Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website is operated by FOOTBALL4iMPACT, an association registered in the commercial register of the canton of Vaud, Switzerland ("we", "us"). We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy.

Contact for privacy matters: info@football4impact.com

2. What data we collect

Enquiry form. When you submit the enquiry form we collect your name, your role, your school or organisation, your email address, your phone number (optional), the approximate number of participants, preferred timing, destination of interest, and anything you write in the message. The message is sent through Web3Forms, a form service that processes it and forwards it to us by email.

Emails. If you email us, we keep your message and our reply.

Technical data. Our hosting provider may record technical data such as IP address, browser type and the time of your visit in server logs, for security and to keep the site running.

Cookies and videos. This website does not use analytics or advertising cookies. Videos on this site load from Vimeo (or YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode) only after you click play; until then nothing is loaded from those services. Once you play a video, Vimeo or YouTube may set cookies under their own privacy policies.

3. Why we use your data

  • To respond to your enquiry and to plan a programme with you
  • To communicate with schools, sponsors and partners
  • To keep the website secure and working
  • To meet legal obligations

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on your consent, on steps taken at your request before a contract, and on our legitimate interest in running the organisation and replying to enquiries. Swiss law does not require a legal basis in the same form, but we follow the same principles.

5. Who receives your data

We share data only where necessary, with service providers who help us run the site and handle enquiries, for example Cloudflare (website hosting), Web3Forms (which processes enquiry form messages and forwards them to us by email) and our email provider. We do not sell personal data.

Some providers may store data outside Switzerland, including in the United States or the European Union. Where they do, we require appropriate safeguards.

6. How long we keep it

We keep enquiry data only as long as needed to handle the enquiry and any resulting programme, and for as long as the law requires.

7. Participants and parents

This website is intended for adults: school staff, sponsors, partners and parents. Personal data about participants, including young people, is collected separately through the school and our consent forms, and is covered by the information given with those forms. Photographs and video of participants are published only with consent, which can be withdrawn at any time.

8. Your rights

You can ask us to give you access to your data, correct it, delete it, restrict how we use it, or hand it to you in a usable format, and you can object to its use or withdraw consent at any time. Write to us at the contact address above.

You also have the right to complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or, if you are in the EU, to your local data protection authority.

9. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. No online service can be completely secure, so please send only the information needed for your enquiry.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. The latest version is always on this page, with its date at the top.
