PRIVACY POLICY
Swiss Skydive privacy policy
Swiss Skydive (SSD) is aware of its responsibility in handling data and is committed to the correct handling of your data in accordance with Swiss data protection laws, taking into account the European GDPR.
This privacy policy describes the general data protection procedures. This includes the collection, processing, use and disclosure of personal data of our members and users of the websites.
Why and how is your personal data collected and used?
Access to websites and online services
In order to open one of our websites or use an online service, information is stored that is required for access, operation of the website and compliance with technical and legal requirements in connection with the operation of our website. This includes, for example, passwords, IP address and web browser settings, which are stored anonymously for the duration of a session.
Information, ordering or support
When you contact us (online or offline), we collect the information we need to fulfill your request and provide you with access to the relevant product or service. For example, we collect your name and contact information, details of your request, your agreement with us and the fulfillment, delivery and billing of your order. You must be registered to order most services and products. By registering, you can also view and adjust your personal data at any time.
Use of personal data
The information we collect about you comes from our direct interactions with you. When you register for an event or course, we may collect information (online or offline) in relation to the
event organization. We combine the personal data collected in order to carry out our association activities and services to our members in accordance with our Articles of Association. The personal member data is stored centrally in a database. Disclosure, if at all, is centrally controlled and documented. The use of personal data is restricted. For example, it is only used for communication with registered members or partner associations, such as sending necessary member data to the FAI when an FAI licence is applied for, as well as registration data for events and championships to organizers or to synchronize member data with the umbrella organization AeCS. Consent to the use of the data for the aforementioned purposes is given by the members when registering.
Security and quality of information
We are committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring its accuracy. SSD has implemented physical, administrative and technical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure. For example, certain particularly sensitive personal data (e.g. credit card details or passwords) is encrypted when it is transmitted over the Internet. We also require our partners to protect this data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
Storage period
Personal data will not be kept longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is processed, including the fulfillment of legal or regulatory obligations (e.g. auditing, billing and statutory retention periods), the handling of disputes and the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Rights and contact
You can request information about your personal data. You also have the right to object to direct marketing.
You may have additional rights under the law applicable to you in relation to data processing. For example, if the processing of your personal data is subject to the provisions of the GDPR and your personal data is processed based on legitimate interest, you have the right to object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation. Under the GDPR, you also have the right to request the erasure, restriction of processing and transfer of your personal data.
If you have a question about this privacy policy, please contact us by email: office@swissskydive.org
Right of appeal
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the applicable data protection laws, you can lodge a complaint.
