Privacy policy Privacy policy
The following statement explains our policy regarding the personal information we collect about you for the purposes of the Youth Manifesto resource competition.
 
 

Overview

The Youth Manifesto platform (“the platform”) is dedicated to respecting the privacy of its users. Our intention is to provide a secure and safe environment for all users. The following statement outlines the policies by which the Platform collects, manages, and uses the data provided to us by users, and how users of the portal may exercise their rights. Use of the Youth Manifesto platform indicates you have read these policies and agree to abide by them.
 
The platform is controlled by EUN Partnership aisbl, the legal name for European Schoolnet (hereafter referred to as EUN), which acts as the Data Controller for any personal data collected via the platform. Contact information for EUN can be found below.
 

Information collection

To serve its users in the best way possible, the platform requires users to submit the following information as a part of the submission of content for the resource competition:
 
Applicant’s data (Adults): name, surname, email address, country.
Applicant’s data (Minors): first name, age, full name of supporting adult* and e-mail address.
 
* If you are a student under the age of 18 you should have permission from an adult to upload to this platform and should complete the relevant fields in the upload form. 
 
In addition, information such as user IP address, internet service provider (ISP), web browser, operating system, approximate times of use, referring site, email address and any similar data exchanged between a user’s computer and the servers of the platform will be collected (this applies to all users of the platform regardless of whether content is submitted or not). These will not be linked to specific user accounts except as indicated below.
Finally, aggregate statistics will be collected regularly, including but not limited to the number of users and page statistics during a specific period. 
 

Use of collected information

  • Personal information provided by the user or collected during usage of the platform will only be used to:
  • Implement the Youth Manifesto including managing the resource gallery, judging the entries, publishing the names of the winners in the media and awarding the prizes.
  • Enable and improve the user experience within this project. 
Access to this information is strictly limited to EUN, the European Commission and the Safer Internet Centres, as well as individual experts and judges working for these organisations.  The transfer of specific data to other third parties can be permitted under the specific authorisation of EUN acting as the Data Controller; such authorisation will only be granted by the Data Controller to third parties with a legitimate interest in the Youth Manifesto. Personal data will only be transferred in accordance with applicable regulations. EUN will not divulge your personal data for direct marketing purposes to third parties.
EUN will have access to provided account information and can modify and/or delete information as needed to maintain the integrity of the user database or to ensure the proper operation of the platform.
 

Length of data storage

Personal data provided by the users of the site or collected during their usage of the site will not be stored by EUN in a form allowing the identification of the users for longer than one year after the date of the close of entries for the Youth Manifesto resource competition. In addition, registered users may contact EUN as indicated below to terminate their accounts, which will result in the deletion of the personal data that they have provided during registration.
 

Site security

The platform has implemented and continues to maintain appropriate technical and management measures to keep your personal information secure and safe from loss, damage, corruption, or deletion.
