We only collect and use personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website as well as our contents and services.
We primarily process the personal data that we receive from donors, customers and other business partners or that we collect from their users when operating our website. We use personal data to carry out donations and bequests, to set up personal donation campaigns, to answer your questions, to operate and improve our website and to provide further information about the work and use of donations from the Foundation Menschen für Menschen.
In principle, you can access our website without having to provide any personal information. Only non-personal usage data such as your IP address, the pages visited, the browser used, date, time, etc. are evaluated anonymously to improve our website. No personal conclusions will be drawn from this.
If you support us with a donation, subscribe to our electronic newsletter or disclose your personal data by e-mail, telephone or post, we will use your personal data exclusively to inform you about our projects and the use of your donations as well as other news. If you do not want this, we will adapt to your request at any time and change your contact details, reduce the frequency and method of delivery or block your address so that you do not receive any further mailings.
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (e.g. when registering to receive newsletters), we will process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis and require one. A given consent can be revoked at any time, but this has no effect on data processing that has already taken place.
We only store personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purpose and/or due to statutory obligations to provide evidence and keep records as well as regulatory requirements.
The protection of your personal data is very important to us and therefore the duty of all employees of Menschen für Menschen. The Foundation does not deal with addresses, does not rent, sell or exchange personal data and complies with the applicable data protection regulations of Switzerland (DSG), the EU (DSGVO) and the requirements of ZEWO.
We commit ourselves to protect your privacy and to treat your personal data confidentially. In order to prevent the loss or misuse of data stored by us, we take appropriate technical and organisational security precautions, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.
Despite organizational and technical measures, the processing of personal data on the Internet can always have security gaps, so that absolute data protection and absolute data security cannot be guaranteed. In particular, unencrypted data – e.g. if this is done by e-mail – can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the responsibility of the user to protect the data provided by him against misuse by encryption or in any other way.
You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. The registration for our newsletter is done with the “Double Opt-in”-procedure, i.e. registrations must be expressly confirmed in the context of a confirmation e-mail so that no abusive registration with a foreign e-mail address is possible. Subscriptions to our newsletter are logged so that we can verify confirmation according to the double opt-in procedure if required.
When you register for our newsletter, we use the information you provide to send you the newsletter. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can unsubscribe easily via the link in the footer of the newsletter, by phone or by e-mail.

With the help of the following two service providers, information about the surfing behavior of website visitors is collected and stored on this website for marketing purposes and for the continuous improvement of the offer in anonymized and/or pseudonymized form:
With the help of a so-called “web bug”, page visitors can be identified technically and without personal reference and pseudonymous profiles can then be created. The data is then stored on your computer in an encrypted and compressed form using cookies. This cookie is only accessible to the visitor and the service provider.
The service providers analyze the surfing behavior and can then display targeted recommendations as personalized advertising banners on other websites. Under no circumstances can this data be used to personally identify the visitor to this website. The data collected will only be used to improve the offer. Any other use or passing on to third parties does not take place. The data determined by the offer do not contain any personal data.
The Foundation Menschen für Menschen has been included in the Google AdGrants advertising program, which enables us to place free Google Ads on Google. Within this framework, we use conversion tracking. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Menschen für Menschen and Google can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced through the websites of Google Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that personally identifies users. Users who do not wish to participate in tracking can easily deactivate the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via their Internet browser under “User Settings”. These users are not included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You also have the right to revoke your data protection consent at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
