Privacy policy

Vredesactie cares about your privacy.

  • Vredesactie only retains personal information that is given freely. Vredesactie collects data through its website and during activities, booths, informative moments etc. so as to be able to better inform people about our goals, to reach them through our newsletter or paper magazine if they explicitly choose to, or to contact them about activities and for administrative purposes.

  • The only data we use that is not handed over explicitly is public data that is freely consultable.

  • If you would like to see, change, delete or receive your data, you may simply contact us through contact@vredesactie.be or through other channels listed on our website.

  • In the context of a collaboration between Vredesactie and other organisations, it might be possible that personal information is available for all parties involved. This will always be clear from the context.

When visiting our websites, please be mindful of the following:

  • We use a minimal amount of cookies. None of these is used to identify you, or follow you outside of our website. The sole purpose of these cookies is to allow our websites to function properly and to give us some insight in how they are used.

  • Each visit to our website is logged on the servers of nestor.coop. Thereby, they will register the IP-address making the request, which request is being made and a few specfics of the browser making the request. These data are kept at nestor solely to be able to trace back what happened in case of server problems. The data is not  processed, linked or passed on in any way. These logs are automatically deleted after one year.

  • To gain insight in the traffic on our websites, Vredesactie uses Matomo (https://matomo.org/). This software runs off servers that are operated by nestor.coop. Matomo contains all utilities that we need to be in line with the GDPR. For more details, see https://matomo.org/gdpr/.

    • Matomo uses two cookies to register the usage of our websites (_pk_id* en _pk_sess). These cookies respect the 'Do Not Track Me' policy of your browser.

  • De pages on our websites do not immediately load resources from facebook, twitter, google or any other company that would intercept your visit. Such code allows these companies to follow you around on the internet. When we do offer social media integrations, these need to be clicked twice (for example, one click to actually load a 'like' button, twice to actually click and activate it).

  • When you fill out the contact form, you are giving us your name, e-mail address and perhaps also questions or remarks. Vredesactie only uses this data to help you in your request. This data is never passed on or used for other purposes, and is deleted after maximum one year.

  • All user data is collected and stored through secured connections and is stored in a safe location.

  • The data collected by us will never be used for commercial purposes and is only consultable by Vredesactie employees.

This privacy policy governs all websites under Vredesactie's care. Currently, these are:

  • vredesactie.be
  • ikstopwapenhandel.eu / istopthearmstrade.eu
  • tractie.be
