Personal Data

When you contact FXB to order an item from our online shop, request information, subscribe to our newsletter, support a specific action or donate, you are providing FXB with personal data. We use this data solely to keep you posted on the various topics we deal with and about upcoming actions and projects. Personal data such as date of birth serve when we organise age-related activities, and telephone numbers allow us to ask you or give you information about an order placed in our online shop.

The data remains exclusively FXB’s possession. External service providers – for example, printers for our donation appeals – are subject to the Data Protection Act and are not permitted, under our agreements, to use it for other purposes or to pass it on.

For each of our publications, it is possible to unsubscribe by e-mail (info@fxb.org) or by telephone (tel. 022 741 00 30) or to customise the mailings’ frequency.

Online Donations

FXB treats all payment data with the utmost confidentiality. FXB is a non-profit organisation recognised by Zewo.
