PRIVACY POLICY

The EIS project is committed to conducting all project activities responsibly and ethically. This page provides information on how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal data, ensuring compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF OUR PRIVACY POLICY?

The EIS consortium is made up of 17 partners, which are responsible for the treatment of users’ personal data and informs its users that this data will be treated in accordance with the provisions in the regulations in force regarding the protection of personal data (2016 European GDPR regulation).

Therefore, this privacy statement applies to the entire lifespan of information within the EIS project website, from obtaining information to the final deletion of that information.

As explained further, additional guidelines or procedures are established for specific areas or processes – such as research, interviews, or surveys – within the EIS project that provides a detailed explanation of the measures that are taken in order to achieve the desired level of data protection.

The EIS consortium considers it very important to treat the input and contributions from stakeholders as confidential during its activities and in the EIS public reporting.
