1. Introduction

The Future of Healthcare (FoH) project is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of visitors to its website.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored and protected when visitors access https://foh.erasmus.site/, subscribe to our newsletters or contact the project team.

Personal data is processed in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), where applicable, and relevant national data protection laws.

The data controller responsible for the operation of the Future of Healthcare (FoH) project website and the management of newsletter subscriber data is:

BOSEV manages the FoH website, newsletter subscription forms, subscriber mailing lists and related communications as part of its project dissemination responsibilities.

Website: https://foh.erasmus.site/

Requests concerning personal data will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

3. Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how visitors interact with the website, we may process the following categories of personal data:

Email addresses voluntarily submitted through newsletter subscription forms.
Names, where voluntarily provided through a form.
Preferred newsletter language, determined by the subscription form selected.
Subscription status and records of subscription confirmation or withdrawal.
Information voluntarily provided when contacting the project team.
Limited technical information necessary for website operation, security and subscription management.

We do not request sensitive personal data through newsletter subscription forms.

4. Purposes and Legal Basis of Processing

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

Newsletter subscriptions: To send information about FoH project activities, research findings, educational resources, events, publications and project results. Newsletter subscriptions are based on the subscriber’s consent.

Subscription management: To record subscription preferences, verify email addresses, manage mailing lists and process unsubscribe requests.

Communication: To respond to inquiries submitted voluntarily by website visitors.

Website operation and security: To maintain the website, protect it against misuse and ensure its technical functionality, where justified under applicable data protection law.

Newsletter subscription is voluntary. Visitors may browse the website without subscribing.

5. Newsletter Subscription and Email Confirmation

The FoH website uses MailPoet, a WordPress newsletter management service, to manage subscriptions and distribute newsletters.

When a visitor submits a newsletter subscription form, the email address is recorded for subscription management purposes.

Where email confirmation is enabled, a confirmation message is sent to the address provided. The subscription becomes active after the recipient confirms their email address.

The website maintains separate newsletter lists for English, Turkish, Italian, Polish and Czech to support communication in the subscriber’s preferred language.

Subscribers may withdraw their consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in newsletter emails.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. Data Sharing and Service Providers

Personal data may be processed by authorised project personnel and service providers involved in website hosting, newsletter administration, email delivery and technical maintenance.

MailPoet and its email delivery infrastructure may process subscriber information on behalf of the relevant data controller for newsletter management and delivery.

Personal data is not sold to advertisers.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be applied as required by applicable data protection legislation.

7. Data Retention

Newsletter subscribers’ personal data will be retained for as long as their subscription remains active and the data is necessary for FoH project communications.

Subscribers may withdraw their consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link provided in newsletter emails.

Following unsubscription, personal data will be removed from active mailing lists or otherwise excluded from further newsletter communications. Limited records may be retained where necessary to demonstrate compliance with legal obligations, document consent or withdrawal, or prevent unwanted communications.

Personal data collected for other purposes will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil those purposes and applicable legal requirements.

The completion of the FoH project will not automatically authorise the use of subscriber data for unrelated activities. Any further processing will require an appropriate legal basis and, where necessary, renewed consent.

8. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure or misuse.

Access to subscriber information is restricted to authorised personnel responsible for project communications and website administration.

No online service can guarantee absolute security; however, appropriate precautions are taken to reduce foreseeable risks.

Subject to applicable law, individuals may have the right to:

Request access to their personal data.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of their personal data.
Request restriction of certain processing activities.
