Privacy Policy of the Transform4Europe (T4EU) Alliance Web Services
About
Data Collection and External Links
The Transform4Europe Alliance websites facilitate participation in various activities, such as T4EU conferences, university-wide lectures, language courses, and mobility opportunities.
Please note that registration for these activities often takes place via external forms or platforms managed by partner universities or third-party service providers. In such cases, data is provided voluntarily by the user directly to the respective entity. The Alliance web services may also host internal forms for creating accounts in systems supporting international cooperation, where personal data provided is not visible to unauthorized persons.
Newsletter Subscription (SARE)
The Alliance offers a newsletter service to keep users informed about its activities, events, and opportunities. For the purpose of distribution, we use the SARE system. By subscribing to the newsletter, the user provides their email address voluntarily. The processing of this data is strictly for the delivery of the requested informational content, and users may unsubscribe at any time.
Purpose of Processing
Employee accounts in IT systems dedicated to Transform4Europe are created for purposes necessary for performing duties related to the T4EU project.
Automated Data Collection and Analytics
In order to ensure security, maintain user sessions, and optimize services, the IT systems of the T4EU web services automatically collect and process data. The Transform4Europe website uses Matomo, an open-source, ethical web analytics platform, to handle this process while respecting user privacy.
- Visitor Profiling and Technical Data: For statistical purposes, security monitoring, and to optimize user experience, the system automatically collects:
- the IP address (processed in an anonymized way/masked so it cannot identify an individual),
- a unique, non-identifying Visitor ID,
- the name of the client station and technical details of devices used (e.g., desktop, mobile, browser type),
- the username in the authorization process (if applicable),
- the time of the inquiry, duration of the visit, and number of pages viewed,
- entry sources (e.g., direct entry, search engines),
- information on message headers and response status,
- approximate geographic location (e.g., city and country).
- Technical Cookies: The website uses technical cookies only to ensure proper operation and core functionalities. These cookies are “Always Active” as they are essential for the website to display correctly and maintain security.
- Other Cookies: The website may occasionally contain uncategorized cookies that are currently being analyzed and have not yet been classified into a specific category.
- Management: While technical cookies are necessary for the site to function, users can control the behavior of their web browser with respect to other types of tracking.
