Photos and videos

Photos or videos taken at our events may be published on this website and on our social media. Anyone can object to the publication of a picture in which they appear, at any time, simply by writing to info@verbier-music.ch: we will remove it.

Who we share it with

Municipality of Val de Bagnes: for the annual grant application, the list of young people in training (name, date of birth, place of residence) and of trainers, as required by the municipal grant directive (art. 5 and 8). Never the parents’ contact details.
Hosting: our data is hosted in Switzerland by Infomaniak, with encrypted backups in Switzerland.
Events map: the base map comes from swisstopo, the Swiss Federal Office of Topography. When the map is displayed, your browser loads the map images from geo.admin.ch and therefore sends it your IP address, as with any web page. No cookies, no tracking. Other pages contact no third party.
No sale, no advertising, no other recipient.

How long

Members: for the duration of the membership, then as long as needed to close the accounts. Accounting records are kept for 10 years (art. 958f Code of Obligations).
Students: during enrolment and the year of the following grant application.
Rejected submissions: deleted after 90 days, their visual as soon as they are rejected. Published dates and their visual: until you ask for removal.
Artist sign-ups: the request is deleted as soon as the committee has handled it; once accepted, it becomes your profile, kept until you ask for removal.

Cookies

On the “Tonight” page, the “Near me” button asks for your location, with your consent, to sort the list by distance. On the events map, the “Find my location” button does the same to centre the map on you. Everything happens in your browser: your location is sent neither to us nor to anyone else; only the map images of the area shown are loaded from geo.admin.ch.

The public website uses no tracking cookies and no analytics tools. The committee area uses a session cookie, which is required to log in.
