1. Identity of the Data Controller (Responsable du Traitement)

The data controller responsible for processing personal information collected through our contact and volunteer registration forms is the non-profit association AMICALE LAIQUE SAINTES, headquartered at 7 RUE GEORGES CLEMENCEAU, 17100 SAINTES, FRANCE (Telephone: +33 3 98 76 65 90, Email: ksishliahe@gmail.com).

2. Categories of Data Collected and Strict Public-Interest Purpose

We adhere strictly to the GDPR principle of data minimization (Article 5-1-c). When you submit an inquiry via `contact.php`, `volunteer.php`, or `index.php`, we collect only the information strictly necessary to respond to your request:

  • Contact & Family Inquiries: Full name, email address, optional telephone number, and the subject/message describing your child's grade level or workshop interest. Purpose: scheduling free after-school mentoring, reserving free equipment for Saturday eco-walks, or answering institutional inquiries.
  • Volunteer Applications: Full name, email address, telephone number, preferred volunteer pathway, and weekly availability. Purpose: organizing your introductory meeting at 7 Rue Georges Clemenceau and registering your volunteer civil-liability insurance coverage.

The legal bases for this processing under GDPR Article 6(1) are your explicit consent (Article 6-1-a) when submitting a form and the legitimate non-profit associative administration of member and volunteer activities (Article 6-1-f).

3. Data Retention Periods & Storage Security

Personal contact inquiries are retained by our volunteer secretariat only for the duration of the current academic cycle (maximum 12 months after the last exchange) and are then permanently purged. Active volunteer and member registers are maintained solely for the duration of your participation in the association, plus statutory insurance archive periods required under French associative law. No personal data is ever transferred to commercial third parties or marketing brokers.

4. Zero Commercial Cookies & Tracking Policy

This website does not install any advertising cookies, behavioral profiling scripts, or commercial analytics trackers on your device. You can browse all pages, read our field reports, and consult our pedagogical manuals with complete anonymity.

5. Exercising Your Rights (Access, Rectification, Erasure & CNIL Recourse)

Under Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, every resident, parent, and volunteer holds the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of their personal data at any time. To exercise these rights free of charge, contact our Data Protection Referent by email at ksishliahe@gmail.com, by telephone at +33 3 98 76 65 90, or by postal mail addressed to AMICALE LAIQUE SAINTES — Protection des Données, 7 Rue Georges Clemenceau, 17100 Saintes.
