The FISU collects and processes personal data that concerns you but also other individuals («third parties») in the context of its mission which aims at contributing to the sustainable development and promotion of university sport and physical and sports education for students around the world.

We use the word «data» here interchangeably with «personal data».

In this Privacy Notice, we describe what we do with your data when you use our website https://app.gms-rhineruhr2025.com or apps (collectively «website» or «application»), obtain support, services or advices from us, participate to our sporting or non-sporting events or programs, collaborate with us as, without limitation, FISU Family Members («FF»), Continental Associations («CUSFs»), National University Sport Federation («NUSFs), Organising Committee («OC») Members, technical officials and delegates, partners, contractors, medias, or data subjects managed by the OC, (together the «FISU Stakeholders»), interact with us in relation to a contract or as media, apply to a job posting, communicate with us or otherwise deal with us.

In addition, we may inform you about the processing of your data separately, for example in consent forms, terms and conditions, additional privacy notices, forms and other notices.

If you disclose data to us or share data with us about other individuals, such as athletes, FISU Stakeholders, etc., we assume that you are authorized to do so, and that the relevant data is accurate. When you share data about others with us, you confirm that. Please make sure that these individuals have been informed about this Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Notice is aligned with the EU General Data Protection Regulation («GDPR»), the Swiss Data Protection Act («DPA»). However, the application of these laws depends on each individual case.

3. What data do we process?

We process various categories of data about you. The main categories of data are the following:

