We keep your data for as long as necessary for the purposes described: contact requests are kept for the duration of their processing and, where applicable, of the resulting relationship; newsletter subscription addresses are kept until you unsubscribe; technical logs are kept for a limited period by the host.

8. Transfers outside the European Union

Your data is in principle processed within the European Union. If a provider were to process data outside the EU, this transfer would be governed by appropriate safeguards in accordance with the GDPR (for example the European Commission's standard contractual clauses).

The Foundation implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration.
