Eurodesk Privacy Policy

Eurodesk will share your information in the following ways:

• Service providers. If you provide us with extra information that may be needed for finding a placement, job offer, training or accomodation in another country, we need to provide access to or share your information with partner organisations throughout Europe who give out services independently or on our behalf. They have access to perform these services but are prohibited from using your information for other purposes.
• Who processes information. Eurodesk has offices in 36 countries including non-EU member states (Iceland, Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine) with 38 co-ordinating offices and over 3000 relays (multipliers/partners). The responsibility for your information falls under the care of the office or the partner who first collected your information and all Eurodesk partners comply with the new GDPR rules and this Privacy notice. The information may be shared internally where it is stored in a closed system, conference or group not accessible to anyone who is not a Eurodesk member.
• Related entities. With your consent, the Eurodesk office or partner may share information that can be used to directly contact you with other or third party partners, such as non profit organisations, governmental organisations or companies that may be offering products or services or other opportunities that may be of interest to you.
• Protection By using the Eurodesk services, you acknowledge and agree that we may access, retain and disclose the information we collect and maintain about you if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, retention or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process (e.g. a subpoena or court order) or law; (b) enforce our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; and/or (e) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Eurodesk officers, multipliers and affiliates, its users and/or the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection, compliance with applicable law, and spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.
• Benefiting from our opportunities. If you decide to share your CV for a job offer or internship, your information will be accessible to the potential or direct employer and further shared with our network of partners, including, without limitation, details of your Profile and other information related to your work experience and goals.
• Aggregate/anonymous information. From time to time, Eurodesk may share aggregate/anonymous information about use of the Services, such as, but not limited to, publishing a report on usage trends or survey results, or other demographic information. The sharing of such data is unrestricted.
