Eurac Research, as the Data Controller wishes to inform you that the personal data you provide will be processed in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency established by Regulation (EU) 2016/679, as well as the sector-specific regulations applicable to the processing in question.
1. Purpose of processing and legal bases
Any and all personal data that is in the possession of the Controller, or that may be requested by the Controller, is necessary for the following purposes:
1.1 Organization of an event reservation: The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for the purposes indicated above is the performance of the contract connected to the services requested and to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (art. 6, par. 1, lett. B GDPR).
1.2 Execution of the event, including the preparation and follow-up actions and communications about the event: The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for the purposes indicated above is the performance of the contract connected to the services requested and to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (art. 6, par. 1, lett. B GDPR).
1.3 Processing and compliance with pre-contractual and with contract related requirements: The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for the purposes indicated above is the compliance with a legal obligation (art. 6, par. 1, lett. C GDPR).
1.4 Management of the presentation of scientific contributions: The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for the purposes indicated above is the performance of the contract connected to the services requested and to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (art. 6, par. 1, lett. B GDPR).
1.5 Organization of the Catering (food preferences): The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party (art. 6, par. 1, lett. F GDPR). Information about intolerances or special diets directly or indirectly attributable to the person concerned will not be requested, but their food preferences will be asked for the purpose of establishing the menu to be proposed during the organisation of the catering.
During the event may be taken photos, video and audio recordings.
With reference to the participation in the event in question, it is represented that the organisational characteristics of the same determine a real impossibility for Eurac Research to obtain the prior explicit consent from every single participant potentially captured in the photographs/video/audio recordings taken during the same event. In such circumstances, participants are expected to express any objections directly to the photographers in charge and/or to the Eurac Research staff, thus expressing their wish not to see their images/recordings published. Furthermore, participants are reminded that they retain the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them, in accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
The provision of personal data is voluntary. Failure to provide the personal and sensitive data required for these purposes could interfere with the correct performance of the purposes, thus rendering the participation in the event impossible and will result in the inability to proceed with the requested service.
2. Categories of data processed
The personal data that are processed are:
Personal data (name, surname, title, e-mail, short bio, Institute/Affiliation) of the person concerned.
The data collected are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of the processing.
3. Automated decision-making process
Personal data will not be subject to any automated decision-making process that might influence your choices, without the involvement of a human operator.
4. Methods of personal data processing
By electronic and/or manual means, by specifically authorised subjects to process data in accordance with Articles 28 and 29 GDPR as well as by professionals subject to the obligation of secrecy and adopting the appropriate technical and organisational measures provided for in Article 32 GDPR, respecting the principles of necessity, lawfulness, correctness, accuracy, proportionality, relevance and non-excessiveness.
5. Recipients to whom personal data may be disclosed
The data provided may be communicated to other entities, whether public or private, where this is provided for by the legislation in force.
6. Data transfers beyond the EEA
Personal data may disseminated (images). Some personal data could be transmitted to third countries outside of the EU but only if the transmission of personal data is connected to the performance of the institutional activities of Eurac Research. Where data is transferred to a third country, this will be done on the basis of the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (SCC) with supplementary measures and in according with the legal requirements.
7. Retention period
Personal data are retained by Eurac Research, pursuant to Art. 5 GDPR, for the time necessary to pursue the purposes for which they are processed, without prejudice to the longer period necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations due to the nature of the data or document or for reasons of public interest or for the exercise of public authority, also taking into account the provisions of the applicable legislation in force.