  • Technical data: When you use our website or other online offerings, we collect the IP address of your terminal device and other technical data in order to ensure the functionality and security of these offerings. This data includes logs with records of the use of our systems. We generally keep technical data for [24]months or 30 days after the end of an event. In order to ensure the functionality of these offerings, we may also assign an individual code to you or your terminal device (for example as a cookie, see Section 11). Technical data as such does not permit us to draw conclusions about your identity. However, technical data may be linked with other categories of data (and potentially with your person) in relation to user accounts, registrations, access controls or the performance of a contract.
  • Registration data: Certain offerings and services (such as participation to sporting or non-sporting events and programs, etc.) can only be used with a user account or registration, which can happen directly with us or through our third-party login service providers. In this regard you must provide us with certain data, and we collect data about the use of the offering or service. Registration data may be required in relation to access control to certain facilities. We generally keep registration data for [24] months from the date the use of the service ceases or the user account is closed, or for 30 days after the end of an event.
  • Communication data: When you are in contact with us via the contact form, by e-mail, telephone or chat, or by letter or other means of communication, we collect the data exchanged between you and us, including your contact details and the metadata of the communication. If we record or listen in on telephone conversations or video conferences, for example for training, minutes recording and quality assurance purposes, we will tell you specifically. Such recordings may only be made and used in accordance with our internal policies. You will be informed if and when such recordings take place, for example by an indication during the video conference in question. If you do not want to be recorded, please notify us or leave the (video) conference. If you simply do not want your image to be recorded, please turn off your camera. If we have to determine your identity, for example in relation to a request for information, a request for press access, etc., we collect data to identify you (for example a copy of an ID document). We generally keep this data for [10] years from the last exchange between us or for 30 days after the end of an event. This period may be longer where required for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons. E-mails in personal mailboxes and written correspondence are generally kept for at least 10years. Recordings of (video) conferences we will usually keep for [5] years.
  • Master data: With master data we mean the basic data that we need, in addition to contract data (see below), for the performance of our contractual and other business relationships, or for marketing, sponsoring and promotional purposes, such as name and contact details, and information about, for example, your role and function, your bank details, your date of birth, customer history, powers of attorney, signature authorizations and declarations of consent. We process your master data if you are in particular a participant to an sporting or non-sporting event or program (for example an athlete), a FISU Stakeholder, an applicant, a customer, a visitor, a supplier, a service provider or other business contact or work for one (for example as a contact person of the business partner), or because we wish to address you for our own purposes or for the purposes of a contractual partner (for example as part of marketing, sponsoring and advertising, with invitations to events or programs, with newsletters, etc.). We receive master data from you (for example when you make a request or as part of a registration), from parties you work for, or from third parties such as contractual partners, associations, agencies, brokers, NUSF and CUSFs Members, OC Members, Committee Members, and from public sources such as public registers or the internet (websites, social media, etc.). We may also process health data and information about third parties as part of master data. We generally keep master data for [10]years from the last exchange between us or from the end of the contract. This period may be longer if required for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons. For contacts used only for marketing and advertising, the retention period is usually much shorter, usually no more than [3] years from the last contact.
  • Contract data: This means data that is collected in relation to the conclusion or performance of a contract, for example information about the contracts and the services provided or to be provided, as well as data from the period leading up to the conclusion of a contract, information required or used for performing a contract, and information about feedback (for example complaints, feedback about satisfaction, etc.). This may include health data and information about third parties. We generally collect this data from you, from contractual partners, NUSFs and CUSFs members, OC Members or other Committee Members, and from third parties involved in the performance of the contract, but also from third-party sources (for example credit information providers) and from public sources. We generally keep this data for [10]years from the last contract activity or from the end of the contract. This period may be longer where necessary for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons.
  • Behavioral and preference data: Depending on our relationship with you, we try to get to know you better and to tailor our services, events, programs and offers to you. For this purpose, we collect and process data about your behavior and preferences. We do so by evaluating information about your behavior in our domain, and we may also supplement this information with third-party information, including from public sources and our ambassadors. Based on this data, we can for example determine the likelihood that you will use certain services or behave in a certain way. The data processed for this purpose is already known to us (for example where and when you use our services), or we collect it by recording your behavior (for example how you navigate our website or for example by sending surveys to participants). We anonymize or delete this data when it is no longer relevant for the purposes pursued, which may be – depending on the nature of the data – between a few weeks and [2] years (for service preferences). This period may be longer where necessary for evidentiary purposes, to comply with legal or contractual requirements, or for technical reasons. We describe how tracking works on our website in Section 11.
  • Other data: We also collect data from you in other situations. For example, we collect timing and scoring results and performance data during sporting events that are indefinitely kept as part of the FISU archives. We also collect data that may relate to you (such as files, evidence, etc.) is processed in relation to administrative or judicial proceedings. We may also collect health data (for example as part of health protection concepts, doping prevention or check). We may obtain or create photos, videos and sound recordings in which you may be identifiable (for example at events, with security cameras, etc.). We may also collect data about who enters certain buildings, and when or who has access rights (including in relation to access controls, based on registration data or lists of visitors, etc.), who borrows materials, who participates in events, programs or campaigns and who uses our infrastructure and systems. We also collect participants’ weight and height to provide uniforms in the right size to be used during our events. Moreover, we collect and process data about the FISU Stakeholders, in addition to master data, including information for registers, in relation to events and the exercise of their rights. The retention period for this data depends on the processing purpose and is limited to what is necessary. This ranges from a few days for many security cameras, to a few weeks for contact tracing and visitor data, which is usually kept for several years or more for reports about events with images. Data relating to the FISU Stakeholders is kept for as long as necessary for the activities of the FISU.

Much of the data set out in this Section 3 is provided to us by you, FISU Stakeholders, medias, other participants or your employers (through the OAS platform, when you communicate with us, in relation to contracts, when you use the website, participate to events and programs, etc.). You are not obliged or required to disclose data to us except in certain cases, for example to participate to our sporting or non-sporting events and programs, or within the framework of binding health protection concepts (legal obligations). If you wish to enter into contracts with us or benefit from our offerings, you must also provide us with certain data, in particular master data, contract data and registration data, as part of your contractual obligation under the relevant contract. When using our website or platforms, the processing of technical data cannot be avoided. If you wish to gain access to certain events, programs, systems, facilities or buildings, you must also provide us with registration data. However, in the case of behavioral and preference data, you generally have the option of objecting or not giving consent.

As far as it is not unlawful we also collect data from public sources (for example debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, the medias, or the internet including social media) or receive data from other companies, from public authorities and from other third parties (such as credit agencies, brokers, associations, contractual partners, internet analytics services, etc.). We may also collect data relating to companies or projects from freely accessible sources, in particular to know better the FISU Stakeholders.

