- the EU Funding Partners website;

It does not govern third-party websites linked from this website.
3. Personal data we collect
3.1 Consultation requests
When you submit a consultation request, we may collect:
- your name and contact details;
- company name, website, country, and your role;
- project stage and project description;
- the website language and source page; and
- information needed to prevent spam, fraud, or abuse.
Please do not submit sensitive, classified, privileged, export-controlled, or commercially critical information through the public form unless we have specifically asked for it and appropriate safeguards are in place.
3.2 Email and other communications
If you contact us or communicate with us about our services, we may process your contact details, employer or organisation, message contents, attachments, meeting information, and related correspondence.
3.3 Technical and security data
When you use the website, we and our service providers may process technical information such as:
- IP address;
- browser, device, and operating-system information;
- requested pages, referring page, and request times;
- approximate location derived from an IP address;
- error, diagnostic, and security logs; and
- information used to detect bots, spam, fraud, or threats.
3.4 Website measurement data
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics for privacy-focused, aggregate page and website-performance measurement. Cloudflare states that this service collects a minimum amount of timing and page-usage data and does not track individual visitors across websites. The website does not use Cloudflare Web Analytics for custom interaction events.
If you consent to Google Analytics, we may additionally collect information about how you use the website, including:
- pages viewed and navigation paths;
- website interactions and consultation-related events;
- page title, page URL, and website language;
- referral source;
- browser and device information;
- approximate location; and
- analytics identifiers.
We use website analytics to understand how visitors use the website and to measure the performance of our content and consultation journey. We do not currently use analytics data to create advertising audiences or retarget website visitors.
4. Why we use personal data
We process personal data to:
- receive and respond to consultation requests;
- assess whether our services are relevant to your organisation;
- arrange meetings and prepare proposals;
- enter into and perform consultancy agreements;
- manage prospective-client and client relationships;
- maintain appropriate business and communication records;
- operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website;
- prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- measure website usage and consultation performance where you have consented to analytics;
- comply with legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory obligations;
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and
- protect our rights, systems, users, and business.
5. Legal bases for processing
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following:
- Steps before entering into a contract: when you request information, a consultation, or a proposal.
- Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to provide agreed consultancy services.
- Legitimate interests: responding to business enquiries, operating and securing the website, preventing misuse, maintaining business records, managing professional relationships, and protecting legal rights.
- Consent: for optional analytics, cookies, similar technologies, and any marketing that requires consent.
- Legal obligations: where processing or retention is required by law.
- Legal claims: where information is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend a claim.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
6. Service providers and other recipients
We may share personal data with trusted service providers where this is necessary to operate the website, receive consultation requests, communicate with you, secure our systems, or measure website usage. These providers may include:
- website hosting, content-delivery, and security providers;
- website backend, database, and form-processing providers;
- email and communication providers;
- analytics providers, including privacy-focused aggregate website measurement and optional consent-based analytics;
- professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, and insurers.
We may also disclose personal data to courts, regulators, law-enforcement authorities, or other public bodies where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights.
7. International data transfers
EU Funding Partners is operated by a person or business established in Ukraine. Personal data relating to people in the European Economic Area may therefore be accessed or processed in Ukraine.
Some service providers may also process information outside the EEA. Where applicable law requires safeguards, we use an appropriate transfer mechanism, which may include:
- an adequacy decision;
- European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses;
- supplementary technical or organisational safeguards; or
- another transfer mechanism permitted by law.
You may contact us for further information about safeguards relevant to your personal data.
8. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy and for applicable legal, accounting, tax, security, and dispute-resolution requirements.
- Inactive consultation enquiries: retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry, maintain appropriate business records, and address possible follow-up questions or disputes.
- Active prospective-client records: retained for the duration of discussions and for a reasonable period afterwards where necessary for follow-up, record-keeping, legal claims, or compliance obligations.
- Client and contractual records: retained for the duration of the relationship and for any additional period required by applicable tax, accounting, contractual, and limitation rules.
- Email correspondence: retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the relationship, maintain appropriate records, respond to follow-up matters, or address disputes.
- Security and technical logs: retained for the period reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, fraud prevention, and incident investigation, subject to the retention settings and policies of the relevant infrastructure provider.
- Analytics information: retained according to the settings configured in our analytics service and deleted or aggregated when it is no longer reasonably necessary for website measurement and improvement.
When information is no longer required, we delete, anonymise, or restrict it, subject to legal and technical limitations.
9. Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or misuse. These may include encrypted connections, access controls, authentication, restricted administrative access, monitoring, and backups.
No internet-based system is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
10. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. The website may also use similar technologies, including local storage.
Some technologies are necessary to operate, secure, or remember your preferences on the website. Analytics cookies and full analytics measurement are used only after you give consent.
10.1 Consent preference
We store your analytics choice in your browser so that the website can remember whether analytics was accepted or rejected. This preference remains until you clear it or change your choice.
10.2 Cloudflare Web Analytics
Cloudflare Web Analytics measures aggregate page usage and web performance without setting analytics cookies or using local storage. It does not support the website's custom marketing-interaction events.
10.3 Google Analytics cookies
The Google tag loads with analytics and advertising storage denied. Before you consent, it may send limited cookieless signals to Google to communicate the denied consent state and support aggregated measurement. It does not set analytics cookies in this state.
If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may set cookies such as_ga and _ga_<container-id>. These cookies help distinguish visitors, maintain analytics sessions, and generate aggregated website-usage statistics. Their duration depends on the analytics configuration and browser controls and may be up to two years.
10.4 Managing your choice
When no analytics choice has been saved, the website displays a banner that allows you to accept or reject analytics. Rejecting analytics does not prevent access to the public website or consultation form.
You can change or withdraw your analytics consent at any time using the Cookie preferences button below. When consent is withdrawn, the website stops cookie-based and full analytics measurement, attempts to remove analytics cookies from the current website domain, and returns the Google tag to denied-storage mode. Limited cookieless signals may continue in that mode.
You can also delete cookies and local-storage values using your browser settings. Blocking all browser storage may affect some website preferences or functionality.
11. Your data-protection rights
Subject to applicable law and relevant exceptions, you may have the right to:
- request access to your personal data;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request deletion of personal data;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- receive certain information in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time;
- object to direct marketing; and
- lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.
These rights are not absolute. We may retain or continue processing information where permitted or required by law.
To exercise a right, contact contact@eufundingpartners.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
12. Automated decision-making
We do not use personal data collected through this website to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
13. Children
The website and our consultancy services are intended for businesses and professional users and are not directed to children.
14. Third-party links
The website may link to third-party websites. We do not control their processing, security, content, or privacy practices. Please review their privacy information before providing personal data.
15. Complaints
We encourage you to contact us first if you have concerns about our processing of personal data.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in the EU or EEA country where you live, work, or believe an infringement occurred.
16. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes to our website, processing activities, business structure, or legal obligations. The current version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
