweg 8 8046 Zurich

The protection of your privacy is important to us. Below we inform you about how we handle your data. This statement is not exhaustive. No data (names, email addresses) from individuals who subscribe to the "Citizens' Forum Switzerland" newsletter will be passed on to third parties. Data from individuals whose names, email addresses, functions, etc. are already publicly available (politicians, church personnel, etc.) will be collected by us, stored in a database, and used for our PR work.

Protecting your privacy is important to us. Below, we inform you about how we handle your data. This statement is not exhaustive.

No data (names, email addresses) from individuals who subscribe to the "Swiss Civil Forum"-newsletter will be shared with third parties. Data from individuals whose names, email addresses, functions, etc. are already publicly available (politicians, church personnel, etc.) will be collected by us, stored in a database, and used for our PR work.

Data from individuals whose names, email addresses, roles, etc. are not already publicly available may only be made available to us with express permission and if the personal data is correct. For security reasons, we will then ask such individuals for their personal consent to include their data in a Swiss Civil Forum-mailing list.

This privacy policy applies to all individuals whose data we process, regardless of how they contact us. It applies to the processing of personal data already collected as well as to data collected in the future.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time you access a website, the web server automatically saves an entry in the so-called server log files, which contains the name of the requested file/URL, your IP address (anonymized), the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting browser, and documents the access.

2. Data Collection and Purpose

We collect personal data when you provide it to us when you contact us (by email or mail). Where permitted and necessary for the project, we may also obtain certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g., commercial registers, internet).

We use your data to contact you, if requested, to send you the newsletter, and (in anonymized form) for internal statistical purposes. We also use your data to further develop our project work.

We store and process your data only for as long as necessary for the purpose of processing and publication.

3. Data Sharing and Data Security

Personal data will not be published unless it was previously publicly accessible or was provided to us as part of the "Pastors Check" project with appropriate authorization.

LAUPER COMPUTING, Aarau, the company that hosts the Swiss Civil Forum database, takes appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the security of personal data. These technical security measures include, among other things, data encryption and pseudonymization, logging, access restrictions, and the storage of backup copies. Like all companies, LAUPER COMPUTING cannot completely rule out data security breaches; certain residual risks are unavoidable.

4. Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the data required for this purpose or the data you separately provide.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.

No data (names, email addresses) from individuals who subscribe to the "Swiss Civil Forum"-newsletter will be passed on to third parties.

5. Your Rights

Persons whose data is not visible online due to their public function have the right to object to data processing. If the applicable requirements are met, such persons also have the right to access, rectify, and erase their personal data, the right to restrict data processing, and the right to receive certain personal data for transmission to another entity (so-called data portability). Please note that we reserve the right to assert the restrictions provided for by law.

To assert your rights, you can contact us at the address provided above.

In addition, every data subject has the right to enforce their claims in court or to file a complaint with the competent data protection authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

6. Changes

"Swiss Civil Forum" may amend this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The most current version published on our website applies.
