4. Personal Information You Specifically Provide

Your Personal Information. During your use of the Website, you may be asked to voluntarily provide certain personally identifiable information (such as your name and email address) for purposes such as facilitating communications with you and providing you with the administrator services. You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional. Also, you may voluntarily provide us with your personal information via Electronic Communications.

5. Use of Your Personal Information

The administrator may use your personal information to contact and correspond with you, to respond to your inquiries, confirm your identity, to promote and facilitate the development, achievement and harmonization of research projects, to help the administrator managing its educational affairs and as otherwise permitted by law. Generally, the administrator will consider the fact that you have voluntarily visited the Website and have provided the administrator with contact information to signify your consent for the administrator to use your contact information for purposes of tracking the administrator communications with you and providing you with information relating to the administrator or related information which the administrator thinks may be of interest or use to you. Only the members of the administration team with proper authorization will have access to your personal information, and only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, as amended from time to time.

6. Disclosure of Your Personal Information

Personal information provided to the administrator will not be sold or shared with third parties without your prior consent, other than what is necessary to provide the administrator services, which may include providing relevant information to third parties directly involved in the promotion and facilitation of the development, achievement and harmonization of research projects and educational programmes.
Tracking Information. In addition, the administrator may use non-personal information to create aggregate tracking information reports regarding Website user demographics and Website traffic patterns. None of the tracking information in the reports can be connected to the identities or other personal information of individual users. The administrator also may link tracking information with Website users' personal information. Once such a link is made, all of the linked information is treated as personal information and will be used and disclosed only in accordance with this Policy, as amended from time to time.

7. Law Enforcement and Legal Disclosure

The administrator may disclose your personal information to a government institution that has asserted its lawful authority to obtain the information or where the administrator has reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful in the investigation of unlawful activity, or to comply with a subpoena or warrant or an order made by a court, person or body with jurisdiction to compel the production of information, or to comply with court rules regarding the production of records and information, or to the administrator’s legal counsel.

8. Storing and Securing Your Information

The administrator will store and process your personal information. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. Due to the nature of the Internet and Internet technologies, security and privacy risks cannot be eliminated and the administrator cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Policy. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this Website or any Electronic Communications may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail or Electronic Communications. When you provide information, you do so at your own risk.
