Victim Support Europe (we or us) is the leading European umbrella organisation advocating on behalf of all victims of crime. We process personal data in compliance with the GDPR. We strongly believe that data subjects have the right to control the use of their personal information, and that their privacy must be respected. This privacy and cookie policy is made as a part of information obligation under GDPR. We reserve the right to modify our Privacy Policy, which will be uploaded to our website. We advise you to review it to check any material changes.
We limit the processing of personal data to the strictly necessary. Your personal data is processed for specific purposes, which may very depend on the nature or type of interactions you have on the Victim Support Hub.
We only process personal data when we have a legal basis for doing so. For example, we collect personal data through the creation of your member profile with your consent. As you use the website, technical data will be collected by cookies, which you can enable or disable (see section on cookies). The processing of exact sets of data will depend on individual cases. For example, if a data subject contacts us by e-mail or through our contact form, the e-mail address and the full name, will be stored by our server.
Examples of data we may collect:
The personal data collected will be stored in secure servers which are operated by trusted service providers (Microsoft, Google, WordPress). These trusted service providers will also administer our incoming and outgoing messages on the VSE Hub. We use reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical security measures to safeguard personal information in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorised use or modification. For example, we ensure that the data is encrypted both in transit and during storage.
Transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Please note that any unencrypted e-mails sent to us are not protected against unauthorised access during transmission. However, once we receive information from data subjects, we use procedures and security features to prevent any unauthorised access.
Data subjects have the right to access, request a copy of their personal information, erasure, restriction of processing, the right to file objections to processing and the right to data portability. Data subjects have also the right to request any inaccuracies in their personal information be corrected. Data subjects have the right to revoke their consent to data processing at any time.
If a data subject objects to data processing, we cease processing the personal data unless we have a compelling legitimate interest to process personal data that would outweigh the interests or rights of the data subject.
We ensure that your personal data will not be kept for longer than necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and to allow us to comply with our legal requirements.
After the period of data retention, limited personal data can be pseudonymised and retained for the statistical purposes. The remaining personal data collected will be erased.
We do not share or disclose personal data to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so, or a data subject consents to such data transfer. Our authorised third-party service providers and partners will only receive personal data of data subjects, if this is necessary for delivery of our work output or for execution of any kind of relationship with data subjects.
Any such third-party service provider engaged by us is expected to fully comply with the requirements of the GDPR and this Privacy Policy.
Please find a list of third-parties’ services providers that may process your data depending on your utilisation of the VSE Hub here:
