Privacy Policy
Dear Data Subject, We wish to inform you that the GDPR provides for the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of Personal Data as a fundamental right, and we take user privacy very seriously.
Pursuant to Article 13 of the GDPR, therefore, EUF will process your Personal Data according to the present Privacy Policy, which describes how such data is collected, stored, used, communicated and managed in connection with the ETMP platform and the related Services.
Please notify us at the address contact@teachwitherasmus.eu without delay should you notice any instances in which any violation of the present Privacy Policy occurs, or if you have questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy or practices.
Please note that the scope of this Policy is limited to information collected or received by EUF through use of the Services.

Type of data Processed
Automatically collected data. The computer systems and applications dedicated to the functioning of the ETMP platform detect, during their normal operation, some data (whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols) potentially associated with identifiable users. Among the data collected are IP addresses and domain names of computers used by users who connect to the site, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in reply, the numerical code indicating the status of the response from the server (successful, error, etc..) and other parameters regarding the operating system, browser and computer environment used by the user. These data are processed, for the time strictly necessary, for the sole purpose of obtaining statistical information on the use of the site and to check its regular operation. The provision of such data is compulsory as it is directly related to the web browsing experience.
Data provided voluntarily by the user. The voluntary and explicit communication of Personal Data to the EUF through the ETMP platform implies the knowledge of this Privacy Policy, with the relevant request for consent and the eventual compilation of forms specifically prepared for this purpose.
If the Personal Data communicated to us does not belong to the same natural person who communicates it, the latter will be required to explicitly confirm that they have obtained the relevant consent from the Data Subject. In such cases, with the vision of this Privacy Policy and with the above-mentioned confirmation, the subject who communicates the Personal Data also undertakes to hold EUF harmless in case of false or reticent statements, in particular in case they have not actually obtained the consent to the processing from the relevant Data Subjects.
The voluntary sending of e-mails to our e-mail addresses does not require further information or requests for consent.
On the contrary, specific summary information will be reported or displayed if needed in the pages of the site prepared for particular services on request (form). The user must therefore explicitly consent to the use of the data reported in these forms in order to send any request.
Cookies. The ETMP platform site uses cookies. The data collected through cookies can be used to access parts of the site or for statistical purposes or to make the browsing experience more pleasant and efficient in the future, trying to assess user behaviour and modify the proposed offer of content according to their behaviour.
Origin of Processed Personal Data
The Personal Data that EUF holds in connection with the ETMP platform and related Services is collected directly from the Data Subject when they register in the platform as Users or when they upload any mobility opportunities, apply to them, or propose themselves for mobility opportunities on the platform.
Data Controller
The Data Controller is European University Foundation - Campus Europae, 16C rue de Canach 5353 Oetrange, Luxembourg
Phone: +352 26 15 10
Email: contact@teachwitherasmus.eu
Purpose of data Processing and legal basis
The processing of users’ Personal Data has its legal basis in their consent and is carried out for the following purposes:
- to create and access the relevant Accounts;
- to provide the ETMP platform related Services;
- to improve the web browsing experience;
- to use the data contained in the contact e-mails received and in the forms, to be able to send answers to specific requests, including users support;
- to evaluate the behaviour of users in order to conduct research, to create internal reports, and for possible educational purposes; and
- to modify the offer of content according to the users’ behaviour;
- to communicate our news;
- to send service related notifications that may be of importance to continue using the Services, and safety/security notifications related to the participation in programmes featured in our Service.
Personal data may be disclosed to third parties, if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes described above.
EUF may also process the users’ data in order to pro-actively analyse the system architecture, data models and infrastructure resources in order to offer the Service in the best possible way. This includes, for example, analysis of slow-running database queries, predicting the growth rate of data (in order to allocate resources ahead of time), and analysis of the data contents and format in order to choose the most performant and fitting data models. It is unavoidable that in order to be able to provide the best possible service, EUF must be able to understand the data, as well as emergent trends in the data. Such analysis is done, whenever practical, in an anonymized manner and with only the above, purely technical or service-oriented purposes in mind.
Mandatory nature or not of the consent
The User’s consent is compulsory while using the ETMP platform, and in particular to be able to own an Account and correctly execute and manage the Services, for what concerns the purposes under points 1, 2, and 4 above. For the purposes under points 3 and 8 above, the consent is optional, but the lack thereof may worsen the provision of the Services. For the purposes under points 5, 6, and 7 the consent is optional and will not compromise in any way the provision of the Services, should you desire not to provide your consent for one or more specific purposes, please inform us at the time your Personal Data is communicated to us, or at any time thereafter, by contacting us at the e-mail address contact@teachwitherasmus.eu.
Data recipients
In general
Within the limits pertinent to the Processing purposes indicated, Users’ data may be communicated to partners, consulting companies, private companies, appointed by the Data Controller as Data Processors or for legal obligations or to fulfil some users’ specific requests. In such cases we take all the necessary technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your Personal Data from unauthorised access or against loss, misuse or alteration by third parties.
Our Services may also depend on third-party tracking tools from our service providers, examples of which include email service provider as well as push-notification service provider. Such third parties may use cookies, APIs, and SDKs in our services to enable them to collect and analyse user information on our behalf. In this context, third parties may have access to information such as your device identifier, MAC address, IMEI, locale (specific location where a given language is spoken), geo-location information, and IP address for the purpose of providing their services under their respective privacy policies.
The possible Data Processors and persons in charge of the Processing will in such cases be punctually identified and at the Users’ request be communicated in detail. For any question in this regard, please contact us at the address contact@teachwitherasmus.eu.
Please note that in such cases users will be also subject to the relevant third-party privacy policies. For any processing carried out by third parties as Data Processors in relation to the ETMP platform and related Services, users may contact EUF at the address contact@teachwitherasmus.eu or directly such third parties.
For all other cases of processing by third parties, please contact them directly in the manner indicated in their privacy policies.

EUF may be mandated to disclose Personal Data to comply with laws, regulations, legal processes, or court orders; it may need to process such Data to enforce or withstand their rights; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of its users, or other individuals. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection.
Lastly, EUF may share your information in connection with potential merger, de-merger, acquisition, change of ownership, change of control, or in general extraordinary transaction. In such cases, the users will be notified via email and/or notice on our site of any change in ownership of the Personal Data.

Period and place of Data retention

The verification of the obsolescence of the data stored in relation to the purposes for which they were collected is carried out periodically.
EUF stores the Personal Data on servers located in Ireland, Germany and Greece. EUF may nonetheless store such Data in other countries within the European Union. In such cases, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
