What this website does not do

What stays in your browser
Your browser keeps two small choices on your device, only if you use the switches in the footer. They are never sent to us.
sk-motion: whether you turned motion off.sk-theme: whether you chose the light, dark or automatic theme.
In demo mode, while no payment provider is connected, the page remembers the gift you tried in your browser session under sk-demo-gift so the thank-you page can show it. It holds an amount, a frequency and a fund. It holds no personal data and disappears when you close the tab.
Forms
When you send a form (contact, newsletter, volunteer or company partnership), we use the details you type to answer you. The form sends one email through Microsoft 365 to our team. The website keeps no copy. The email then sits in our mailbox until we no longer need it to answer you or to meet a legal duty.
Legal basis: your request and your consent, and our legitimate interest in answering you.
Server logs
Our server logs the method, the path, the status and the time of each request. It does not log IP addresses.
Rate limiting
To stop abuse of the forms, the server keeps a network address in memory for ten minutes at most. It is not written to disk.
Payments
Gifts are processed by RaiseNow AG, a Swiss provider of payments for charities, in its secure form on our page /give/pay. That form loads from RaiseNow and its payment partners (for cards, TWINT, PayPal and wallets); they receive your payment details and the name, email and address you give for the receipt. Card details never reach our server. RaiseNow processes these data on our behalf and under its own privacy notice, and tells us the gift, the fund and the details for your Swiss tax receipt. RaiseNow's form is loaded only on that page, and only when you go to pay.
Hosting
The website is delivered through the network of Cloudflare, Inc., which processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver pages and protect the site against attacks. Our own web server does not store visitors' IP addresses.
Your rights
You may ask us for access to your data, correction, deletion, a copy, or to limit or object to our use of it. Write to info@sakidan.org. You may also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, or to the authority where you live in the EU or EEA.
