Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors who are under the age of 16, unless they have permission from a parent or guardian. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is over the age of 16. We therefore advise parents to be involved in their children’s online activities in order to prevent data about children from being collected without parental consent.

Cookies, or similar technologies, that we use
The War Victims Foundation uses only technical and functional cookies, for example to remember your language choice. We do not use analytics or tracking cookies and do not measure what visitors do on our site. Three third-party services are embedded on our site. Videos are played through Vimeo with its “do not track” setting enabled and through YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). As a result they do not set tracking cookies, YouTube only once you play a video. To protect our forms against spam we use Google reCAPTCHA. When these services load, your IP address is sent to Vimeo, YouTube or Google. We do this based on our legitimate interest in a site that works well and is protected against abuse. You can disable cookies in your browser and delete previously stored data there.

You can send a request for access, correction, deletion, or data transfer of your personal data, or a request to withdraw your consent or object to the processing of your personal data, via the contact form. We will respond as quickly as possible, but within four weeks, to your request.
