Why we process your personal data:
When you visit our website, we collect and store certain technical information about your visit for use in website management and security purposes, and to evaluate and improve our website’s usability. We may also use your personal data via our contact page to facilitate a request, respond to an enquiry, or keep you informed about your areas of interest. The 2050 Pathways Platform will not make personal data available to anyone other than our employees and will never use your personal information for marketing purposes.
Lawful basis for processing:
This information is used to help make our website more useful to you. With this data, we learn about the number of visitors to our website and the types of technology our visitors use. Except for authorised law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are retained temporarily as required for security and website management purposes only.
Cookies
You may visit our website anonymously. Except as described in this privacy notice, we do not collect identification data of our visitors.
We do, however, use cookies (small computer files that stay on your computer and let us know when and how often you visit our website) to keep and track general information about website usage. Cookies do not identify the individual user, just the computer used.
Cookies and other similar technology can make it easier for you to use the website during future visits. Cookies only record which areas of the website a computer in question has visited, and for how long. This information allows the 2050 Pathways Platform to understand how our website is being used so we can assess how well it is working and help us make decisions about how to improve it.
These cookies do not give us access to the rest of your computer, and we will not use them to track your online activity once you leave our website. Cookies are read only by the server that places them and is unable to execute any code or virus.
There are two types of cookies, session and persistent. Session cookies last only as long as your web browser is open. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for longer periods of time. The 2050 Pathways Platform uses session and persistence cookies. However, at no time is your Personal Data, whether stored in persistent cookies or elsewhere, shared with third parties who have no right to that information.
If you do not wish to have cookies stored on your computer you can easily change your web browser to refuse them, or to let you know when you get a new cookie. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions. Refusing cookies, however, can restrict your use of the website. To enjoy the website fully, we recommend you leave cookies switched on.
Sharing of personal data with third parties
To satisfy our functional requirements, we may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties. Please be aware that when we use third-party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes.
- Service providers – We may engage with third-party service providers for the performance of certain data processing activities that the 2050 Pathways Platform does not perform itself. This category may include the likes of grants management software providers, IT providers, and survey providers amongst others.
- Funders – sometimes we may be obligated to report to or inform a funder about a grantee/consultant which may involve the sharing of personal data under our contractual obligations to them.
- Other – for legal reasons we may be obliged to share your personal data with others such as to comply with laws and regulations or to enforce our general terms and conditions.
How long do we keep your personal data
In general, we retain your personal data for the duration of our relationship with you, and for as long as necessary afterwards to comply with other legally required timeframes, such as tax legislation, or local laws.
