CONNECT International (Address: Avenue Michel Angel 49, Brussels, Belgium; Phone: +4915126535312; Email: office@connect-international.org) is collecting and storing your personal data and contact details requested in this participation form.

Why do we collect your data?

We process this data in the framework of the preparation and implementation of the Work Programme 2020, including the travel arrangements, accommodation and participation in the project’s activities.

All data is being stored in our Participants Database.

Who do we share it with?

We will share the data internally and externally during all phases of the project. This includes:

• members of the HR and recruitment team,
• interviewers involved in the recruitment process,
• IT staff if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles,
• speakers, trainers, facilitators and other members of the organizing team,
• other participants of the same project,
• the European Commission, due to our obligation to send detailed reports regarding the process, participants and results of the project.

*Certain data you provide will be shared with the hotel which covers your accommodation during the project’s event (name, surname, country of residence and dietary requirements).

For how long will we keep it?

Your data will be retained during all phases of the Work Programme 2020.

After the completion of the project we will hold it on file for a further 12 (twelve) months for consideration in case of similar projects or networking opportunities.

At the end of that period, or once you withdraw your consent, your data will be immediately deleted or destroyed.

In case of a participant’s exclusion from any phase of the project for any reason, they will be further informed in detail about the processing and storage of their data.

Photographs & Video Recordings

Apart from the data requested in this participation form and during all phases of the project photographs and/or video recordings including images of you may be taken and used by CONNECT International.

This material may be used for promotion, research and publicity purposes. Therefore images/recordings could be used in print and digital media formats in various channels where CONNECT International disseminates information about its activities including print publications, websites, posters and social media.

Some images/recordings may be kept permanently once they are published and also stored as an archive of CONNECT International image and media bank.
