This information is used by the NCP Flanders team, solely for communications on Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020 and the other EU subsidy programmes we cover. Most of our communications are e-mail notifications.These notifications are sent on content (news, events) updates on the programmes you follow. Occasionally we send out extra newsletters.

Under no circumstances your information is sold (nor traded, exchanged, ...) to other organisations external to NCP Flanders (and it's founding partners VLAIO and FWO, where the NCP Flanders staff is employed).
We do not use Google Analytics (or similar) tools that invade your privacy (e.g. by following a user). So you can safefully visit our pages without having to fear that someone can track down exactly how long you spent on what page.
We do use Fathom Analytics (affiliated link), which is a privacy-first analytics tool that keeps track of which pages are visited, but it doesn't link it to user profiles. This way we know what sections are popular (and which ones need to be improved), without the need of profiling you(r behaviour).

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority or to request us to transfer this data. The possibilities of exercising these rights shall apply in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
You may also request to delete you account at any time.

The Department of Economy, Science and Innovation of the Flemish government coordinates the Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action SAPHIRe, which started on 1 December 2018. The aim of the project is to secure the adoption of personalised medicine in all European regions, including sparsely populated and remote regions and regions with different innovation capacities.
The activities of SAPHIRe are complementary to the smart specialisation partnership on personalised medicine – S3P4PM, which is also coordinated by the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation.
