Data collected by the website is stored on secure servers in the European Union. We have implemented procedures and tools that ensure safe storage. Data can only be accessed and processed by authorised personnel from project partner In-JeT ApS, who is managing the website on behalf of the INDEPENDENT project.
We do not share any personal data with other organisations for marketing or other commercial purposes. Nonetheless, we may be required to relay your personal data if stipulated by applicable legislation.
Data collected by third-party services may be stored on servers in the U.S. Please see details for each service below.
Social plugins
We use social plugins (web buttons) on our website so that you can share content of our website under your profile in social network sites.
If you click on a button to share, a link will be established between our website and the social network to which you subscribe. Aside from the respective content, the social network provider will receive other personal information. This includes the information that you visit our website at that time.
We integrate the following social plug-in on our website:
LinkedIn Sharing (including SlideShare) of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company
LinkedIn has a GDPR-compliant process for transferring data from Europe, using standard contractual clauses* (also known as EU Model Clauses) for the transfer of personal data out of the EU. For more information, consult the LinkedIn Data Protection Declaration (https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy).
BlueSky
We use BlueSky for blogging purposes related to the project’s activities and progress and it is possible for you to repost or otherwise link to our BlueSky posts. BlueSky may transfer personal information from the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom to a country that does not provide an adequate level of protection under applicable data protection laws. In this case, the transfer will be done based on safeguards such as the European Commission-approved or UK Government-approved Standard Contractual Clauses*, or otherwise in accordance with applicable data protection laws. For more information please visit https://bsky.social/about/support/privacy-policy.
YouTube
We embed YouTube videos on our website. YouTube is owned by Google Inc. When simply loading a page containing a video (so before you click on the video), YouTube will collect information about your visit and store this information on servers in the United States for an undetermined amount of time. This information may also be shared with third parties for a wide array of purposes, including serving you personalised advertisements. To avoid this, we have enabled the privacy-enhanced mode for our YouTube videos on this website. This means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors unless you watch the video. It also means that you have to accept non-essential cookies for the video to load on our website.
You can find further information on the data protection in context with YouTube in the Google Data Protection Regulations (https://policies.google.com/privacy)
MailChimp
We use MailChimp by The Rocket Science Group, LLC as our newsletter platform. When you enter data through our subscription form on the website (email, name), this information is stored on MailChimp servers in U.S.
To generate performance reports for email campaigns, Mailchimp places web beacons (tiny graphic files that contain unique identifiers) in the email campaigns to record actions from subscribers. These technologies record each subscriber’s email address, IP address, date, and time associated with each open and click for a campaign.
Mailchimp contractually commits to transfer and process all of its users’ European data in compliance with the standard contractual clauses* (SCCs), which continue to give their users’ the ability to lawfully transfer data subject to the European data protection law (including the GDPR) outside of Europe to Mailchimp in the United States. The SCCs automatically apply in accordance with Mailchimp’s Data Processing Addendum. We have also signed a data processing agreement with MailChimp. In subscribing to our newsletter, you accept that your information will be transferred to Mailchimp for processing. Learn more about Mailchimp’s privacy practices (https://mailchimp.com/legal/)
*According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), contractual clauses ensuring appropriate data protection safeguards can be used as a ground for data transfers from the EU to third countries. This includes model contract clauses – so-called standard contractual clauses (SCCs) – that have been “pre-approved” by the European Commission.
