Privacy policy

Dyrenes Alliance is responsible for your personal data. We want to protect your privacy and respect your wishes about how you want to communicate with us. When you participate in our promotions, browse our website, or meet us in other contexts, we will be guided by this privacy policy. It explains what information we collect and how we use it to better help animals in need.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

What personal data do we collect from you?

We collect various information that you actively make available to us. This includes your name, email, address, social security number (if you have provided it to us in connection with a financial contribution) and telephone number. If you support us financially, we also store information related to your support so that it can be created.

If you take part in a user survey, for example to improve our membership magazine or website, we will store the results. The same applies to surveys about your interests in relation to our work, for example if you want to receive information about or support a particular aspect of our work.

Personal data obtained from third parties

We may supplement the information we collect from you with information we receive from third parties. For example, if we receive your membership magazine back, we may check whether your address has changed so that you can receive it correctly. This may also include information we receive from third parties who provide our payment solutions to enable payment when you support the animals.

Why do we collect your personal data?

On what basis do we process your data?

By supporting our campaigns, we assume a legitimate interest from you and from us to keep you informed of the impact of your actions, such as signing a petition, and to provide you with the opportunity to become more involved with and supportive of Dyrenes Alliance.

Who can we share your personal data with?

Partners and service providers
Dyrenes Alliance will generally never sell your information or pass it on to other companies or organizations. The only exception to this rule is if we are doing a joint campaign with other organizations, e.g. to collect signatures to influence the EU, and therefore collectively submit the signatures. In such a case, this will be clearly stated.

However, we can hire companies to perform a task for us. e.g. to provide infrastructure and IT services (including, but not limited to, data storage), to process credit and debit card transactions, to provide customer service, as well as to improve data, perform other types of statistical analysis.

When a company performs a task for us, they may access your personal data, but only the data that we give them to perform the task, and the data may only be used in accordance with our instructions.  

Where do we process your personal data?

If our service providers host, process or store data in a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"), your data may be transferred there. This may be processed by employees working for us or for one of our suppliers located outside the EEA. Such staff may, for example, be involved in fulfilling your order, processing your payment details and performing our support services. We take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that your personal data is processed securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and have put in place appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data.

How do we protect your personal data?

Protecting your personal data is important to us. Any personal information you give us is stored on secure servers and we have clear workflows in place to protect against loss or compromise.

How can you access your personal data?

We understand that from time to time you may need further information from us about your personal data and how it is processed, or that you may wish to update or correct the personal data you have provided to us.
