Privacy policy
- General
Data protection and security (in particular confidentiality and integrity) are a high priority for Aids-Hilfe Schweiz.
We have taken appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continually being improved in line with developments in technology. - Purpose of the website
The purpose of the Aids-Hilfe Schweiz is to provide reliable information to the general population about the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, and to give people who live with HIV and AIDS basic knowledge about the various aspects of the disease. There is a contact form that provides an opportunity to obtain legal advice and send general questions to the organisation. General questions via contact form - Purpose / disclosure to third parties / storage / deletion of data
Personal information is needed to be able to process requests. To process general questions, at least one e-mail address (anonymous if preferred) is necessary (for any queries if something is unclear). No data are disclosed to third parties.
Legal advice
For legal advice we need only one valid e-mail address (anonymous if preferred). The security of this information is fully guaranteed. Personal data are not used in the statistical evaluation of advisory activity. Your completed advice form is transmitted in encrypted form using SSL (Secure Socket Layer).
Aids-Hilfe Schweiz also advises users who wish to remain as anonymous as possible to set up an anonymised webmail address (e.g. at hotmail.com, gmx.ch etc.) - Web analysis by Google Analytics
