When you visit this website, our hosting infrastructure processes technical information necessary to deliver and protect the service. This may include your IP address, requested pages, access times and browser information.
The hosting platform also provides visitor statistics that help us understand the overall reach of the website.
Information about cookies and similar technologies is provided in our Cookie Policy.
3. Contacting the Association
When you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to provide, including your email address, message and any attachments.
Authorized Association personnel use this information to respond to your enquiry and manage related correspondence concerning the Association’s activities. Providing information by email is voluntary.
4. Purposes and legal bases
Personal data is processed as necessary to operate and secure the website, understand its overall reach and respond to correspondence, generally on the basis of these legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Where a request concerns steps towards an agreement, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR may also apply.
Where applicable law requires prior consent for optional technologies, that requirement applies separately. Consent to optional technologies is not consent to all processing of personal data.
5. Service providers and international transfers
We use service providers for website hosting, technical infrastructure and email communications. Hosting is provided through ChatGPT Sites, with Cloudflare infrastructure. Email is provided through Google Workspace.
These providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Their data-processing terms provide for adequacy decisions or appropriate contractual safeguards, including standard contractual clauses, where applicable.
Further information is available in OpenAI’s Sites Data Processing Addendum and Google’s Data Processing Addendum. Contact us for information about relevant arrangements or a copy of applicable safeguards.
We do not sell personal data or use correspondence for advertising.
6. Retention
We retain correspondence only for as long as reasonably necessary to address the enquiry, manage related correspondence and meet applicable legal or administrative obligations.
Technical information is retained by the hosting services according to their operational, security and maintenance purposes and applicable service arrangements.

Under applicable data protection law, you may request access to your personal data, correction, deletion or restriction of processing. You may also object to certain processing and, where applicable, request data portability or withdraw consent.
