In order to organise its annual and mid-term events and to guarantee each individual’s participation in them, incl. identifying their participation preferences, the BIN@ network has collected and also needs to collect in the future the following personal data (contact information) – name, surname, e-mail address, company name, position (latter depending on the concrete registration form of the event), and country. BIN@ maintains this data in order to (1) inform the participants about upcoming event’s programme updates/changes and other related organisational practicalities, (2) to disseminate event’s results & outcomes (if applicable), (3) and also to share news about upcoming BIN@ activities for the purpose of upholding well-functioning partnership relations. Events requiring registration have been the following: BIN@FEUP 2010, BIN@SHEFFIELD 2011, BIN@PORTO 2012, BIN@BRAZIL 2013, BIN@SHEFFIELD 2014, BIN@Porto 2015, BIN@SP 2016, BIN@TARGOVISTE 2017, BIN@SHEFFIELD 2017, BIN@GLIWICE 2018, BIN@PORTO 2018, BIN@BRAZIL 2019, BIN@2020 (online) and BIN@PORTO 2021.
Through filling out the online registration form, the participants of BIN@ events (annual and mid-term) consent to pass the data inserted via this form to the Administrator of BIN@ (i.e. the lawfulness of the processing). BIN@ hereby also corroborates that neither your e-mail address nor the accompanying data, provided by you to the Administrator, has been nor will be shared with any third party. That is to say, the mentioned contact information is solely accessed and maintained by the Administrator of BIN@ network at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), Porto, Portugal.

BIN@ partner universities organising a BIN@ event outside the EU).
The mentioned personal data will be saved for as long as the BIN@ network is functioning in order to uphold effective partnership relations. As individual EU data subject in the territory of the latter, you also have the right to have an access to your personal data, transfer it, or have it removed, incl. the right to lodge a complaint at your national Data Protection Authority.
All BIN@ delegates who do not wish to be included in the network’s list of delegates after the concrete event they participated in has finished, and who thus do not wish to be informed about the upcoming activities of BIN@, should inform the network accordingly by sending a topical e-mail at feupbin@fe.up.pt (Administrator of BIN@ at FEUP) whereupon you will be removed from BIN@ network’s list of delegates.
