Who we are
The INTERSTORES project prioritises safeguarding your privacy and is actively working on advancing technology to provide you with the utmost secure and empowering online experience. This Privacy Statement pertains to the official website of the INTERSTORES Horizon Europe project (Grant Agreement No 101136100) and governs the collection and utilisation of data. The responsibility for the website lies with the INTERSTORES Consortium, which focuses on sharing and exchanging information regarding the project’s research and its results. By using the INTERSTORES project’s website, you agree to abide by the data practices outlined in this statement.
Policy Scope
This Privacy Policy is applicable to the INTERSTORES project, regardless of the device used to access it, such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, TVs, or other devices.
Collection and Usage of Personal Data
Unless specifically mentioned in the relevant sections of the website, the personal data collected from the usage of our website is processed as follows:
Email Communication
When you choose to communicate with us via email, we request your name and mailing address. Please note that providing this information is essential for us to respond to your message personally. The only required data for this purpose is your name and mailing address. The legal basis for processing this personal data is Article 6(1)(b) of GDPR, as it is necessary to address requests from the concerned parties.
Social Media
Certain web pages on our website may utilise social plug-ins from external organisations (e.g., X’s repost function). These organisations may receive and use personal data regarding your visit to our website or apps. If you browse our website or view content on our apps, the information they collect may be associated with your account on their respective platforms. For more details on how these organisations handle personal data, please refer to their privacy policies.
Site Visitation Tracking
We employ Google Analytics (GA) to track user interactions and gather statistical insights. This data helps us understand the number of website users, their browsing patterns, and their overall journey through our website. Although GA records data such as geographical location, device, internet browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. Your computer’s IP address is anonymised by GA services and cannot be used to personally identify you. We consider Google as a third party. GA employs cookies, which are further described in Google’s developer guides. Please note that disabling cookies in your internet browser will prevent GA from tracking your visit to our website.
Storage of Personal Data
If you provide your contact details through the preferred email message, we only store your name and email address. Your contact details will not be shared with any third parties and will be securely stored by INTERSTORES, accessible only to authorised personnel. Currently, this website only stores personal data in this specific case. We utilise state-of-the-art technology and implement various safeguards to protect your personal data from misuse or unauthorised processing. These safeguards include restricting access to authorised individuals, isolating IT systems used for data processing, and continuously monitoring system access to prevent misuse.
Retention Period of Personal Data
We retain your personal information for as long as it remains relevant and useful for its original intended purpose or as required by applicable laws.
Cookies and Third-Party Cookies

You have the right to configure your browser to notify you before accepting cookies or to refuse them, although doing so may limit access to certain features of the website. Consult your browser’s help section for instructions on managing your cookie preferences. It’s important to note that many parts of the website can be accessed and navigated without enabling cookies. If you use multiple computers in different locations, ensure that each browser is adjusted to accommodate your cookie preferences.

Specify the information to which your request relates.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Time Limits for Compliance with Data Subject Rights
We strive to fulfil all requests within 30 days. However, depending on the specific right or complexity of the request, this period may be extended.
Complaints Procedure
We aim to address any queries or concerns you may have about our use of your data. If you believe that we have not adequately responded to your complaints or concerns, you have the right, under the General Data Protection Regulation, to lodge a complaint with your local data protection or supervisory authority in the European Union or European Economic Area.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
This privacy policy may be updated periodically to comply with legislative requirements or industry developments. We will not explicitly notify our stakeholders or website users of these changes. Therefore, we recommend checking this page occasionally for any policy updates.
