    a. When you decide to subscribe to the newsletter service
    The processing of data carried out in connection with the registration for the newsletter service will be carried out on the basis of your consent. Such consent may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting any processing previously carried out.
    b. When you wish to register on the Website and take part in one of the calls for projects
    The legitimate basis for the processing of your personal data for registration in any of the calls for projects, through the Website, is the execution of the contractual relationship between the parties, free of charge and in accordance with the terms of the subscription requested and those of the legal notice and the terms and conditions of the Website, which will be displayed on the Website.
    c. When you wish to participate in activities for employees, family members or friends of employees
    For registrations and participation in activities for employees, family or friends, the legitimate basis for processing your personal data related to the registration and your attendance at the event will be the execution of the contractual relationship. However, in the event that you request special assistance for the attendance and accessibility of the event, a circumstance that may imply the existence of a disability or health-related limitation of any kind, the treatment will be carried out in a more discreet and confidential manner, in order to comply with our purpose and legal obligation to facilitate universal accessibility to the activities.
    The e-mail address provided for the verification of the consent to the processing of the data of the child under 14 years of age, in case the accompanying person is not the holder of the parental authority or guardian of that child, is treated in compliance with our legal obligation to verify with reasonable effort that the consent was given or authorised by the holder of the parental authority or guardian of the child under 14 years of age.
    The legitimate basis for sending satisfaction surveys to participants in activities for employees, family or friends, as well as for statistics, is the legitimate interest on the one hand to know your opinion about the activities, and on the other hand, to analyse and improve the management and organisation of the activities.
    The Foundation has carried out a weighting analysis to assess whether we could indeed carry out this processing on the basis of our legitimate interest. Participants can apply to us through the contact details indicated. However, the following are some of the main conclusions of this analysis: (i) sending of satisfaction and preparation of statistics surveys represents a real interest for us which is entirely lawful; (ii) it is proportionate because there are no less invasive measures that allow us to develop our interest in your opinion on the activities we organise and improve their organisation and management; (iii) it does not represent a detriment to you, rather it will allow us to adapt, if necessary, our activities to your preferences, which is beneficial to you. Note that you can object to us doing so at any time, from the outset, and this is common practice in the industry.
  5. Who do we share your data with?
    We do not disclose your data to third parties nor do we carry out international data transfers.
    Although the Foundation does not disclose personal data to third parties, it collaborates with certain third-party service providers who may have access to personal data and who process such data in the name and on behalf of the Foundation as a result of providing services to the Foundation.
