At Bevel ON Association, your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the ways we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal data when you visit our website, https://www.bevelon.ch (the “Website”), or engage with our services. By accessing or using our Website, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please refrain from using our services.
Bevel ON Association is committed to complying with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to ensure that your personal data is handled securely and responsibly.
We collect personal and non-personal data to enhance your experience and provide the services you request. Personal data refers to information that identifies you directly, such as your name, email address, and contact details. You may provide this data when you sign up for newsletters, donate, or communicate with us through our Website. Non-personal data, including your browser type, IP address, and usage patterns, is collected automatically when you visit our Website to help us understand how users interact with our platform and improve its functionality.
In addition to the data you provide, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. These tools collect information about your browsing behavior, preferences, and session details. By continuing to use our Website, you agree to our use of cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
The data we collect serves multiple purposes. Primarily, we use it to provide the services you request, such as processing donations, managing event registrations, and responding to your inquiries. We also use your data to send newsletters and updates if you have attended any of our workshops, meetings, events or subscribed to our mailing list. Beyond this, we rely on aggregated, non-identifiable data to analyze website usage and improve our platform’s design, functionality, and content.
In some instances, we may use your personal data to comply with legal obligations or enforce our terms and conditions. For example, payment information provided during donations may be retained to meet tax and regulatory requirements. All data usage is in accordance with applicable laws and based on your consent, our legitimate interests, or contractual obligations.
Your personal data will not be sold or rented to third parties. However, there are scenarios in which we may share your information. We work with trusted service providers who assist us with website hosting, payment processing, and email communications. These partners are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and use it solely for the purposes agreed upon.
In rare circumstances, we may disclose your data to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to court orders or preventing fraud and security threats. If we ever intend to share your data with third parties for purposes beyond what is outlined here, we will seek your explicit consent.
As Bevel ON Association operates on a global scale, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your residence. These transfers are conducted in compliance with applicable data protection regulations. Where required, we implement safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure your data is protected, regardless of location.
Your personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. For instance, donation records are retained for accounting and legal compliance, while communication data may be kept to respond effectively to your inquiries.
We implement industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections and secure servers, to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we continuously review and improve our practices to minimize risks.
You have several rights concerning your personal data, as outlined under GDPR and other applicable laws. You may request access to your data, ask for corrections to inaccurate information, or request the deletion of your data when it is no longer needed. Additionally, you have the right to withdraw consent for specific uses, such as marketing communications, and request the transfer of your data to another service provider.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at impact@bevelon.ch. We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days.
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we handle your data.