4. For what purposes do we process your data?

We process your data for the purposes explained below. Further information is set out in Sections 11 and 12 for online services. These purposes and their objectives represent interests of us and potentially of third parties. You can find further information on the legal basis of our processing in Section 5.

  • We process your data for purposes related to our mission including when interacting and dealing with NUSF and CUSFs, OC or Committee Members. Thus, we use your personal data for the organisation, development, running and improvement of world-class sports and educational events and programs in association with the OC.
  • We process your personal data as participants to a sporting or non-sporting event, a project or a program (for example as athletes), as FISU Stakeholders, job or student scholarship applicants, visitors, customers, auditors, suppliers, service providers, or as other business contact, to communicate with you, in particular in relation to the registration to a program, project or event, responding to inquiries and the exercise of your rights (Section 10), and to enable us to contact you in case of queries, audit, or data breach. For this purpose, we use in particular communication data and master data, and registration data in relation to offers and services that you use. We keep this data to document our communication with you, for training purposes, for insurance management, for quality assurance, for archiving, for media relationship management, and for follow-up inquiries.
  • We process data in the context of pre-contractual measures and for the conclusion, administration and performance of contractual relationships.
  • We process data for marketing purposes and relationship management, for example to send our FISU Stakeholders, participants, customers and other contractual partners personalized advertising for our offerings (including invitations to programs and events) from us and from third parties (for example from advertising partners). This may happen in the form of newsletters and other regular contacts (electronically, by e-mail or by telephone), through other channels for which we have contact information from you, but also as part of marketing campaigns and may also include free services. You can object to such contacts at any time (see at the end of this Section 4) or refuse or withdraw consent to be contacted for marketing purposes. With your consent, we can target our online advertising on the internet more specifically to you (see Section 11). Finally, we also wish to enable our contractual partners to contact our participants and other contractual partners for marketing purposes (see Section 6).
  • We further process your data for market research, to improve and develop our sporting or non-sporting events, programs, services and operations.
  • We may also process your data for security and access control purposes.
  • We process personal data to comply with laws, directives and recommendations from authorities and internal regulations («Compliance»).
  • We also process data for the purposes of our risk management and as part of our corporate governance, including business organization and development.
  • We process data if you apply for a job with us.
  • We may process your data for further purposes, for example as part of our internal processes and administration or for quality assurance purposes and trainings.

5. On what basis do we process your data?

Where we ask for your consent for certain processing activities (for example for marketing mailings, and for advertising management and behavior analysis on the website), we will inform you separately about the relevant processing purposes. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by providing us written notice (by mail) or, unless otherwise noted or agreed, by sending an e-mail to us; see our contact details in Section 2. For withdrawing consent for online tracking, see Section 11. Where you have a user account, you may also withdraw consent or contact us also through the relevant website or other service, as applicable. Once we have received notification of withdrawal of consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) you consented to, unless we have another legal basis to do so. Withdrawal of consent does not, however, affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent prior to withdrawal.

Where we do not ask for consent for processing, the processing of your personal data relies on the requirement of the processing for initiating or performing a contract with you (or the entity you represent) or on our or a third-party legitimate interest in the particular processing, in particular in pursuing the purposes and objectives set out in Section 4 and in implementing related measures. Our legitimate interests also include compliance with legal regulations, insofar as this is not already recognized as a legal basis by applicable data protection law (for example in the case of the GDPR, the laws in the EEA and in the case of the DPA, Swiss law). This also includes the marketing of our activities, the interest in better understanding potential new opportunities and in managing and further developing the FISU, including its operations, safely and efficiently.

Where we receive sensitive personal data (for example health data), we may process your data on other legal basis, for example, in the event of a dispute, as required in relation to a potential litigation or for the enforcement or defense of legal claims. In some cases, other legal basis may apply, which we will communicate to you separately as necessary.

