Privacy policy

HELSE Kulturverein, Zurichstrasse 167, 8057 Zürich, Switzerland. Contact: info@helse.ch.

This privacy policy describes how we process personal data of visitors to this site, members, event attendees and newsletter subscribers — in line with the Swiss Data Protection Act (nFADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data you provide voluntarily: full name, email address, phone number, membership and ticket-purchase details.

Technical data collected automatically when you visit the site: IP address, device and browser type, visit times and pages visited. This data is used only for security and basic statistics.

We process your data in order to: handle ticket purchases and membership, send newsletters and event announcements (where you have signed up), respond to your enquiries, and maintain the security and functionality of the site.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

Processing is based on your consent (newsletter sign-up), performance of a contract (ticket purchase, membership) and our legitimate interest (site security, basic analytics).

We do not sell or pass your data to third parties for marketing purposes. Limited data may be shared with trusted service providers (payment, email service, hosting) strictly to deliver the service.

Data may leave Switzerland and the EU only with appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses or an adequate level of protection).

We keep your data only as long as necessary for the stated purpose or required by law (e.g. accounting records). Subscriber lists are kept until you unsubscribe.

You have the right to access, rectify, delete, restrict processing and port your data, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, write to info@helse.ch.

If you believe the processing is unlawful, you may lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or the competent supervisory authority in the EU.

The site uses only strictly necessary cookies (e.g. language preference). We do not use third-party marketing cookies or advertising pixels. If we introduce analytics, we will ask for your consent in advance.

This policy may be updated from time to time. The current version is always available on this page, with the last-updated date at the top.
