Preamble

Data protection is a priority for the ELDA Team.

We make our best efforts to ensure that our processing of your personal data complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, hereinafter: GDPR) and with specific regulations applicable in France.

The purpose of this page is to provide you with information regarding the processing of your personal data for the purposes of our Newsletters.

II.    What Data Do We Process to Send Our Newsletters and How We Collect Them

The only piece of personal information related to you that we process to send our newsletters is your e-mail address.
The e-mail addresses we use to send our newsletters can be obtained in several ways:

  • either in the registration process, when you register to one of the events that we organize on a regular basis, including the LREC conference;
  • or when you contact us via e-mail to request information about our services and resources;
  • or when you meet a member of our team in professional context and personally communicate to him or her your e-mail address (e.g. by exchange of business cards).


We interpret such behavior as an expression of interest in our activities, and therefore include your e-mail address on our newsletter lists.

III.    Why Do We Process Your Data?

We send our newsletters (which involves processing of your personal data) regularly in order to keep you informed about new language resources available in our catalogue, recent progress in our projects, the many events we organize and co-organize, and other developments you (as a member of the language resources community) may find interesting.

IV.    Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the basis of art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, i.e. with your consent for the specific processing purpose. Your consent for the processing of your e-mail address is express or implied from your behavior (one of the actions listed in section II of this document).
In special circumstances, we may process your personal data on the basis of art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR; in such rare cases, our legitimate interest in carrying out the processing is to provide a better service to all members of the language resources community.

V.    Data Storage Period

We will store your e-mail address for as long as we keep sending newsletters. However, you are free to ask us to erase your e-mail address from our lists at any moment. In such a case, your e-mail address will be deleted within a reasonable period of time.

VI.    No Transfer

The list of e-mail addresses that we send our newsletters to is stored on our servers in Paris, France.

We will never sell, rent or lease any personal data as defined in Section 2 of this Privacy Policy.

However we may share collected information with MailerLite to assist us in providing you our newsletter services.
