We may ask you to provide evidence of the legal grounds for sharing personal data about others.
We may use the information we receive or collect from you in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and this privacy notice for the following purposes and based on the following legal basis:
CEPI may, on a case-by-case basis, rely on other legal grounds, such as the protection of individuals vital interests, in accordance with applicable data protection law, as set forth in an applicable privacy notice.
We may share your personal data with our employees and affiliates (CEPI entities) who have a business need to know, our services providers (including consultants, contractors, vendors, and out-sourced service providers) to process it for us based on our instructions, and with partners that are collaborating with us to fund projects. We do not share your personal data with third-parties (including our service providers) for marketing purposes. Our affiliated companies will process your personal data to respond to your request and when doing so they will act as data controller for the processing conducted by them.
Third-party service providers are only authorised to use your personal data as necessary to provide its services to us. CEPI entities and third-party service providers may be located within or outside the EU/EEA.
We may also share personal data with government agencies or authorities, or other third-parties if and to the extent required by applicable law.

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to and processed by a third-party service provider established in a country outside the EU/EEA (i.e. a so-called third country), including countries which the EU Commission does not consider having an adequate level of protection for personal data. In such case we will take all necessary steps required under applicable law in order for such transfer of your personal data across borders to be compliant with applicable law. We will only transfer your personal data to a country outside the EU/EEA where; (i) the EU Commission has decided that the third country ensures an adequate level of protection, or (ii) where the transfer is being safeguarded by the use of EU model clauses in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or where the recipient is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield Framework.
CEPI maintains appropriate technical and organisational measures in order to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access and any other unlawful forms of processing. CEPI also takes appropriate legal, technical and organisational measures to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and with an adequate level of protection when transferred to or shared with the above referred to third parties.
Whilst we take technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal data that you provide to us, no transmission over the Internet can ever be guaranteed secure. Consequently, please note that we cannot guarantee the security of any personal data that you transfer over the Internet to us.
We will keep your personal data as long as necessary for us to respond to your request or forward your request to the relevant individual, or until it is no longer needed to fulfil the purpose(s) for which it was collected or as otherwise required or permitted by law. After such time, we will either delete or anonymize your personal data or, if this is not possible, we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible. We may dispose of any data in our discretion without notice, subject to applicable law, or in accordance with a specific data processing agreement governing our processing of the personal data. Please contact us if you would like more details regarding our retention periods for different categories of personal data.
