Privacy Policy

Welcome to loveaction.ch (the 'Website'), operated by the Zariya Foundation ('ZARIYA'). ZARIYA takes your data protection seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy and how we use your data before you continue using the Website.

1. What This Privacy Policy Covers

This privacy policy covers how we handle personally identifiable information that's collected when you're on the Website and when you use the Website services, as described in this privacy policy.

This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that ZARIYA doesn't own or control, or to people that ZARIYA doesn't employ or manage, including, but not limited to:

  • Third-party advertisers or sponsors you provide information to;
  • Other websites you visit from ours (through links).

ZARIYA isn't responsible for the privacy policies of other websites. We suggest you check out their policies to see how they collect, use, and share your info.

2. How We Collect and Use Your Info

ZARIYA won't collect any personal data just from you visiting our homepage or browsing the site, unless we specifically say so in this policy or on the website.

Here's when we collect personal data:

  • RegistrationYou sign up for an account, an event, make a transaction, or join a promotion or giveaway. This includes:
    • Your email address, first and last name, address, postal code, and country;
    • Passport/ID number, nationality, birthday, and gender;
    • Billing address, credit card details, your chosen username, password, and answers to security questions.
  • Automatic Logging: Your browser automatically sends us stuff like your IP address, cookie info, and which pages you've visited.

How We Use It: To personalize ads/content based on what you tell us and what you do, for research, to fulfill your requests, and to get in touch with you.

Our legal basis for this is the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and its related Ordinance (FADP-O).

3. Donations

ZARIYA collects info about your donations (whether online or offline) so we can get in touch with you (like sending donation confirmations) via email, mail, or any other contact details you've given us.

4. We Don't Sell Your Personal Info

ZARIYA won't sell or rent your data to anyone else.

5. Sharing Your Information

We might share personal data when:

  • You've given us your clear permission;
  • It's necessary to provide a product or service (like managing a competition);
  • Service providers are working for ZARIYA and have confidentiality agreements with us;
  • We have to respond to legal requests (like subpoenas or court orders);
  • It's needed to prevent illegal activities, fraud, or security risks;
  • It's required by law.

6. Cookies

ZARIYA uses cookies (those little text files on your computer) to:

  • to recognize you when you come back;
  • to show you content or ads that match what you like;
  • to create anonymous stats to make our website even better.

Types of Cookies:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary and disappear once you leave our site;
  • Persistent Cookies: These stick around for a bit longer (how long depends on their 'lifespan').

7. Ads from Other Companies

Other advertisers might place their own cookies, and how they use them is covered by their own privacy policy. Just so you know, ZARIYA's cookies aren't available to these other companies.

8. Turning Cookies On or Off

You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Just a heads-up, if you turn them off, some parts of our website might not work as well.

How to do it: Just open your browser's 'Help' menu and search for 'Cookies'.

9. Keeping Your Info Safe

We do our best with technical and organizational steps to protect your data from getting lost or accessed by someone who shouldn't. But remember, the internet isn't 100% secure – we can't promise that nobody will ever find a way around our security.

A quick note about emails: Sending info via email isn't always super secure. If you send us sensitive stuff this way, you're accepting that there's a risk it might not stay completely private.

10. How Long We Keep Your Data

We only keep your data for as long as it's needed for the reason we collected it.

11. Your Right to See Your Information

You're welcome to see the data we have stored about you. Just get in touch with us at info@LoveAction.ch.

We might:

  • Ask for proof of your identity;
  • Charge a small admin fee for copies;
  • Say no to access in special cases (as allowed by data protection laws).

12. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We'll update this policy whenever we need to. Any changes will be posted right here. If there are any big changes, we'll make sure to let you know with a clear notice on our website.
