What data do we collect?

We collect limited personal data for the purpose of sharing project information with organisations and individuals who may be professionally interested in and benefit from the activities and results of SHAPE-ID. These include funders and policy makers at European, transnational and national level; other relevant European Commission agencies and units; research performing organisations such as universities and government or industry research centres; researchers and networks of researchers; research users in enterprise, civil society and the cultural sector. 

Individuals may provide their own data by subscribing to our mailing list using a form embedded in our website (https://www.shapeid.eu/contact). The following data is required to subscribe: title, first name, last name, email address, organisation, role, country, stakeholder category. This data will be stored securely and privately and will only be used to contact subscribers.

We will also compile and regularly update a Stakeholder Contact Database, listing organisations and groups we believe may be interested in the project. The following data will be collected for this purpose: organisation name, postal address, description of main activities, stakeholder category, contact person name and contact person email address. This data will be made publicly available through the SHAPE-ID website. Prior to being made public, all persons and organisations listed will be advised of this intention and will have the opportunity to be removed from this list.

How we collect your personal data

The data we collect from you will be used by the project only in accordance with the purposes outlined in this privacy notice. We will collect your data in the following manner:

  • We will collect data directly using a Mailchimp subscription form embedded in the SHAPE-ID website (https://www.shapeid.eu/contact).
  • We will collect data from third party sources by identifying organisations and groups that may be interested in the results of SHAPE-ID and manually collecting contact details from public websites.
  • SHAPE-ID project partners may identify and recommend organisations and groups that may be interested in the results of SHAPE-ID from their professional networks and their contact details will be collected from public websites or from partners using either email or a secure internal project site accessible only to project partners.
  • All data will be collected and stored electronically.

The purpose and legal basis for collecting your data

The data we collect about you will be used for the following purposes:

  1. If you have signed up to the SHAPE-ID mailing list, your data will only be used to send you email updates, including newsletters, about the project, and potentially invitations to participate in project events or activities;
  2. If your data has been collected by the project partners for the purposes of compiling the SHAPE-ID Stakeholder Contact Database, your data will be used to:
    1. send you email updates, including newsletters, about the project;
    2. populate a Stakeholder Contact Database that will be submitted to the European Commission as a contractual deliverable of the SHAPE-ID Project and thereafter made publicly available through the SHAPE-ID website.

SHAPE-ID will ensure that your data is processed fairly and lawfully in keeping with the principles of data protection. For the purposes outlined in this privacy notice your personal data will be processed on the basis of public interest (General Data Protection Regulations, Article 6, Section E, http://www.privacy-regulation.eu/en/article-6-lawfulness-of-processing-GDPR.htm):

“processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller”.

How we store and secure your data

Any data we collect from individuals through our mailing list subscription form will be stored confidentially and securely as required by the Trinity College Dublin University Information Security Policy. In keeping with the data protection principles, we will only store your data for as long as is necessary. For the purposes described here we will store your data for the duration of the project and for five years afterwards.

Data collected manually for the purpose of compiling the Stakeholder Contact Database will be shared during the collection process with project partners through the SHAPE-ID internal website, which is a secure SharePoint site hosted at Trinity College Dublin and accessible only to project partners. At least two weeks before this data is shared outside the project consortium, all stakeholders on this list will be contacted by email to advise that they have been added to this list and may unsubscribe. The data will be shared with the European Commission as a contractual project deliverable and once approved will be made available publicly on the web on the basis of public interest, as outlined above. This data will not be updated after the project ends and will continue to be available long term.

Details of third parties with whom we share personal data

SHAPE-ID will share your data with third parties where necessary for purposes of the processing outlined here. The project will share your data with the following third parties:

We use Mailchimp as our mailing list platform and all data will therefore be stored on Mailchimp servers. Mailchimp servers are based in the US but their practices comply with GDPR through their use of Privacy Shield. Learn more about Mailchimp’s privacy practices here.

We will not share data collected through the mailing list subscription form with any third parties except for the purpose of processing the data to enable email communication with subscribers.

When we share your data with the third parties outlined here the University will ensure that the data is only processed according to our specific instructions and that the same standards of confidentiality and security are maintained. Once the processing of the data is complete any third parties with whom data was shared will be required to return the data to the University save where they are required to retain it by law.
