This website is published by Free Press Unlimited. All personal data you provide is handled with the utmost care, remains strictly confidential and will not be passed on to third parties. We process these data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Personal data
This privacy statement applies to the processing of personal data provided by donors, gift givers, volunteers, (freelance) employees, participants and contacts, and data acquired from visits to and use of our website.
By personal data we mean all information about an identifiable natural person (the ‘data subject’). This means information that is directly about a person or can be traced back to this person. With this privacy statement, Free Press Unlimited would like to inform you about what personal data we collect for which purposes.
Purposes of data processing
During your visit to this website, Free Press Unlimited may collect personal data about you. For example, when you subscribe to our newsletter, request information, ask a question, react on our website or establish contact with us in another way. We may also collect information that you have shared with us via social media, when you like us, share posts, participate in a promotional activity or contact us.
Free Press Unlimited shall only use these data for the purposes described below:
1. To contact you and to inform you about Free Press Unlimited projects. For example, when you use the contact form, the donor form or subscribe to the newsletter on our website.
2. To register web statistics.
3. For the proper fulfillment of the task of the organisation. For example, the conclusion of agreements and relationship management (CRM).
Retention period
Retaining personal data may be necessary for the proper performance of the tasks of the company or to comply with legal obligations. Personal data are not kept longer than necessary.
When you fill out the contact form on our website or send us an email, then we shall keep and process the personal data you send us for as long as this is necessary. How long they are kept depends on the nature of the form or the content of the email and the complete answering and handling thereof. In addition we may keep emails we receive insofar as this is necessary for the proper execution of our regular activities.
Newsletters
For all our mailing lists, your email address shall only be added to the list of subscribers with your consent. Every newsletter contains a clear link with which you can unsubscribe. We manage the maintenance, management and the security of software for the mailing lists ourselves.
Contact information management
We use the open source software CiviCRM to manage our contact data. This software is run under our own management on our own servers.
If, in the context of our work, you have voluntarily provided us with contact information with the intention that we can reach you via these contact details, for example by providing us with a business card, we save these data for the purpose of managing our relationships.
Data from contacts can also be stored locally in the personal address books of Free Press Unlimited employees. Of course we will delete your contact information from our systems on request.
Special personal data
Free Press Unlimited does not collect data pertaining to political views, race, religious views, health, criminal information or other matters.
Security
Free Press Unlimited ensures the personal data are correct and complete before these are processed. Free Press Unlimited has taken physical, technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. We use a secure server that is accessible only to authorised persons. This should prevent personal data being accessed or modified by persons not authorised to do so.
We shall never pass on your personal data to third parties, if this does not explicitly follow our privacy statement. The only two exceptions to this are:
- If we explicitly request your consent prior to the provision to third parties;
- If we are legally required to do so, and only after we have done our utmost to avoid provision on the basis of a legal obligation.
Our website uses a reliable SSL Certificate to guarantee that your personal data do not fall into the wrong hands. We take every measure that can be reasonably expected to arrange security in the best way possible.
Other activities
For all other activities and events organised by Free Press Unlimited, like Free Press Live or other campaigns where the input from stakeholders is requested, Free Press Unlimited shall ask for as little personal data as possible. If we work jointly with other organisations on campaigns, for example in the European context, we shall insist that a clear privacy policy is conducted.

Links to other websites do not fall under the responsibility of Free Press Unlimited.
