The c4c Consortium is strongly committed to protecting your privacy. You can navigate the majority of the c4c Website without giving us any personal information about yourself. However, sometimes we need additional information about you in order to provide the information or services you are requesting.

The new data protection rules in the European Union (EU) known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force on May 25th, 2018.  Focused on data privacy, GDPR is the new EU legal framework for the protection of personal data. It includes several key changes to existing EU data protection law, including data breach notification, accountability and enhanced individual rights. GDPR affects all organizations and public bodies, wherever located, that handle data of persons in the EU.  Over the past few years, we have been preparing for this and are taking steps to ensure timely compliance with those rules.

To protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our practices in connection with information that we collect, use and disclose through activities that link to our service and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

By using the c4c Website you will provide Personal Information to us under the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Disclaimer (link).

With the term ‘c4c’, or ‘us’ or ‘we’, we refer to the Consortium of the c4c project, who is the data controller.

The term ‘Fondazione Penta ETS’ refers to the operator of this website and who acts as both data co-controller and data processor; its registered office is Corso Stati Uniti, 4 35127 Padova, Italy.

The term ‘you’ refers to the user or viewer of our website.
