Dear user,

As you may know, since 25 May 2018 the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter GDPR) has become applicable.

The GDPR imposes an obligation of transparency, which is to provide data subjects with detailed information on the processing of their personal data.

By subscribing to the AquaWind newsletter and registering to meetings or events, you will send us your e-mail (which is compulsory) and other information which is not compulsory, and we wish to inform you beforehand how it will be used.

Your data will be processed by duly authorised Consulta Europa Projects and Innovation employees and collaborators, as well as by AquaWind partners and some external suppliers (e.g. providers of hosting services), and will not be used for sending commercial communications or for profiling purposes.

You may exercise your rights at any time in accordance with the GDPR, such as requesting access to data, correcting them if there are errors, deleting them (e.g. if they are no longer necessary), processing limitation and portability, as well as filing a complaint with the Supervisory Authority.

Before freely expressing your consent in a conscious manner, we invite you to read carefully the full information notice below. Should you have any doubt, do not hesitate to contact us: we will provide you with all the necessary clarifications.
