The streamSAVE project is committed to conducting all project activities responsibly and ethically. This page features information on how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal data, ensuring compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What is the scope of our privacy policy?
The streamSAVE consortium is made up of 12 member partners, which are responsible for the treatment of users’ personal data and informs its users that this data will be treated in accordance with the provisions in the regulations in force on the protection of personal data (2016 European GDPR regulation).
Therefore, this privacy statement applies to the entire lifespan of information within the streamSAVE project website, from the obtainment of information to the final deletion of information.
As explained further, additional guidelines or procedures are established for specific areas or processes – such as research, interviews or surveys- within the streamSAVE project that provide a detailed explanation of the measures that are taken in order to achieve the desired level of data protection.
For what purposes may we process your personal data?
The streamSAVE project collects personal data to the extent required to fulfill a specific purpose. The collected data may be shared with the European Commission (Executive Agency for SMEs – EASME) and with the project’s consortium for compliance with reporting, monitoring and auditing requirements, but personal information will not be shared, nor sold to third party marketers. Personal data may be collected and further processed under the streamSAVE project for the following purposes:
- To notify users about website changes, updates and project news
- To communicate about upcoming events
- To manage project webinars, workshops and training activities to facilitate dialogue groups
- To deliver and monitor demand-driven and tailored capacity support towards projects stakeholders
- To establish new partnerships, engage stakeholders and collect feedback from projects stakeholders
- To provide access to project social networks
- To deliver and monitor newsletters
The streamSAVE project is structured to support the needs of its stakeholders as well as possible within EU Member States, concerning energy savings estimations for priority actions under Article 3 and 7 of the EED. With complete trust in the confidentiality of streamSAVE consortium, stakeholders will be able to freely contribute and discuss methodologies on priority actions within their Member States.
Therefore, the streamSAVE consortium considers it very important to treat the input and contributions from stakeholders as confidential during its activities and in the streamSAVE public reporting. No personal information will be shared within the streamSAVE community of stakeholders, nor towards third parties, unless the concerned stakeholders agree. Below we explain how personal data will be treated.
