Consent
Where you subscribe to the SWAN newsletter, we will generally rely on your consent to send you communications of this nature. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us or, where available, by using the unsubscribe function included in our communications.

Legitimate interests
Where appropriate, we may process personal data because it is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as responding to enquiries, administering our activities, maintaining the security of our website and communications, or managing our relationship with stakeholders.

Legal obligation
We may process personal data where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the ITTF Foundation is subject.

Contract
Where applicable, we may process personal data where this is necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps at an individual's request before entering into a contract.

6. Who receives your personal data?

Personal data collected through the SWAN website may be accessed by authorised personnel of the ITTF Foundation where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

Where necessary for the implementation and management of the SWAN Erasmus+ project, personal data may also be shared with authorised project partners, including KTG Research & Innovation.

Project partners receiving personal data are required to process that data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and only for legitimate purposes connected with the SWAN project.

We do not sell your personal data.
