Privacy Policy

I. General Privacy Policy

Data protection is closely linked to the protection of trust. The protection and security of your personal data are of the utmost importance to the Liechtenstein Football Association (LFV). Therefore, we only process the data about you that is necessary. In doing so, we exercise the required level of care, not least to protect you from potential misuse.

With this Privacy Policy, we would like to provide you with an overview of how your data is processed and of your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”) and the Liechtenstein Data Protection Act (hereinafter referred to as the “DPA”).

1. Name and Address of the Controller and Data Protection Officer

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:

Liechtenstein Football Association (LFV)
Landstrasse 149
9494 Schaan
Liechtenstein
Email: infolfvli
Phone: +423 238 24 00

You can contact our Data Protection Officer at infolfvli or by post at the above address, marked “Data Protection”.

2. Collection and Storage of Personal Data, as Well as the Nature, Purpose and Use of Such Data

As described above, we only process data that is necessary. This may vary depending on the category of person concerned.

If you contact us, we may collect the following information in particular:

  • Personal details (e.g. title, first name, last name, date of birth, nationality)
  • Address and contact details (e.g. address, email address, landline/mobile phone number)
  • Information necessary to process your request or to fulfil our duties

The collection of this data takes place:

  • To identify you;
  • To process your request;
  • To correspond with you;
  • For invoicing purposes;
  • To fulfil our responsibilities and duties.

Without this data, we are generally unable to fulfil our tasks. We may also process data that has not been collected directly from you, but rather obtained from third parties, publicly accessible sources, or other data subjects.

Data processing is generally carried out at your request and is necessary pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Your data may also be processed in order to comply with legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR) or in the public interest (Article 6(1)(e) GDPR).

Furthermore, your data may be processed to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for specifically defined purposes, in particular to fulfil data subject rights (e.g. the right of access), ensure IT security and operations, and maintain building and facility security.

In addition, your data may be processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This also applies to consent declarations provided before the GDPR entered into force, i.e. before 25 May 2018. However, the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.

We reserve the right to further process personal data collected for one of the above purposes for other purposes, provided such processing is compatible with the original purpose or is permitted or required by law.

3. Recipients or Categories of Recipients of Personal Data

Within the Liechtenstein Football Association, employees may only process your data where necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual, legal and regulatory obligations and for the protection of legitimate interests. For these purposes, personal data may also be disclosed to third parties, including processors providing services such as IT support, logistics, or printing services.

Your personal data may also be disclosed to third parties where this is necessary for the fulfilment of our duties.

4. Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries

Personal data will only be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (so-called third countries) on the basis of adequacy decisions by the European Commission, or where such transfer is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the performance of a contract, the provision of services, where you have given your explicit consent (e.g. in connection with specific services), where required for important reasons of public interest, or where required by law.

5. Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The personal data collected by us will generally be stored until the expiry of the applicable statutory retention periods and will then be deleted, unless longer storage is required pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR due to tax, corporate or regulatory retention and documentation obligations (in particular under the Persons and Companies Act (PGR)), or unless you have consented to further storage pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Further processing and storage may also continue for longer periods in order to preserve evidence, for example during applicable statutory limitation periods.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

As a data subject, you have the right at any time to obtain information about your personal data, in particular regarding its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing. You also have the right to rectification, data portability, objection, restriction of processing, and deletion of incorrect or unlawfully processed data.

If any changes occur to your personal data, we kindly ask you to inform us accordingly.

You may withdraw any consent granted for the use of your personal data at any time. Requests relating to access, deletion, rectification, objection and/or data portability may be submitted to the address specified in Section 1 of this Privacy Policy.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data by us violates applicable data protection law, or that your data protection rights have been infringed in any other way, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Liechtenstein, this is the Data Protection Authority.

The operator of this website has no influence over this data transfer.

The use of Google Maps is based on our legitimate interest in presenting our online services attractively and ensuring the easy location of places specified on our website, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
