Protection of personal data

The National Agency Erasmus+ for Education and Training respects the privacy of its users. Although you can view most of the Internet pages without providing any personal information, in some cases personal information is required to enable us to provide the online services you require.

This is done as follows:

• For each individual online service, the data controller shall determine the objectives and means of processing personal data and shall ensure that the online service concerned complies with the Data Protection Regulation.
• In each Community institution, a Data Protection Supervisor supervises the application of the Data Protection Regulation and advises those responsible for processing data in the performance of their duties (see Article 24 of the Regulation).
• In all Community institutions, the European Data Protection Supervisor acts as an independent supervisory authority (Articles 41 to 45 of the Regulation).

The internet pages often contain links to third party websites. Since these are not controlled by the National Agency Erasmus+ for Education and Training, you should check their data protection rules.

What is an online service?

An online service on Europass.pt is a tool provided on the Internet to improve communication between citizens and businesses and the Community institutions. The following types of online services are already available on europass-info.de and will be made available in the future:

1. information services that provide citizens, the media, businesses, administrations and other stakeholders with easy and effective access to information, thereby increasing transparency and understanding of the EU's objectives and activities. 2. interactive communication services designed to facilitate better contact between citizens, businesses, civil society and other stakeholders, thereby contributing to the development of the EU's objectives, activities and services

Europass Online Services - Declaration on the protection of personal data

We are committed to protecting your privacy when processing personal data.
When you visit our websites, our web server temporarily records the domain name or IP address of the requesting computer as well as the access date, the file request of the client (file name and URL), the HTTP response code and the website from which you are visiting us and the number of bytes transferred during the connection. The website uses cookies.
Personal data such as (your) name, (your) address, telephone number or e-mail address will not be collected unless you provide this information voluntarily. Some special offers and services on our website, such as contact form, require the disclosure of personal data. These data are used exclusively for the completion of the inquiry and/or order. If the shipment is carried out by a service provider, your address will only be forwarded to a third party for the purpose of shipping. Your personal data will not be stored or used for statistical purposes.

Online registration is required for the creation of the Europass Mobility. The personal data requested here will be stored in our internal project management system for the purpose of registration, passport creation and program execution. The data of the Europass applicants (not those of the actual Europass recipients) will be evaluated statistically.

If you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data, you can contact our data protection officer directly, who will also be at your disposal as a contact person in the event of requests for information, suggestions or complaints. If you would like data to be corrected or deleted, please also contact our data protection officer. The National Agency Erasmus+ for Education and Training undertakes to comply with the above-mentioned points on data protection as outlined.

Who has access to your information?

In certain cases, the data necessary for the creation of the Europass will be verified by staff of the selected issuing offices in order to ensure compliance with the EU guidelines for the issue of the Europass. Only authorised staff responsible for administering and maintaining the Europass programme have access to this data. The employees concerned are obliged to maintain confidentiality and secrecy.

How is your data stored and how can you check, change or delete it?

All data required for the creation of the Europass are stored in the database of our in-house project management system. As a registered applicant, you can log in at any time and change your own details and the details of the European Union created by you. If you are logged in for more than 15 minutes without any input or action, the system will automatically log you out and prompt you to log in again. In order to provide you with the Europass as a PDF document, the document is created on the Europass Server and then transferred to the client computer via the http protocol. The generated documents are automatically deleted from the server in cycles and are regenerated when you next request them. If you would like your data to be completely deleted, please send an e-mail to the following address: europass@erasmusmais.pt
