The protection of your privacy and, in particular, data protection are important to Swiss Ice Hockey. Swiss Ice Hockey is therefore committed to handling all collected data with care and respects the provisions of the Swiss Data Protection Act when collecting and gathering data.

The collected personal data is, as a rule, not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so.

Swiss Ice Hockey reserves the right to use the collected personal data not only for the original purpose of collection, but also to inform people of additional services and news.

Everyone has the right to access data which has been collected concerning him or her and the right to have it deleted (e-mail to: info@sihf.ch). Personal data is kept safe and protected against third party access using the latest technology.  However, Swiss Ice Hockey cannot guarantee that unauthorised persons will not illegally gain access to the data system.
