a) Questionnaire (via Google Forms). If you choose to participate in the programme’s questionnaire, which is conducted via the Google Forms service, we collect your responses, namely: whether you have previously seen the visual identity of the programme and from which activity, your country of residence, age group, gender, educational level, professional category, and your answers to the knowledge/evaluation questions. The questionnaire does not request your full name, email address, or any other direct identifiers.
b) Communication via contact form or email. If you contact us via the website’s contact form or by email, we process the personal data you provide in the context of your communication, such as, indicatively, your full name, email address, and the content of your message.

3. Purpose of processing
The collected data is used exclusively for: (a) evaluating the programme and measuring the awareness of the communication campaign (through your voluntary participation in the questionnaire), (b) responding to communication requests you send us, and (c) ensuring the smooth operation, security, and statistical traffic analysis of the website. The processing is based on your consent (which is voluntary) and on our legitimate interest in ensuring the proper functioning of the website.

Questionnaire responses are retained until the completion of the programme’s evaluation and for up to 5 years following the final payment of the programme, after which they are deleted.
