Some of these services are moderated; all may be accessed for technical reasons (for example, for improvements or fixes). EAI does not control the content that users post to or via these websites. You should carefully consider whether you wish to submit personal information to these websites and tailor any content you submit appropriately and in accordance with the relevant terms of use.

These third parties are restricted from using this data in any way other than to provide services for EAI or for the collaboration in which they and EAI are contractually engaged (for example, hosting an EAI database or engaging in data processing on EAI‘s behalf, or mailing you information that you requested). These third parties are carefully selected by EAI and obligated to keep your data secure.
To protect EAI content and services. We may use your information to prevent potentially illegal activities and to enforce our terms and conditions.

You can control the information we have about you and how we use it in several ways.
EAI does not knowingly collect data from or about children under 16 without the permission of parent(s)/guardian(s). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under age 16, please contact us.
EAI may update its Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email if you have an EAI Account, or by means of a notice on this website prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
EAI automatically records the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors. The IP address is a unique number assigned to every computer on the internet. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the internet (it is a “dynamic” address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, the IP address that we collect may contain information that could be deemed identifiable. This is because, with some broadband connections, your IP address doesn’t change (it is “static”) and could be associated with your personal computer.
As well as recording the IP addresses of users, EAI may also keep track of sites that users visited immediately prior to visiting EAI website and the search terms they used to find it. We keep track of the pages visited on EAI‘s website, the amount of time spent on those pages and the types of searches done on them. Your searches remain confidential and anonymous. EAI uses this information only for statistical purposes to find out which pages users find most useful and to improve the website.
EAI also captures and stores information that you transmit. This may include:
Some of EAI‘s websites link to other sites created and maintained by other public- and/or private-sector organizations. EAI provides these links solely for your information and convenience. When you transfer to an outside website, you are leaving the EAI domain, and EAI‘s information management policies no longer apply. EAI encourages you to read the privacy statement of each external website that you visit before you provide any personal data.
Cookies and web beacons are electronic placeholders that are placed on your device by websites to track your individual movements on that website over time. EAI uses both session-based cookies (which last only for the duration of the user’s session) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device and provides information about the session you are in and waits for the next time you use that site again).
These cookies and web beacons provide useful information to EAI, enabling us to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user’s access to and use of our sites, allows us to track usage behavior, and to balance the usage of our websites on all EAI web servers.
Tracking cookies, third-party cookies, and other technologies such as web beacons may be used to process additional information, enable non-core functionalities on the EAI website and enable third-party functions (such as a social media “share” link). We may also include web beacons and other similar technology in promotional email messages to determine whether the messages have been opened.
The online advertising industry has self-regulatory initiatives designed to provide consumers a choice in the types of ads they may see online and to conveniently opt-out from online behavioral ads served by some or all of the companies participating in these programs. Our websites do not respond to DNT consumer browser settings.
EAI has appointed and mandated a privacy officer who represents the regulatory authorities inside the EAI organization, and in return represents the EAI organization to regulatory authorities.
The EAI privacy officer will ensure proper communication with the relevant regulatory authority for privacy. The privacy officer will lead investigative action, complaint handling and data breach notification. The privacy officer will also monitor regulatory changes and consult the regulatory authority where implementation of a regulatory or technological change leads to doubt.
As a global organization, EAI engages in a number of international activities. In connection with the management of those activities, EAI may transfer information to other countries. By submitting your information to EAI via the websites, or in connection with your interactions with EAI offline, you consent to such transfers and to the processing of this information in other countries.
EAI reserves the right to share your information to respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities or where required by law.
In the event of bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. The promises in this privacy policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation EU 2016/679) (also known as GDPR), if you are an individual protected by the GDPR you may have certain rights as a data subject. To request information about or avail yourself of those rights, please send an email to privacy@eai.eu with “GDPR Request” in the subject line. In the email please describe, with specificity, the GDPR right you are requesting assistance with. Please note additional information may be requested prior to initiation of a request and that EAI reserves the right to charge a fee with respect to certain requests. Upon EAI‘s completion of its review you will be notified if your request has been granted, denied, or exemptions apply.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or about the use of your personal information, please feel free to contact us by email at privacy@eai.eu.
