​

The Poodle Society Club is responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Policy. We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

​

What this Privacy Policy is about
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and process personal data when you visit our website, purchase or book a ticket for an event, join a waiting list, contact us, interact with us on Instagram or other social media, or otherwise communicate with us in connection with the Poodle Society Club.

​

What personal data we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may process contact information such as your name, email address, and phone number if provided. We also collect booking and event information, including event registrations, ticket purchases, waiting list entries, and details necessary to organise and manage your participation. Ticket bookings and payments are processed through Eventfrog or other external booking and payment providers. Additionally, we process communication data contained in messages you send us by email or contact form, as well as technical data when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser and device information, date and time of access, and usage data.

​

Services and Technologies We Use
Our website is hosted and operated using Wix, which may process technical and usage data through cookies to provide and secure website functions. We use Eventfrog for event registration and ticketing; Eventfrog processes information required to complete and manage your booking, subject to their own privacy terms. We use Google Analytics to understand website usage and improve our services, which may collect device information, IP-related data, and interactions based on appropriate consent or applicable legal basis. We also operate our community social media channels and use Meta (Instagram) services for communication and advertising. When you interact with our social media content, Meta processes data independently in accordance with its own privacy policy.

​

How we use your personal data
We use personal data where necessary to process ticket purchases and registrations, manage waiting lists, organise and run events, communicate with participants, respond to enquiries, provide customer support, improve our website and services, and carry out marketing activities where permitted by law.

​

Legal Basis
Depending on the circumstances, we process personal data based on the performance of a contract (such as when you purchase a ticket), our legitimate interests (such as organising events, communicating with participants, and improving our services), or your consent where it is requested. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

​

Contact Form & Communication
If you contact us by email or through our contact form, we process the information you provide in order to respond to your enquiry and handle your request. We do not use information submitted through a contact enquiry for unrelated marketing purposes unless there is an appropriate legal basis to do so.

​

Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell your personal data. We may share or provide access to personal data with service providers that help us operate the Poodle Society Club, including Wix (website hosting), Eventfrog (ticketing), payment providers involved in the booking process, Google (analytics), Meta (social media and advertising), email providers, and other technical service providers where necessary.

​

International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside Switzerland, including in the European Union, the United States, or other countries. Where personal data is transferred abroad, we comply with the applicable requirements of Swiss data protection law and implement the required safeguards where necessary.

​

Cookies & Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, while others, like Google Analytics, help us analyse website usage or support marketing activities. Where required, we provide information about these technologies and obtain the appropriate consent before using non-essential cookies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

​

Marketing & Social Media

We use Instagram and other online marketing services to communicate about the Poodle Society Club and our events. When you interact with our social media profiles, the respective platform processes personal data independently. We may receive aggregated statistics or insights provided by these platforms to understand how our content performs.

​

Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law. Retention periods depend on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected. Booking, payment, and accounting information may be retained for longer periods where required by law.

​

Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or unauthorised disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage can guarantee complete security.

​

Your Rights
Subject to applicable legal requirements and limitations, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or request data portability where applicable. To exercise your rights or ask questions, please contact info@poodlesocietyclub.ch. You also have the right to contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.

​

Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when our services, technologies, or legal requirements change. The current version will always be published on our website.
