In accordance with the requirements of the FADP, the Tapriza NGO announces the data collection to the data subjects in an appropriate form (on all forms, on the website as a footer, etc.).

Only data necessary for fulfilling the organizational tasks of the Tapriza NGO is collected and processed.

Data protection is the responsibility of all employees of the Tapriza NGO. Data protection measures, and in particular requests for information from data subjects, are coordinated by the association's board. In the case of links to external sites, we assume no responsibility for their content and privacy practices.