6. With whom do we share your data?

In relation to our mission, our contracts, the website, our activities or services, our legal obligations or otherwise with protecting our legitimate interests and the other purposes set out in Section 4, we may disclose your personal data to third parties, in particular to the following categories of recipients:

Participants (including athletes) and FISU Stakeholders: As part of our mission, we organize FISU sporting and non-sporting events and programs with the support of FISU Stakeholders and Rhine-Ruhr Organising Committee, that may process your data (including health data) as independent data controllers for their own legitimate interests. In addition, the FISU may share data with participants to an event, program or training course in particular to facilitate the communication between the different participants. Each participant may then use such data for their own purposes.

  • Service providers: We work with service providers in Switzerland and abroad who process your data on our behalf or as joint controllers with us or who receive data about you from us as separate controllers (for example IT or logistic providers, event organizers, OC, training and education providers, auditors, shipping companies, advertising service providers, login service providers, cleaning companies, security companies, banks, insurance companies, doping agency, debt collection companies, credit information agencies, or address verification providers). This may include health data. For the service providers used for the website, see Section 11.
  • This refers to our other contractual partners (for example sponsors, customers) as this data disclosure results from these contracts. For example, they receive registration data in relation to invitations, events, education programs, badges creation, etc. If you work for one of these contractual partners, we may also disclose data about you to that partner in this regard. This may include health data. These recipients also include contractual partners with whom we cooperate or who carry out advertising for us and to whom we may therefore disclose data about you for analysis and marketing purposes (these may again be service recipients, but also sponsors and online advertising providers). We require these partners to send you or display advertising based on your data only with your consent (for online advertising, see Section 11). Our online advertising partners are listed in Section 11.
  • Authorities: We may disclose personal data to agencies, courts and other authorities in Switzerland and abroad if we are legally obliged or entitled to make such disclosures or if it appears necessary to protect our interests. This may include health data. These authorities act as separate controllers.
  • Other persons: This means other cases where interactions with third parties follows from the purposes set out in Section 4, for example service recipients, the media and associations in which we participate or if you are included in one of our publications.

All these categories of recipients may involve third parties, so that your data may also be disclosed to them. We can restrict the processing by certain third parties (for example IT providers), but not by others (for example authorities, banks, etc.). We reserve the right to make such disclosures even of secret data (unless we have expressly agreed with you that we will not disclose such data to certain third parties, except if we are required to do so by law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, your data will continue to be subject to adequate data protection in Switzerland and the rest of Europe, even after disclosure. For disclosure to other countries, the provisions of Section 7 apply. If you do not wish certain data to be disclosed, please let us know so that we can review if and to what extent we can accommodate your concern (Section 2).

In addition, we enable certain third parties to collect personal data from you on our website and at sporting and non-sporting events organized by us (for example press photographers, providers of tools on our website, etc.). Where we have no control over these data collections, these third parties are sole controllers. If you have concerns or wish to exercise your data protection rights, please contact these third parties directly. See Section 11 for the website.

Athlete lists participating to the FISU events and their results are publicly shared and kept in the FISU archives.

7. Is your personal data disclosed abroad?

Our servers are located in Germany. However, as explained in section 6, we disclose data to other parties. These are not all located in Germany. Your data may therefore be processed in any country in the world.

If a recipient is located in a country without adequate statutory data protection, we require the recipient to undertake to comply with data protection (for this purpose, we use the revised European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, which can be accessed here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj, if necessary with the required adaptations for Switzerland), unless the recipient is subject to a legally accepted set of rules to ensure data protection and unless we cannot rely on an exception. An exception may apply for example in case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interest or if the performance of a contract requires disclosure, if you have consented or if data has been made available generally by you and you have not objected against the processing. We may also rely on the exception for data from a register provided for by law (for example, commercial register) to which we have been legitimately granted access.

Please note that data exchanged via the internet is often routed through third countries. Your data may therefore be sent abroad even if the sender and recipient are in the same country.

8. How long do we process your data?

We process your data for as long as our processing purposes, the legal retention periods and our legitimate interests in documentation and keeping evidence require it or storage is a technical requirement. You will find further information on the respective storage and processing periods for the individual data categories in Section 3, and for cookies in Section 11. If there are no contrary legal or contractual obligations, we will delete or anonymize your data once the storage or processing period has expired as part of our usual processes, unless data is kept for archival purposes.

