Your data

Privacy policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026.

This policy explains which personal data we collect on this website, why, and how we process it. It complies with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, for people located in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Controller

Bridge2Education association, Villa Battelle, Route de Drize 7, 1227 Carouge (Genève), Switzerland – contact@bridge2education.ch

2. Data we collect

We only collect the data you enter in the contact form:

  • first name, last name, email address and, if you wish, phone number;
  • the purpose of your request (application, support, partnership, other) and your message;
  • for an application: your age, level of education and the programme you are interested in.

This website uses no advertising cookies, no analytics tools and no third-party trackers. Fonts are hosted on our own server.

3. Purposes and legal bases

  • Responding to your request and, where relevant, reviewing your application to a programme: pre-contractual steps and your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR).
  • Keeping the website secure and preventing abuse (spam filtering): legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We never use your data for advertising and never sell it.

4. Recipients and processors

Your data is only accessible to the committee members handling your request. The website and form are hosted by Netlify, Inc. (USA), acting as a processor. Any transfers to the USA are covered by appropriate safeguards (European Commission standard contractual clauses and/or the Swiss-U.S. / EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). If your application is accepted, the necessary information may be shared with our partner university (IUIT, Cameroon), with your prior consent.

5. Retention

We keep your data for as long as needed to handle your request, then for no more than 24 months after our last exchange, unless an ongoing relationship (programme participation, membership, partnership) justifies a longer period.

6. Your rights

You may at any time request access to, correction or deletion of your data, restrict or object to its processing, withdraw your consent or ask for data portability. Write to contact@bridge2education.ch. You may also lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, if you live in the European Union, with your national data protection authority.

7. Security

The website is served over HTTPS only. We take reasonable measures to protect your data against unauthorised access.

8. Changes

We may update this policy. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page.
