CEWASTE - Participant information sheet

You are invited to join the CEWASTE network and contribute to the success of the project.

If you wish to be registered as participant in the CEWASTE network, you will be asked to tick a box proving your consent with the data treatment procedures described in this document. For information, this participant information sheet is only available in English, as are the rest of communications in the CEWASTE project.

Data protection

Please note that any contact data requested will be included in a database for the exclusive use of the project partners for project related tasks. It will be solely used for the purpose of contacting individuals in order to:

  • gather relevant information for the CEWASTE project in the form of providing feedback for consultations
  • disseminate project updates, results and achievements, and
  • to circulate invitations to participate in activities (surveys/consultations, workshops, events) related to the project.

Only personal data that is relevant for the project will be collected. No sensitive information will be gathered. In line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access information about the use of your personal data, as well as the right to rectify/amend, cancel or oppose the use of your personal data at any time during the period of research and storage of your data. To do so please contact: info@cewaste.eu . Your data will be kept for a maximum of 5 years after the project ends 31 October 2020 but will not be used for contact purposes after that date. The contact data collected will not be disclosed to companies or media without prior authorisation.

The information is collected and stored in Google Forms and Google Sheets as well as on secure servers. The data security procedures of Google are available here.

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.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website 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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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.

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.

How long we retain your data

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.
