Why we collect data and what we collect

We collect data for different purposes, on different legal bases and for certain periods of time, as set out below:

a) Promotion of the existence, purpose and activities of the Foundation - we will seek out, identify, inform, approach and communicate with the final beneficiaries of projects suitable for support from the Foundation, confirm interest in a particular project, conduct marketing campaigns to promote our activities and connect individual final beneficiaries with individuals and entities involved in the implementation of initiatives, activities and projects supported by the Foundation.

We may process your personal data to determine the content, scope and details of initiatives, activities and projects, to identify suitable target beneficiaries and to assess and decide whether you are eligible for Foundation support. We usually base the processing of your personal data on your consent and will inform you of the length of such processing whenever we ask for it.

b) Internal record keeping and protection of our rights and interests - we may process your personal data for the purpose of keeping internal records of our activities (in particular, providing funds to legal or natural persons implementing initiatives, activities and projects in accordance with the purpose of the Foundation, reporting to the recipient on the progress of these initiatives, activities and projects and on compliance with the conditions for the use of the funds) and protecting our interests. Our legal basis for such processing is our legitimate interest in maintaining such documentation and in protecting ourselves. We may retain your data for this purpose for up to 10 years after the donation.

c) Compliance with legal obligations imposed by accounting, tax and other legal regulations - we will process your personal data if we are required to do so by law (in order to benefit from tax advantages provided to non-profit organizations, we must document and prove that the funds were provided in accordance with the foundation's beneficial purpose). In such cases, our legal basis for processing will be the fulfilment of our legal obligation. The duration of this processing will be in line with legal requirements or necessary to comply with legal obligations.
