We recognise that you entrust personal data to us, and we wish to assure you that we take seriously our responsibilities in protecting and safeguarding the same.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we process personal data that we collect on this website (the “Site”) or that is otherwise provided to us by the Users. This Policy may be updated at any time. Such updates will be effective from the date of the uploading of the revised Policy to the Site or its communication to you. Please ensure that you regularly read the latest version of this Policy.

  1. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

    We may collect personal data about you when you use this Site, or when you apply for or use other services offered by FEBS2024PULA, in the following ways:
  • We may collect personal data about you from applications, forms or questionnaires you may complete or agreements you enter into with us or in the course of you establishing or maintaining a customer relationship with us.
  • If you register to our courses we will ask you to provide us with certain personal data about yourself. This data may include your name, company name, title, address, country of residence, e-mail address, telephone number, and account number.

Further data may be collected by FEBS2024PULA as a result of the use of cookies (see Section 5 below).

  1. USE OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data collected about you in accordance with Section 1 above may be used to verify your identity and eligibility, to provide information to you in your field of interest that we believe may be of interest to you, to record your interest in services that we offer, and to respond properly to your requests for information. Furthermore, we may use such personal data to contact you in order to announce new services or events (including by way of telephone, e-mail, SMS, or fax), for service improvement studies or for internal research.

FEBS2024PULA may use the personal data stored about you jointly with its national member societies and other closely affiliated organisations. In cases where we believe that additional services may be of interest to you, we may share your personal data with business partners of FEBS2024PULA to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the applicable law. We may also disclose this information to firms that perform services on our behalf to the extent permitted by applicable law. These service providers are required to provide for adequate protection of your personal data and to use it only for the purposes set out in this Policy.

FEBS2024PULA may, in accordance with the respective requirements under the applicable law and solely for the purpose mentioned in this Policy, transfer your personal data to other jurisdictions. Except for the purposes set out in this Policy, we do not sell, rent or otherwise disclose to any third party any personal data about the Users, except with such person’s consent or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

We will store your personal data, in accordance with the applicable law, for so long as such data is needed for the purposes set out in this Policy.

  1. DATA SECURITY

We restrict access to personal data we store about you to those employees or other parties who need access to such data in order to provide services to you. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal data, including firewalls, individual passwords and encryption and authentication technology, and take all other necessary and adequate administrative, technical, personnel, and physical measures to safeguard the same against loss, theft, unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification and to ensure its integrity.

Please note, however, that data transported over an open network, such as the Internet or e-mail, may be accessible to anybody. FEBS2024PULA cannot guarantee, and is not responsible for, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted via such open networks. When disclosing any personal data via an open network, you should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to others, and consequently, can be collected and used by others without your consent. In particular, while individual data packets are often encrypted, the names of the sender and recipient are not.

Even if both the sender and recipient are located in the same country data may also be transmitted via such networks to other countries regularly and without controls, including countries that do not afford the same level of data protection as your country of domicile.

Your data may be lost during transmission or may be accessed by unauthorised parties. We do not accept any liability for direct or indirect losses as regards the security of your data during its transfer via Internet. Please use other means of communication if you think this is necessary or prudent for security reasons.
