Data Protection Information – Care4Youth

As you may know, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in effect since May 25, 2018.

The GDPR introduces a duty of transparency, which means providing individuals with detailed information on how their personal data is processed.

When you subscribe to the Care4Youth newsletter or register for project activities or events, you are asked to provide your email address (mandatory) and other optional information. We would like to inform you in advance about how this data will be used.

In compliance with the GDPR, we inform you that Consulta Europa Projects and Innovation, as the organization responsible for the communication and dissemination of the Care4Youth project, will process your data lawfully and fairly, only when necessary, by electronic and/or paper means, and with appropriate technical and organizational security measures. Your data will be processed solely for the purpose of sending you the newsletter, informing you about specific project-related activities (event invitations, workshops, etc.), and producing general statistics on the total number of users reached, the type of organizations involved, and their countries of origin.

Your data will be processed by authorized staff of Consulta Europa Projects and Innovation, by Care4Youth project partners, and by external providers (such as hosting services). Your data will not be used for commercial purposes or profiling.

You may exercise your rights at any time under the GDPR, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, or lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.

Before giving your free and informed consent, we encourage you to read this privacy notice carefully. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us — we will be happy to assist you.

Best regards,
