The International Table Tennis Federation operates the
websites https://www.ittfeducation.com/ and https://dna.ittfeducation.com/ (hereinafter referred
to as "Website") and is responsible for collecting, processing and using your
personal data in compliance with the applicable data protection law. Your trust is important to us, which is why we take
the protection of data seriously and ensure appropriate security. We observe the
statutory provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the
Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (OFADP), the Telecommunications
Act (TCA) and other applicable data protection provisions of Swiss and
international law, in particular where applicable EU law. In this privacy policy, we inform about what personal
data we collect from you and for what purposes we use it. If you have any questions regarding data protection,
you can contact us by emailing ittf@ittf.com or at our Headquarter
at Avenue de Rhodanie 54,1007 Lausanne,Switzerland. When you visit our Website, our servers temporarily
store each access in a log file. The following technical data might be
collected without your intervention and stored by us for three (3) months, as
in principle with every connection to a web server: –
the IP address of the requesting computer, –
the date and time of the server request, –
the web page from which access was made (referrer
URL), possibly with the search terms used, and –
the status code (for example, error message, debug
information). The collection and processing of these data are
carried out for the purpose of enabling the use of our Website (establishing a
connection), ensuring system security and stability over the long term and
optimising our Internet offering as well as for internal statistical purposes. It
is within our legitimate interests to process such data. The IP address will also be used together with the
other data in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or other
unauthorised or abusive use of the Website to identify offenders in connection
with civil or criminal proceedings. The processing of this information is in
our legitimate interests to track your visit to our Website and to improve the Website
accordingly. When you register an account as a user to attend the

cookies such as: –
Essential cookies. Necessary for the operation of
the Site. We may use essential cookies to authenticate users, prevent
fraudulent use of user accounts, or offer Site features. –
Analytical/performance cookies. Allow us to
recognize and count the number of visitors and see how visitors move around the

Targeting cookies. Record your visit to the Site,
the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this
information to make the Site and the more relevant to your interests. We may
also share this information with third parties for this purpose. We use these cookies, for example, to understand which
content you view or temporarily store your entries when filling out a form on
the website, so that you do not have to repeat the entry when calling up
another subpage. Cookies may also be used to identify you as a registered user
after you register on the Website, without you having to log in again when you

However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your
computer or a message always appears when you receive a new cookie. Disabling cookies may prevent you from using some

We use the web analysis service of Google Analytics
for the purpose of designing and continuously optimising our website to meet
your needs. In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and small
text files stored on your computer ("cookies") are used. The
information generated by the cookies about your use of our website is
transferred to the servers of the provider of these services, stored there and
processed for us. In addition to the data listed in section 1, we may receive the following information: –
navigation path of a visitor to the site, –
time spent on the website or a subpage, –
the subpage on which the website is left, –
the country, region or city from which access is made,
–
the device (type, version, colour depth, resolution,
width and height of the browser window), and –
if you are a recurring or new visitor. The information is used to evaluate the use of the
website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services
related to the use of the website and the internet for purposes of market
research and need-based design of this website. In addition, this information
may be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third
parties process such data on our behalf. The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc, a
company of the holding company Alphabet Inc, based in the USA. Before the data collected
on this website within the European Union or in a state that is part of the European
Economic Area is transmitted to the provider, the IP address is shortened by
activating IP anonymisation ("anonymizeIP"). The anonymous IP address
transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with
other Google data. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted
to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In such cases, we provide
contractual warranties to ensure that Google Inc. maintains an adequate level
of data protection. According to Google Inc., under no circumstances will the
IP address be associated with other data relating to you. Further information about the web analysis service
used can be found on the Google Analytics website. Instructions on how to
prevent your data from being processed by the web analysis service can be found
at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

We only store personal data for as long as is
necessary for the above described uses and further processing in the context of
our legitimate interests. Contract data is stored by us for a longer period of
time, as this is prescribed by statutory obligations. Such obligations primarily
arise out of accounting law, civil law and tax law. According to these laws,
business communication, concluded contracts and accounting vouchers must be
stored for up to 10 years. If we no longer need this data to carry out the
services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then
only be used for accounting and tax purposes.

