We, Alternatives Européennes (Alternatives Européennes, association under the French law of 1901 | 16 rue Boursault, 75017 Paris, France | info@euroalter.com | hereafter “EA”) would like to be completely transparent on why we need the personal details we request when you support us and how we will use them.
EA is a non-profit organization promoting democracy, equality and culture beyond the nation-state. The data processing in connection with the use of our website serves us to enable you to use the website technically. We understand data protection as part of our commitment to a participatory and inclusive society.
The following Privacy Policy provides information on how we may collect, retain, process, share, store otherwise handle data about you when you visit the website of Citizens Take Over Europe. We process your data in compliance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Legislation (hereafter “GDPR”), which came into force on May 25th, 2018.
In order to ensure the highest possible security of your data, we use technical tools which are compliant with the GDPR. Nevertheless, your data on the internet can never be fully protected against access by third parties, for example, your emails sent to us may contain security vulnerabilities. We recommend you to use the necessary technical tools to protect your privacy online.
