In short

This is a static website. It has no visitor accounts, no cookies and no tracking. There are forms only in the Get involved section; what happens to your details there is described below. Fonts are served from this site’s own server, not from third parties such as Google Fonts. Embedded YouTube videos load only when you play them yourself (see below).

Server logs

When you visit the site, the hosting provider processes technically necessary connection data (e.g. IP address, time, requested address, browser identifier, referrer). It is used solely for secure operation and troubleshooting and is deleted after a short period.

Contact by email or phone

If you write to me or call, I use your details only to handle your request and do not pass them on to third parties.

Appearance preference

Your choice of light or dark appearance is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) and never leaves it.

Forms in the “Get involved” section

In the Get involved section you can support an initiative, offer to help, suggest a topic or invite Kairat Birimkulov to a talk. Each form belongs to exactly one action and asks only for what that action needs.

  • What we collect: depending on the form, name, e-mail address, postcode and town where needed, organisation, phone (optional), your message and possibly a file (JPG, PNG or PDF). We do not ask for occupation, full address, date of birth or political views.
  • What for: only to handle your submission, reply to you and — only with separate consent — publish your name as a supporter, keep you informed about the initiative, or publish your topic without your name.
  • Consent: each consent is a separate box and never pre-ticked. We record when you gave which consent and under which version of this privacy policy (consent log).
  • Where: in a database on this website’s server, operated on behalf of Kairat Birimkulov. Confirmations and notifications are sent through the kairatbirimkulov.ch e-mail account at Hostpoint AG (Switzerland). The notification to the editors contains no personal data.
  • Who has access: only named, authorised people through a password-protected admin with roles; partner organisations see only submissions for their own initiative. The admin uses a technically necessary session cookie — only for signed-in staff, not for visitors.
  • Sharing: nothing is passed on to third parties or used for advertising, newsletters or campaigns, except updates on the initiative you agreed to.
  • Abuse protection: your IP address is used only briefly and only as a hash to prevent mass submissions; it is not stored.
  • Retention: submissions and files are deleted automatically, no later than 12 months after receipt. Proof that consent was given may be kept without your e-mail address.

Withdrawal, access, deletion: you can withdraw any consent at any time, ask what we hold about you, or ask for deletion — informally by e-mail to kontakt@kairatbirimkulov.ch or by replying to the confirmation e-mail. Withdrawal applies from then on.

Version of these provisions: 10 November 2026.

Videos from YouTube

Some pages (e.g. “PAY THE BILL”) embed videos from YouTube. Until you play a video, nothing is loaded from YouTube: you only see a preview image from this server.

Only when you click “Play video” does your browser load the player from youtube-nocookie.com (privacy-enhanced mode). This transfers data such as your IP address, the page you are on and technical details of your browser to YouTube; YouTube may store data in your browser while the video plays. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; data may also be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google’s privacy policy applies.

The basis is your own action: by clicking the video you choose to load it from YouTube. You can also watch it via the link “Open on YouTube”.

This site links to third-party content (e.g. newspaper articles, film databases). Their privacy policies apply only once you follow such a link.

Your rights

You may at any time request information about the data I hold about you, and its correction or deletion, by writing to kontakt@kairatbirimkulov.ch. You may also contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

The German version of this page is legally binding.
