Privacy Policy

The EU Awareness Centre (EUAC) is committed to respecting the privacy and personal data of individuals who visit our website or interact with our organisation, including contributors, subscribers, partners, and readers of our publications, including the Almanach. We process personal data in a careful and responsible manner, in line with applicable European Union data protection standards and Belgian law.

When you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter, submit an article, contact us, or otherwise engage with EUAC, we may collect limited personal information that you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, professional affiliation, or other relevant details. We collect only the data necessary to carry out our non-profit activities and to communicate with you in a meaningful and appropriate way.

Personal data is used exclusively for purposes connected to EUAC’s mission, including managing publications and subscriptions, handling article submissions, communicating with contributors and subscribers, sharing updates about our activities, and responding to enquiries. We do not use personal data for commercial purposes, profiling, or automated decision-making.

EUAC does not sell or trade personal data. Access to personal information is limited to a small number of authorised persons involved in the organisation’s activities or to service providers who assist us with basic operational functions, such as website hosting or mailing services. In such cases, data is shared only to the extent necessary and handled in a confidential manner.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures, appropriate to the size and nature of our organisation, to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, or misuse. Personal data is kept only for as long as it is needed for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable law, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

In accordance with EU data protection rules, you have the right to request access to your personal data, to ask for corrections, or to request its deletion. You may also object to certain uses of your data or withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent. Requests are handled in good faith and within a reasonable timeframe.

By using our website or providing personal information to EUAC, you acknowledge and agree to the processing of your data as described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle personal data, you may contact us at privacy [at] euawareness [dot] org. You also have the right to raise concerns with the Belgian Data Protection Authority if you believe your data protection rights have not been respected.
