Specific Privacy Statement : A.C.S.E.S.O

Erasmus + Programme: data stored and processed regarding the specific project.

What is the purpose of the data collection?

The European Commission and A.C.S.E.S.O need to follow-up the results of the projects in order to be able to assess the total outcome of the mobility actions. The projects need to report relevant data on the flows to the National Agencies. The National Agencies collect these data and make a succinct report to the European Commission. The data cover financial elements (grants, payments, etc.) as well as statistical elements (numbers, countries, sectors etc.) In order to simplify the reporting chain, the European Commission launched the on-line Mobility Tool which allows a single entry system for the different data and the necessary extraction of reports when needed.

Besides the quantitative data collection, the tool has a second part used for collecting the final reports (questionnaires) of the individual participants. Most of the questions are closed questions which offer the possibility to get a general overview of the answers (in a scale from 1 to 5) and to assess the general perception of the programme by the users. The participants are reminded not to provide any reference/comment to/about any specific/identifiable person when completing in the free text fields of their questionnaire.

What personal data do we collect to enter in the Mobility Tool?

• Information about participating organisation contact persons (Title, First Name, Last Name, Gender, Department, Position, Phone numbers, Email, Legal Address, Postal Code, City, Country, Region and Fax)
• Information about National Agency and Commission administrators (Title, First name, Family, name, E-mail address, Department, Position).
• Information about the person who applies for a mobility individual grant (Title, First name, Family name, Date of Birth, Gender (m/f), Telephone, E-mail address, Street, number, Postcode, City, Region and Country, Nationality).
• Information regarding special needs (yes/no) of the individual applicant is collected when it could have repercussion on the arrangements that are necessary to enable the applicant to take part in the project or in the amount of the grant.

Which technical means do we use for processing your data?

The data collection and processing is done using Google Drive. The data is stored in a secure cloud drive "Google Drive").

Who has access to your information and to whom is it disclosed?

How long do we keep your data?

Personal data should stay in the system during the lifetime of the programme and the reporting for projects linked to this. Data will have to be kept for five years after the final reporting in order to be able to trace the participants in case of ex-post problems or audits or evaluations.

How can you access your personal data, verify its accuracy and, if necessary, correct it?