parties if you have expressly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do
so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular, to enforce
claims arising from the contractual relationship. In addition, we disclose your

personal data to Moodle Pty Ltd For the handling of personal data, please refer to
the data protection policy of Moodle Pty Ltd. The valid data

We embed YouTube videos on our website. YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave,
San Bruno, CA 94066, USA is the operator of such plugins. When you watch a
YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube servers is established.
This will tell YouTube which video you have been watching. If you have a
YouTube account and are logged in, YouTube may personally associate your
browsing behavior with you. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube
account beforehand. For more detailed information about how YouTube may process
your data and your setting options, please, check the privacy policy of
YouTube. The processing of your data in connection with YouTube is based on your
consent. We use social media
plug-ins, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Flickr. By clicking
on these pug-ins your IP-address, our website URL and cookies will be
transferred to the relevant social media service for you to access their
website. The access these social media providers have to your personal data is
dependent on each company. For information on the purpose, scope of data
collection and how your data is processed as well as used by these social media
provides is described in their respective privacy policies. We recommend that
you read the privacy policies of these social media providers carefully before
using their services.
We are entitled to transfer your personal data to
third parties (contracted service providers) abroad for the purpose of the data
processing described in this privacy policy. These are bound to protect data to
the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does
not correspond to that in Switzerland or Europe, we will contractually ensure
that the protection of your personal data always corresponds to that in
Switzerland or Europe. Anything else you need
to know?
You have a right to request information about the
personal data that we store about you. In addition, you have a right to correct
incorrect data and a right to request deletion of your personal data, insofar
as there is no legal obligation to retain such data and no legal basis for
further processing the existing data. You also have a right to request the data that you
have provided to us (right to data portability). Upon request, we will transfer
your data to a third party of your choice. You have a right to receive the data
in a common file format. You can contact us for the aforementioned purposes via
the e-mail address ittf@ittf.com. In order to process
your requests, we may request proof of your identity. In many countries, you also have the right to file a
complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you have concerns
about how we process your data. These rights depend on the applicable data protection
legislation and may be either more limited or more comprehensive.
We use suitable technical and organisational security
measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation,
partial or complete loss and against unauthorised access by third parties. Our
security measures are continuously improved in line with technological
developments. You should always treat your access data
confidentially and close the browser window when you have finished
communicating with us, especially if you share your computer, tablet or
smartphone with others. We also care about data protection internally. Our
employees and the service providers are contractually obliged to ensure
confidentiality of personal data and compliance with applicable data protection
laws.
For the sake of completeness, for users residing or
domiciled in the EU or in Switzerland, we would like to point out that in the
USA there are surveillance measures by US authorities which generally allow
them to get access to all personal data that has been transferred from the EU
or Switzerland to the USA. This is done without differentiation, limitation or
exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective criterion
that would allow limiting the access to the data and subsequent use thereof by
US authorities to very specific, strictly limited purposes that could justify
the interference associated both with access to and use of such data. In addition, we would
like to point out that in the USA there are no legal remedies available for the
persons concerned from the EU or Switzerland that would allow them to gain
access to the data concerning them and to obtain its correction or deletion, or
that there is no effective legal protection against general access rights of US
authorities. We explicitly draw your attention to this legal and factual situation
in order to enable an informed decision to consent to the use of your data. We would like to point out to users residing in an EU
member state that, from the point of view of the European Union, the USA does
not have an adequate level of data protection, partly due to the issues
mentioned in this section. Insofar as we have explained in this privacy
statement that recipients of data (such as Google) are based in the USA, we
will ensure that your data is protected at an appropriate level by our service
providers, either through contractual arrangements with these companies or by
ensuring that these companies are certified under the EU or Swiss-US Privacy
Shield.
You have the right to complain to a data protection
supervisory authority at any time.
This privacy policy and the contracts concluded on the
basis of or in connection with this policy are subject to Swiss law, unless the
law of another country is mandatory. The place of jurisdiction shall be the
registered office of ITTF, unless another place of jurisdiction is mandatory.
Should individual parts of this privacy policy be
invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the rest of the privacy policy.
The invalid part of this privacy policy shall be replaced in such a way that it
comes as close as possible to the economically intended purpose of the invalid
part. Due to the further development of our website and
offers or changes to the statutory requirements, it may become necessary to
amend this privacy policy. The most current privacy policy is published on our
website.
