General enquiries using the contact form
We require certain personal data to enable us to process enquiries. To handle general enquiries, we need at least a valid e-mail address so that we can ask for further details if anything is unclear. This e-mail address can also be anonymous. No data are disclosed to third parties.
The Swiss AIDS Federation also recommends to users, who wish to remain as anonymous as possible, to create an anonymous webmail address (e.g. hotmail.com, gmx.ch, etc.).
