Where do we store and protect your data?

The data processing related to the website’s services takes place at the Secretariat of youris.com located in Lodi (Italy) I-26900 via Volturno 15. The applicable law on the top of the EU GDPR 679/2016 is therefore the Italian Privacy Regulation, considering the effective and actual processing activity and the context in which the personal data are processed.

The data processing is performed by members of the youris.com staff who have been appointed and trained in maintaining security and confidentiality of personal data.

In addition to the data collection, the processing of your personal data may involve their recording, storage, modification, communication and cancellation. The data processing shall be carried out by authorized staff, with the use of electronic equipment. Storage of personal data shall be in electronic form for the time that is strictly necessary to meet the purposes and in accordance with local regulations and internal processes.

With regards to the personal information you provide, please note that all the necessary steps will be taken to ensure the confidentiality and security of shared data, in compliance with the provisions of the Privacy Regulation. In particular, we implemented all the technical, organizational, logistical and procedural security measures in line with technological developments pursuant to the Regulation, in order to guarantee the minimum level of data protection required by the legislation in force.

The data are stored in a database that is hosted by a hosting & cloud service provider,  on which youris relies. The hosting and the related responsibilities are ruled by a specific contract. In this contract the above-mentioned Provider claims that the servers used to host and store the database are located in data centres within the European Union.

The services offered are in compliance with the relevant legislation on data protection thanks to the adoption of appropriate security measures.

Who is processing your data?

youris.com is the Data Controller. This means that the youris.com’s management has the accountability and the responsibility to set structure and procedures to treat and protect your data.

Appointed members of youris.com staff are responsible for the actual treatment of your data; concretely they will treat your data as described in the previous section

Other consortium’s members might occasionally operate as Data Processor.

Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on the User’s computer’s browser directory when visiting certain websites. The website uses cookies for specific and limited purposes, namely to provide easier navigation and for the purposes of internal security, of statistical analysis related to navigation and of system administration. Session cookies allow Users to be recognized within a website so any page changes or item or data selection you do is remembered from page to page. Session cookies are temporarily stored in the computer memory only during a User’s browsing session and are automatically deleted from the User’s computer when the browser is closed.[1] Persistent cookies remain in the browser’s subfolder and are activated again once the User visits the website that created that particular cookie thus facilitating the navigation and making it faster (with the “keep me logged in” option). Analytical cookies collect anonymous data for internal purposes with the aim of providing a better browsing experience to the User. These data help us to understand how visitors use our website, the number of visits, the most visited pages, the average duration of visits and much more, allowing us to improve the content of our website and the way it is presented.
All collected data are anonymous and aggregated.

Why do we process your personal data?

Over the years, we have created a community of people interested in being updated on the most recent scientific results, work and eventually discoveries in areas such as Bioeconomy, Smart cities, Energy efficiency, Industry, ICT, Health and cultural activities. We collect information about these people in a database. This database is continuously increased with the subscriptions to new projects or through dedicated networking actions that we carry out.

This community has been created by conveying in a unique database the contacts details voluntarily provided in the context of previous similar projects, personal data of professionals such as journalists or experts who have been interviewed, or lists of contacts that have been collected from third parties, like the consortia members as well as publicly available contacts details.

The Personal Data that you shared with us registering to the CommFABnet website, or to one of our organization’s web-sites will be stored in this database of which youris.com is the Data Controller, while appointed members of its staff are the Data Processors. Occasionally, other consortium partners might act as data processor under the Data Controller supervision.

Which is the legal ground on which we operate?

The Data Controller has the Legitimate Interest to treat your personal data as per art. 6 (f) GDPR 179/2016. Our detailed rationale for claiming legitimate interest is based on a Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA), periodically reviewed.

We believe that it is a mutual benefit to remain in contact, as you will receive from us exclusively communications as detailed in the previous paragraphs, and we are counting to hear from you back on the specific topics through our social activity for a mutual growth.

How long will we retain and process your data?

Your data will be processed for the whole duration of the project that you subscribed to or of other similar projects that we proposed to you. You will always have the possibility to opt-out from the projects if you are not interested in.

Once a specific project is over, and starting from the last communication that you receive from us, we will keep your data form a further period of 2 years. If in this period of time you don’t receive any further updating, we will get in contact with you to verify you are still interested in being part of the community, and in case extend the retention period for 2 additional years. If after the 2 additional years, youris.com hasn’t done any communication activity related to your area of interest your data will be deleted. 

Data transfer

youris.com processes do not require any transfer of data to external third parties with the sole exception of auditing authorities of the public or private institutions that funded the research projects.

Following the above described processes and treatments, your personal data can be communicated to the Data Controller’s staff.

Furthermore, and in so far as necessary, Personal data shall be disclosed, in so far as they are concerned, to CommFABnet Consortium, and Consortium Contractors including but not limited to the following categories:

  • Organizations that are part of the CommFABnet Consortium;
  • Persons in charge of managing the website and the related activities;
  • Persons who provide services for the management of the information system of the company;
  • Persons carrying out monitoring, auditing and certification activities with regard to the business in which organizations are in, even in the customers’ interest;

The personal data you provide will not be sold to or shared with third parties.

We will only then share your personal data if necessary and only with vendors or agents who work on our behalf for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. In that case, your personal data is therefore shared with these agents, but only for the performance of services on behalf of and on behalf of youris.com.

Finally, and only to the extent that this is required by law or strictly necessary for the performance of the services or for the protection of our rights, or the rights of third parties or data subjects affiliated with us, we will provide your personal data to law enforcement agencies, research organizations, affiliated companies or in court proceedings.
