Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 January 2026

 

This Privacy Notice explains how Generation Europe (“Generation Europe”, “we”, “us”) processes personal data when you visit our website or contact us.

Generation Europe is currently an informal group of individuals operating under the name “Generation Europe”. Until a formal legal structure is established, this Notice applies to processing carried out under that name and managed by the individuals responsible for the website and communication channels.

 

1) Data Controller (who is responsible)

Data Controller: Generation Europe (informal group of individuals)
Contact email: info@generationeurope.eu

If you require a postal contact for formal correspondence, please email us and we will provide the appropriate details.

 

2) What personal data we process

A. Data you provide to us (email contact)

If you contact us at info@generationeurope.eu, we will process the personal data you provide, such as:

  • your email address;

  • your name (if included);

  • the content of your message and any attachments;

  • any other personal data you choose to share.

B. Data processed automatically when you visit the website (technical data)

When you access our website, our systems and/or our website platform provider (Wix) typically process technical data (“server logs”), such as:

  • IP address;

  • date and time of access;

  • pages requested and request details;

  • browser/device information (user agent);

  • referrer URL (where available);

  • error logs and security-related events.

This information is generally necessary to operate, secure, and maintain the website.

C. Links to third-party websites (social media)

Our website contains links to third-party platforms (e.g., social media). When you click a link, you leave our website and the third party processes your personal data under its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing those policies.

 

3) Why we process personal data (purposes)

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  1. Website operation and security
    To deliver the website, ensure stability, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues.

  2. Responding to enquiries
    To read and reply to messages sent to info@generationeurope.eu, and to manage related correspondence.

  3. Protection of rights and handling disputes
    To prevent fraud or misuse, manage security incidents, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims where necessary.

 

4) Legal bases (GDPR)

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR)
    for operating and securing the website, preventing abuse, and ensuring IT stability.

  • Taking steps at your request / responding to your request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR)
    when you contact us and we process your data to respond and follow up.

  • Compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR)
    where applicable (e.g., if we must retain certain records).

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we seek to balance those interests against your rights and expectations.

 

5) Cookies and similar technologies

Our website is built on Wix, which may use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions (e.g., security, load balancing, basic performance and site features).

We do not intentionally use cookies for advertising or behavioural profiling on this website. If we introduce non-essential tracking (e.g., analytics requiring consent, marketing pixels, embedded social widgets that track users), we will update this Notice and, where required, implement a consent mechanism.

 

6) Who we share personal data with (recipients)

We share personal data only where necessary for the purposes above, including with:

  1. Wix (website platform/hosting provider)
    Wix provides the website infrastructure and related services. In GDPR terms, Wix typically acts as a processor for website visitor data processed on our behalf, and may also act as an independent controller for certain processing in accordance with its own policies.

  2. Zoho Mail (email service provider)
    Zoho provides our email service. Zoho typically acts as a processor for messages and related data processed on our behalf, and may also process certain data as an independent controller for service administration and security according to its policies.

  3. Service providers assisting with IT/security (if ever necessary)
    For maintenance, troubleshooting, and incident response.

  4. Public authorities
    Only where required by law or where necessary to protect rights, safety, and security.

We do not sell personal data.

 

7) International data transfers

Because we use providers that may process data in multiple jurisdictions, personal data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as:

  • adequacy decisions (where applicable);

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and supplementary measures where required.

If you would like more information about the safeguards relevant to our specific configuration, please contact us at info@generationeurope.eu.

 

8) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above:

  • Website logs/technical data: retained for a limited period needed for security and troubleshooting (retention periods may depend on Wix and configuration).

  • Email correspondence: retained as long as necessary to respond to you and manage the relationship, and thereafter only as needed for record-keeping, security, or legal purposes.

  • Security incidents/legal claims: retained for as long as necessary to investigate incidents or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

You may request deletion of your email correspondence (see Section 10). We may retain minimal information where required for legal or security reasons.

 

9) Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to maintain protections appropriate to the risks.

 

10) Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law (including GDPR), you may have the right to:

  • access your personal data;

  • rectify inaccurate data;

  • erase your data in certain circumstances;

  • restrict processing;

  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;

  • data portability (where applicable);

  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise your rights, contact info@generationeurope.eu. We may request information necessary to verify your identity.

Right to complain

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (supervisory authority) in the EEA/UK, typically in the country of your habitual residence, workplace, or where you believe an infringement occurred.

 

11) Children

Our website is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

 

12) Third-party services and external links

Our website may link to third-party services (including social media platforms). We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of third parties. Please review their privacy policies before providing personal data.

 

13) Changes to this Privacy Notice

We may update this Notice from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when it was most recently revised. If changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to highlight them on the website.