9. How do we protect your data?

We take appropriate security measures in order to maintain the required security of your personal data and ensure its confidentiality, integrity and availability, and to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful processing, and to mitigate the risk of loss, accidental alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.

We have configured our systems to apply industry standard information security measures and used recognized security framework to protect your information, which includes:

  • Awareness and training of individuals handling data;
  • TIER III and IV servers (ISO 27001 and FINMA) where data is hosted exclusively in Swiss data centers with dedicated resources and on-site security;
  • All systems are monitored by approved Swiss third party IT service providers;
  • Last generation firewalling;
  • HTTPS and SSL encryption, file encryption, Password strength requirements;
  • Access controls via privileges and roles;
  • Software built in accordance with privacy by design and by default principles;
  • Semi-automated audit systems and services;
  • Monitoring;
  • Confidentiality Agreement;
  • Instructions to our employees;
  • Back-up copies;

Where we use third party suppliers to help us with information security measures, they have committed to comply with strict data protection requirements to ensure maximum confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your personal data. However, we can only secure areas in our control and security risks can never be excluded completely; residual risks are unavoidable.

10. What are your rights?

Applicable data protection laws grant you the right to object to the processing of your data in some circumstances, in particular for direct marketing purposes, for profiling carried out for direct marketing purposes and for other legitimate interests in processing.

To help you control the processing of your personal data, you have the following rights in relation to our data processing, depending on the applicable data protection law:

  • The right to request information from us as to whether and what data we process from you;
  • The right to have us correct data if it is inaccurate;
  • The right to request erasure of data;
  • The right to request that we provide certain personal data in a commonly used electronic format or transfer it to another controller;
  • The right to withdraw consent, where our processing is based on your consent;

The right to receive, upon request, further information that is helpful for the exercise of these rights; If you wish to exercise the above-mentioned rights in relation to us, please contact us in writing, at our premises or, unless otherwise specified or agreed, by e-mail; you will find our contact details in Section 2. In order for us to be able to prevent misuse, we need to identify you (for example by means of a copy of your ID card, unless identification is not possible otherwise).

You also have these rights in relation to other parties that cooperate with us as separate controllers – please contact them directly if you wish to exercise your rights in relation to their processing. You will find information on our key partners and service providers in Section 6 and additional information in Section 11.

Please note that conditions, exceptions or restrictions apply to these rights under applicable data protection law (for example to protect third parties or trade secrets). We will inform you accordingly where applicable.

If you do not agree with the way we handle your rights or with our data protection practices, please let us (Section 2) know. If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom or in Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in your country. You can find a list of authorities in the EEA here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en. You can reach the UK supervisory authority here: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/. You can reach the Swiss supervisory authority here: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home/the-fdpic/contact.html.

11. Do we use online tracking and online advertising techniques?

We use various techniques on our website that allow us and third parties engaged by us to recognize you during your use of our website, and possibly to track you across several visits. This Section informs you about this.

In essence, we wish to distinguish access by you (through your system) from access by other users, so that we can ensure the functionality of the website and carry out analysis and personalization. We do not intend to determine your identity, even if that is possible where we or third parties engaged by us can identify you by combination with registration data.  However, even without registration data, the technologies we use are designed in such a way that you are recognized as an individual visitor each time you access the website, for example by our server (or third-party servers) that assign a specific identification number to you or your browser (so-called «cookie»).

We use these technologies on our website and may allow certain third parties to do so as well. However, depending on the purpose of these technologies, we may ask for consent before they are used. You can access your current settings directly from the website. You can also set your browser to block or deceive certain types of cookies or alternative technologies, or to delete existing cookies. You can also add software to your browser that blocks certain third-party tracking. You can find more information on the help pages of your browser (usually with the keyword «Privacy») or on the websites of the third parties set out below.

