GENERAL
FONSART publishes the platform geneveMonde.ch. It believes that it is important that its users know which type of personal data are collected and processed when and for what purpose.
FONSART reserves the right to amend this Data Privacy Statement from time to time. We therefore recommend that you read this Data Privacy Statement regularly. The effective date can be found at the top of this document.
What are personal data?
Personal data means all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (e.g. name, address, telephone number, date of birth or email address).
As a rule, you can use our online platforms without providing any personal data. You need to provide your personal data if you wish to use certain online services such as subscribing to our newsletter, accessing comment features etc.
Thus, personal data are not processed as a matter of routine, but only in certain circumstances and for certain purposes. Which online platforms necessitate the processing of personal data?
In the context of the provision of FONSART’s online platforms, personal data are processed as follows:
A. Websites: processing personal data via log files, cookies (see longer document), analysis tools, contact forms and plugins for social networks and other service providers.
B. User-generated content: processing personnel data collected via forums, instant messaging (“chat”) and blogs in the form of user generated content.
C. Newsletters: processing personal data on the basis of your consent, which is provided at the time you subscribe to a newsletter.
D. Contact forms: processing personal data collected by way of a contact form to be used for sending suggestions or questions relating to our platforms.
Why are personal data processed?
They are processed for:
- Providing the online platforms for users
- Security of data and the optimisation of the online platforms (e.g. market research and ratings)
- Personalising the online platforms for users
- Sending newsletters by email
- The security of the data pertaining to users of the online platforms
What are the legal bases for FONSART processing personal data?
If we obtain your consent to process your personal data, this serves as the legal basis. This is the case with newsletters, comment posts or competitions, for example. We also process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests, which particularly include the provision and optimisation of our online platforms.
When personal data are processed under a legal obligation, this obligation serves as the legal basis. For example, these relate to obligations regarding the transfer of personal data to third parties, the storage period or the retention period.
TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD PARTIES
Are personal data transferred to third parties?
Generally, we only transfer your personal data to third parties if we have your consent or if we have a legitimate interest. Furthermore, we may transfer data to third parties if we are obliged to do so on the basis of legal provisions or an enforceable administrative or judicial order.
Are any third parties involved in the processing of data?
We use service providers to process data. Service providers are generally involved as contractors and are obliged to follow our instructions whilst processing the personal data of users of our online platforms. Your email address may therefore be transferred to a service provider in order for them to be able to send you the newsletter you have requested.
Are personal data disclosed to recipients situated in a third country (outside Switzerland / the EU / the EEA)?
We also transfer personal data to third parties or processors whose registered office is located outside Switzerland or an EU or EEA country. In this case, before disclosing the data, we will check whether the recipient offers an adequate level of data protection (e.g. on the basis of an adequacy decision for the respective country, self-certification of the recipient under the Swiss-US Privacy Shield (framework governing the transfer of personal data by a Swiss company to a US company), the use of standard EU contractual clauses or a contract similar to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or whether we have the consent of our users.
STORAGE PERIOD AND RETENTION PERIOD
For how long does FONSART store personal data?
We store your data for as long as necessary to make our online platforms and the associated services available or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing them. In all other cases, we will delete your personal data other than those that we must retain in accordance with our legal obligations (e.g. obligation to maintain).
RIGHTS OF USERS
What rights do you have as the data subject?
Right to information: The user has the right to ask the controller which personal data concerning him or her are being processed and whether such data are transferred to a third party.
Right to rectification: The user has the right to request the controller to rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning him or her.
Right to erasure: The user has the right to request the controller to erase personal data concerning him or her without delay if they are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or processed and there is no legal provision preventing them from being erased.
Right to the restriction of processing: The user has the right to request from the controller restriction of processing of his or her data.
Right to withdraw consent: The user has the right to revoke his or her consent regarding the processing of personal data concerning him or her at any time for one or more specific reasons if such processing is based on his or her explicit consent. Notwithstanding this revocation, the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent before such revocation remains unaffected.
Right to object: The user has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her at any time if such processing is based on a legitimate interest of the controller or a third party or if it is carried out for the purpose of direct marketing.

A time for dialogue
In 2003, a man from Geneva initiated a dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians far from the diplomatic arena. His aim: to achieve a two-state solution. The RTS archives bear witness to the dynamic generated by this ‘Geneva Initiative’.
