How we handle personal data
In line with the legal framework for Interreg in the period 2021-2027, the Interreg NPA programme bodies are allowed to process personal data only where necessary for the purpose of carrying out their respective obligations under European Regulations (CPR Reg (EU) 2021/1060 CPR, Interreg Reg (EU) 2021/1059), in particular for monitoring, reporting, communication, publication, evaluation, financial management, verifications and audits and, where applicable, for determining the eligibility of participants. The personal data shall be processed in accordance with GDPR, i.e. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (40), whichever is applicable.
A Privacy Policy statement[1] informs individuals about the collection and use of personal data at relevant occasions throughout the programme lifetime, typically: user registration in Jems, use of the programme website, registration and participation in events online and in person.
Processing and protection of personal data at project level
Processing of personal data takes place also within the project between Lead Partners and Partners, as well as between partners and end users, e.g. for a project event, survey, or publication. For this reason, project beneficiary organisations should take the necessary measures so that project operations are carried out in respect of the GDPR regulation, as foreseen in the practice and rules of their organisations.
