This Privacy Policy explains how the project EducEurope (hereafter “the Project”) collects, processes and protects your Personal Data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, hereafter “the GDPR”).
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
The data collected on this website stem exclusively from the voluntary registering of your personal data, for example by leaving a comment.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on the visitor’s computer or mobile device.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, country of residence and profession/status in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics tools to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of this website.
Who we share your data with and where we send it
Your data will not be shared with any organisation – commercial or otherwise – except in case of external consultancy in relation with the website. In such a case appropriate measures will be implemented.
We will never divulge your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
We put in place measures to ensure that your data are kept up-to-date and processed securely in compliance with the GDPR.
The legal basis for processing personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 point f) GDPR (legitimate interest) as the legitimate interest of the Project is to offer a website providing information to users and visitors.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
According to the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, object to or restrict the processing related to your personal data. If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can exercise your rights by sending a message to educeurope@uni.lu.
What data breach procedures we have in place
If you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR, you will have the right – without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy – to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
