Version: January 2018

Your privacy is important to Humanium. The objective of this Privacy Policy « Policy » is to provide you with an understanding of how we interact with you and give you the option to, at any time, change your preferences. You are and will always remain the owner of your personal data.

Introduction

As Art.4 GDPR defines ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Please note: Humanium’s website contains links to other websites. Humanium is not responsible for the practices and privacy of these websites, nor are we responsible for their content and the ways in which they work. However, you can be sure that we read their privacy policy before interacting with such other websites and do strongly recommend to you, to read their privacy policy, too, before you think of interacting with them.

Information given to us

Personal information

We do not collect any personal information from our website visitors unless they explicitly and intentionally provide it. No personal information is collected about you if you are just paying our website a visit, however, we work with Google Analytics,  https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, as well as with Facebook Pixel, https://www.facebook.com/legal/FB_Work_Privacy both of which must be able to give you the details.

There are two ways in which you can explicitly and intentionally give us personal information or authorise us to collect it.

E-mail or newsletter information request

Our site contains links enabling you to contact us by e-mail in order to ask questions, to request information and documents or to let us know your comments and suggestions. When you register you must state whether you accept this type of contact. If you accept, we may ask you for further information such as your name and telephone number in order to fulfil your request.

We will only send you information about our projects if you have authorised us to do so. You are free to change your mind at any point by unsubscribing via the link in our marketing e-mails (normally at the foot of the e-mail), or by contacting our Legal Director at arndt.soret@humanium.org.

How will we use the personal information that we gather, and who will we share it with?

When you provide Humanium with any personal information, we treat it in accordance with our legal obligations.

The principal use of the information that you give to Humanium is to:

  • communicate with you
  • provide you with information about Humanium and our projects.

Note, that in case you provide your credit card data, this is not shared with Humanium but with your bank/payment providers only.

Data conservation

We will ensure that all personal information is stored safely in accordance with the legal obligations that Humanium agreed to (Swiss law, notably the federal law on data protection), https://www.admin.ch/opc/en/classified-compilation/19920153/index.html.

In case you apply to work with us and provide your CV, be ensured that this follows our retention policy and your CV and email is deleted immediately, in case of an unsuccessful application, otherwise will remain with us for your employment with us.

We generally answer all questions, enquiries about Humanium and our projects that we receive through email. We also may use these mails in order to improve our projects and our website. We frequently store contacts in order to send individual updates or any other relevant information concerning our projects.

Transferring your personal data

Your personal data are safe with Humanium and we do not send them to any third parties.
