This privacy policy explains how we collect, handle, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website, sign up for our newsletters, or participate in our cultural projects.

Because EUNIC clusters operate as networks of European cultural institutes, personal data may occasionally be managed in partnership with EUNIC Global (EUNIC AISBL) based in Brussels, Belgium.

  • Automated Technologies: As you interact with our website, we may automatically collect Technical Data about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies.
  1. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

  • To send you updates, newsletters, and cultural news you have requested to receive.

  1. DATA SHARING AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

As a network of European cultural organizations, we may share your information among the active member institutes of our local EUNIC Cluster for the sole purpose of organizing joint projects. We do not sell or trade your data to third-party marketing companies. If your data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA)—for instance, to a local partner institute in a non-EU host country—we ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate legal safeguards.

  1. DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those steering members, employees, and partners who have a business need to know.

  1. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements (such as reporting back to EU funding bodies or EUNIC Global).

  1. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction or erasure of your personal data.
  • Object to processing or request restriction of processing your personal data.
  • Request the transfer of your personal data (data portability).
