This Privacy Policy provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website as well as relevant information about your data protection rights.
This Privacy Policy explains how your personal data is collected, used, and processed when you visit this website.

About us and our role regarding your personal data processing
This website is devoted to project coevolution-project.eu(Grant agreement ID: 101168560). The project CoEvolution is implemented by a consortium of several partner organizations. However, we manage this website, and we determine the purposes and means of processing personal data on this website. Therefore, we are legally considered to be a data controller over your personal data. Being a data controller provides us with the opportunity to process your personal data, but also obligates us to protect it in the way regulated by the EU Data Protection Law, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) and this Privacy Policy.
Personal Data We Process and the Purposes of Processing
When you visit our website, we may process various categories of personal data. This includes electronic identification data, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, time zone, and access times, which are necessary to ensure the functionality, security, and proper display of the website. We may also process contact information (such as your name and email address) that you voluntarily provide through the project update subscription form (see section below). Additionally, we may collect social media interaction data, such as clicks on links to our Twitter or LinkedIn accounts.
We do not use this data to draw conclusions about your identity, and we do not engage in profiling.
Subscription to Project Updates
If you choose to subscribe to receive updates about the project—such as news, events, and opportunities to get involved—we will collect and process your contact information (e.g., name, email address) through the dedicated subscription form on our website.
Purpose and Legal Basis
We process your contact data solely for the purpose of sending you project-related updates. The legal basis for this processing is your explicit consent, as per Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You provide this consent by ticking the appropriate box and submitting the form.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. You can unsubscribe via the link included in each email or by contacting us directly at [email protected] .
Retention
We retain your contact data only as long as you remain subscribed. Once you unsubscribe or withdraw consent, your data will be securely deleted.
Sharing
We do not share your subscription data with any third party for marketing purposes. Access may be granted to consortium members or service providers strictly for the operation and delivery of the subscription emails.

Sharing your data with third parties
We may share your data with third parties. Our project partners and the European Commission staff relevant to the realization of the project CoEvolution may receive your data if it would be necessary. Also, we may share your data with entities who might help us to regularly provide and further develop our website (e.g., entities that provide analytics, maintenance, development services).

The purpose of data processing, how it will be carried out and the selection of data that will be processed remain our exclusive rights.
In addition, we may share your data with public agencies such as law enforcement agencies, where we have the legal obligation to do so. In case where it would be necessary, we will inform you about sharing your data with third parties.
Transferring your data to third parties
We are tending not to transfer your data outside European Economic Area (EEA).

When this is required, we will make every effort to make sure that your data is protected as suggested by the GDPR and other laws for data protection that apply.
Your personal data may be transferred to:
A recipient in a country that, according to the European Commission, does not have an adequate level of data protection. When this is the case, we will conclude Data Protection Agreements that will include Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission. These Agreements would obligate the data recipient to provide an adequate level of protection and implement appropriate safeguards, as defined by the applicable European Data Protection laws.
A recipient based in a country that the European Commission considers having an adequate level of data protection. Countries with adequate data protection levels are listed here.
