Reports containing personal data will be archived according to the relevant Commission legal framework.


6. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR DATA?
All personal data in electronic format are stored on the servers of the Consortium providing the training and helpdesk services and its service providers (Docebo SPA and

Technical measures include appropriate actions to address online security, risk of data loss, alteration of data or unauthorised access, taking into consideration the risk presented by the processing and the nature of the personal data being processed. Organisational measures include restricting access to the personal data solely to authorised persons with a legitimate need to know for the purposes of this processing operation.

Other participants in the training events do not have access to the personal data you have disclosed.
