When you subscribe to the newsletter, we collect the email address and the information strictly necessary to manage the subscription.

When a donation is made, data related to the payment may also be processed. The operational payment details are mainly handled by the providers selected during checkout.

Why we process data

  • to respond to requests sent through the contact form;
  • to manage newsletter subscriptions, confirmations, and related communications;
  • to process or record donations and related receipts;
  • to ensure technical security, site stability, and abuse prevention.

Legal basis

We process data on the basis of consent when you voluntarily submit forms or request to receive communications.

Some processing may also rely on pre-contractual or contractual measures, compliance with legal obligations, and legitimate interest in protecting the proper functioning of the website and the association.

Data sharing

Data may be processed by technical and organizational providers strictly necessary for service delivery, such as hosting, email, and payment platforms.

We do not sell or transfer personal data to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

Retention period

We retain data only for the time necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and, where required, for the periods established by administrative, accounting, or tax obligations.

Your rights

You may request access, rectification, updating, erasure, restriction of processing, objection, or data portability where provided by applicable law.

You may also withdraw your consent at any time for processing based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
