We store and process your personal data in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, in particular, the Swiss Data Protection Act or, if applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

2. Use of Cookies

Our website also uses cookie technology. A cookie is a piece of information which is sent from our web server to your computer and stored on your hard drive as soon as you visit the website. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. We only use cookies to make our offering more user-friendly overall, and to collect statistical information about the use of our website. The following cookies are used:

2.1    Session Cookies:
Session cookies (transient cookies) save a “session ID”, which is used to allocate different enquiries from your browser to the joint session. Your computer can then be recognized next time you visit our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

2.2    Persistent Cookies:
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified time, which varies from cookie to cookie. You can delete cookies in your browser security settings at any time. We only use persistent cookies for the purposes of analysis (see section 3 – Google Analytics).

You can configure your browser settings as you wish and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. Please note that this could mean you will not be able to make optimum use of all the functions of this website.

3. Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). The cookies used by Google Analytics allow us to analyze the way you use our website. This allows us to evaluate user behavior on our website and use the statistics we gather to make our offer more attractive. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is art. 6 para. 1(f) GDPR.

Using the IP anonymisation process (anonymizeIp) we have activated, Google first cuts the end off every collected IP address within the European Union. This means that any data collected about you that could identify you is immediately barred and the personal data deleted.

IP addresses transmitted from your device for Google Analytics purposes will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the collection and processing of the information generated by the Google cookie by deactivating storage of cookies in your browser or device settings.

In addition, you can stop Google collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing a browser plug-in available at the following link. The current link is: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

As an alternative to the browser plug-in, or within browsers on mobile devices, you can stop data collection by Google Analytics at any time by clicking on the following link. This will set an opt-out cookie that will prevent collection of your data on future visits to this website.

Deactivate Google Analytics

For more information about Google’s terms and conditions of use and privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/?hl=en. In the exceptional event that personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

When you contact us via the application form, by e-mail or by other means, we collect the information you provide to us, such as your first name, last name, e-mail address, birth date, phone number, personal statement and possible attachments, so we can process your application or enquiry (the legal basis for this is art. 6 para. 1(b) or (f) GDPR).

Please note that this Policy does not apply to these other websites and the processing of your personal data on these other websites. Please visit these websites directly to find information about data protection.

8. Sharing of Your Personal Data

If it is required to process your enquiry or provide our Service to you, your personal data may also be passed on to third parties such as IT providers, website hosts, third parties who operate our website, affiliates, vendors or other third party service providers operating on behalf of us who may be domiciled in Switzerland, the EU or non-EU countries. It is also possible that we will engage third party service providers to deal with your enquiry (e.g. to send out information material). The third party service providers we use are carefully selected and instructed by us, and are bound by our rules and only process your personal data in accordance with this Policy (including the purposes set out herein) and applicable privacy and data protection laws. Beyond this we do not transfer any of your personal data to third parties.

Further, we may share your personal data with third persons where:

  • you have consented to us doing so (where necessary) or the organisation that you work for has obtained your consent for us to do so (where necessary);
  • we are under a legal, regulatory or professional obligation to do so (for example, to comply with anti-money laundering or sanctions requirements); or
  • it is necessary in connection with legal proceedings or in order to exercise or defend legal rights.

In case your personal data is transferred outside of Switzerland, we will take all suitable and necessary measures to guarantee an adequate level of data protection in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.

9. Length of Storage

Unless otherwise specified, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the reason for storing it no longer applies. It may be stored for longer if this is required by rules to which we are subject, if further storage is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests, or if you have given us your consent. Your personal data is also blocked or deleted if a statutory storage period expires, unless there is a continuing need for the personal data to be stored in order to conclude or fulfil a contract.

10. Your Rights

In your dealings with us, you have the following rights in respect of your personal data:

  • Right to information
  • Right to correction or deletion
  • Right to restrict processing
  • Right to object to processing

We may refuse the exercise of your rights if applicable privacy or data protection laws or other legislation allows or obliges us to do so, in which case we will provide reasons for our decision as required by the law.

If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us in writing by email to contact@pho3nixfoundation.com

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection regulator if you feel our processing of your personal data is not compliant with applicable privacy and data protection laws in the country you are domiciled in. In Switzerland this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

If you have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so.

Official Rules

Nominations can come from any sport and be conducted at any level of sanctioned, officially recognised or non-sanctioned sporting competition.

Achievements must be conducted within the Nominations Cycle.

Pre-nominations do not have to be confined to the top tier of each sport or code.

Pre-Nominations will not be accepted posthumously.

All para sport equivalents are eligible in all award categories.

No individual athlete who has ever tested positive to performance enhancing drugs will be eligible for any nominations or awards. This is regardless of whether they have served, and returned from, a ban.

If, in the opinion of the Pho3nix Sports Awards, the athlete or team has brought their sport or themselves into disrepute, Pho3nix Sports Awards may preclude them from nominations or remove them from nominations at any point in time.

The nominations panel, composed from the Pho3nix Foundation will identify and shortlist nominees across each category.

For the nomination period, the Panel will be presented with a shortlist of Pho3nix athletes and significant moments to consider for selection.

In accordance with the established criteria, the Panel will engage in deliberations to collectively identify and agree upon four nominees for each category. This process ensures that the nominees align closely with the core values and ideals of the Pho3nix Foundation, upholding the integrity of the awards and guaranteeing that exceptional accomplishments are properly acknowledged.