We distinguish the following categories of «cookies» (including other technologies such as fingerprinting):

  • Necessary cookies: Some cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website or for certain features. For example, they ensure that you can move between pages without losing information that was entered in a form. They also ensure that you stay logged in. These cookies exist temporarily only («session cookies»). If you block them, the website may not work properly. Other cookies are necessary for the server to store options or information (which you have entered) beyond a session (i.e. a visit to the website) if you use this function (for example language settings, consents, automatic login functionality, etc.). These cookies have an expiration date of up to [24] months.
  • Performance cookies: In order to optimize our website and related offers and to better adapt them to the needs of the users, we use cookies to record and analyze the use of our website, potentially beyond one session. We use third-party analytics services for this purpose. We have listed them below. Before we use such cookies, we ask for your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings directly from the website. Performance cookies also have an expiration date of up to [2] years. Details can be found on the websites of the third-party providers.
  • Marketing (Targeting) cookies: We and our advertising partners have an interest in targeting advertising as precisely as possible, i.e. only showing it to those we wish to address. We have listed our advertising partners below. For this purpose, we and our advertising partners – if you consent – use cookies that can record the content that has been accessed or the contracts that have been concluded. This allows us and our advertising partners to display advertisements that we think will interest you on our website, but also on other websites that display advertisements from us or our advertising partners. These cookies have an expiration period of a few days to [2] years, depending on the circumstances. If you consent to the use of these cookies, you will be shown related advertisements. If you do not consent to them, you will not see less advertisements, but simply any other advertisement.

In addition to marketing cookies, we use other technologies to control online advertising on other websites and thereby reduce advertising wastage. For example, we may transmit the e-mail addresses of our users, customers and other persons to whom we wish to display advertisements to operators of advertising platforms (for example social media). If these persons are registered with them with the same e-mail address (which the advertising platforms determine by a matching process), the providers display our advertisements specifically to these persons. The providers do not receive personal e-mail addresses of persons who are not already known to them. In case of known e-mail addresses, however, they learn that these persons are in contact with us and the content they have accessed.

We may also integrate additional third-party offers on our website, in particular from social media providers. These offers are deactivated by default. As soon as you activate them (for example by clicking a button), these providers can determine that you are using our website. If you have an account with that social media provider, it can assign this information to you and thereby track your use of online offers. These social media providers process this data as separate controllers.

We use our own tools as well as third-party services (which may in turn use cookies) on our websites, in particular to improve the functionality or content of our websites (for example, integration of videos or maps), to compile statistics, and to serve advertisements.

In particular, we currently use offers from the following service providers and advertising partners on our website and other digital services. Contact details and further information on the individual data processing of these service providers can be found in their respective privacy notice:

These third-party providers may be either data processors of us (for example Google Analytics) or (independent) data controllers, depending on the data protection law. Further information on this can be found in the privacy notices of the corresponding service providers. 

As some of the third-party providers may be located outside of Switzerland, information on cross-border data transfers can be found under Section 7.

12. What data do we process on our social network pages?

We may operate pages and other online presences («fan pages», «channels», «profiles», etc.) on social networks and other platforms operated by third parties and collect the data about you described in Section 3 and below. We receive this data from you and from the platforms when you interact with us through our online presence (for example when you communicate with us, comment on our content or visit our online presence). At the same time, the platforms analyze your use of our online presences and combine this data with other data they have about you (for example about your behavior and preferences). They also process this data for their own purposes, in particular for marketing and market research purposes (for example to personalize advertising) and to manage their platforms (for example what content they show you) and, to that end, they act as separate controllers.

We process this data for the purposes set out in Section 4. You will find information about the applicable legal basis in Section 5. We may disseminate content published by you (for example comments on an announcement), for example as part of our advertising on the platform or elsewhere. We or the operators of the platforms may also delete or restrict content from or about you in accordance with their terms of use (for example inappropriate comments).

For further information on the processing of the platform operators, please refer to the privacy information of the relevant platforms. There you can also find out about the countries where they process your data, your rights of access and erasure of data and other data subjects’ rights and how you can exercise them or obtain further information. We currently use the following platforms:

We are entitled, but not obliged, to check content before or after it is published on our online presences, to delete content without notice and, if necessary, to report it to the provider of the relevant platform.

13. Can we update this Privacy Notice?

This Privacy Notice is not part of a contract with you. We can change this Privacy Notice at any time. The version published on this website is the current version.
