Kwa Wazee Association
Buchenstrasse 47
4054 Basel
E-Mail: sekretariat@kwawazee.ch

2. General Data Collection When Visiting the Website (Hosting)

When you access our website, our hosting provider automatically stores technical data (so-called server log files). This includes the IP address, the date and time of access, the browser used, and the operating system. This data is technically necessary for the secure, stable, and error-free operation of the website.

3. Use of WordPress

This website is based on the WordPress content management system.

Technical cookies: By default, WordPress sets a minimal number of technically necessary cookies to control functions such as the admin area or language selection.

4. Contact Forms

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact forms provided on the website, your information—including the contact details you provide there (e.g., name, email address, message)—will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions.

Should data be transferred to WPForms in the U.S. as part of updates or technical cloud functions, please note that we ensure the protection of your data through appropriate settings and data protection safeguards. The data will be deleted as soon as your inquiry has been fully processed and there are no legal retention requirements that prevent this.

Use of Cloudflare Turnstile

We use the Cloudflare Turnstile service on our website to verify whether data entered into the contact form is submitted by a human or an automated bot. The provider is Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Type of data processed: During the check, Cloudflare collects various device signals (including IP address, TLS fingerprint, User-Agent header, and session duration). Form entries themselves are not read.

Legal basis: The processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in protecting our website infrastructure against unauthorized access and spam.

In addition, the specific Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum applies to this service. Within this framework, Cloudflare also processes the collected signals under its own data protection responsibility (as a data controller) to optimize and further develop its global algorithms for detecting bot threats.

Further information on data processing and your rights to object can be found directly in Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum as well as in the general Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

5. Disclosure to Third Parties

We treat your data confidentially. We will only disclose your data to third parties if this is technically necessary to provide the website (e.g., to our hosting provider in Switzerland) or if we are legally required to do so.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to receive, free of charge, information about your personal data stored by us. You also have the right to have this data corrected, restricted, or deleted, provided that no legal retention obligation (e.g., for accounting data) prevents this. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the address listed above.
