If you have contacted WWF Slovakia by email, subscribed to our newsletter, or are a visitor to our website, you are entrusting us with some of your personal data. We need it to disseminate information about our conservation activities and to share it with you.

We use dedicated company products to secure certain activities (e.g., sending out mass email communications). These are called intermediaries and may come into contact with your personal data. These are mainly companies such as Google or MailChimp.
We process personal data in the countries of the European Union. Some of our processors (e.g. Google or MailChimp) may also process data in third countries (outside the European Union). We make sure that we work with processors that are professional companies that protect personal data at the highest level.
