Welcome to MODALSHIFT website, and thank you for your interest. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and kindly ask you to read the following information.

- Legal obligation: when we have to process personal data to meet a legal obligation we may have
- Legitimate interests: when it is necessary for us to communicate to the public the project’s outcomes and to enhance our research quality.
How do we store your data?
Since MODALSHIFT is a consortium consisting of 17 partners, your data will be securely stored in the responsible partner’s premises, where the appropriate technical and organisational measures have been taken to ensure the protection of data. All partners act according to the Data Management Plan that has been laid out at the beginning of the project, meaning that we have secure servers that are password protected for the storage of your data and access is granted only to people who are directly involved in MODALSHIFT. Additionally, security and anti-virus software is installed and frequently updated on our servers. Please note that the transmission of data cannot be 100% secure; however, we do our best to protect your data to the highest extent.
Do we share your data with third parties?
Yes, we may occasionally share your personal data with trusted third parties that help us operate efficiently; for example, cloud-based software, HR and accounting services within the consortium, law enforcement or governmental agencies, the European Commission.
For how long do we keep your personal data?
As MODALSHIFT is a HORIZON EUROPE funded project, we are obliged to store data for up to 10 years after the end of the project (unless an extension is requested by auditors). When this happens, the collected data are being treated in compliance with Regulation No. 45/2001. After this time period and given the fact that no other legitimate reasons for further storage arise, we will delete your personal data.
What are your data protection rights?
MODALSHIFT project would like to make sure that you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following rights:
Right of access: You may demand information about the data we are processing. You may make this demand at any time and in any form. If you do, we will inform you in writing about which data concerning you we have stored, what we will use the data for, the categories of recipients to which they are forwarded, and how we intend to store them.
Right to erasure: You may demand that your data, which we are processing, be erased. You may make this demand at any time and in any form. We will comply with this request if we no longer need your data for the purpose for which they were collected, you withdraw a consent you had previously granted, the data processing is illegal, or we must erase your data to comply with a statutory obligation.
Right to rectification: If we are erroneously processing incorrect or incomplete data about you, we will obviously rectify this. Just send us a request that this be done, in any form you choose.
Right to restriction of processing: If your data cannot be erased, or if you do not want them erased but also do not want them processed beyond storing them, we will be obligated at your request to restrict the further processing of your personal data.
Right to data portability: We will provide the data about you we are storing, which we received based on a contract or your consent, in a commonly used file format at your request (regardless of form). You can use these data for your own purposes and forward them to future contracting partners. We will also directly transmit your data to an addressee named by you, provided you wish this to be done and it is technically feasible. In this case, we will inform you once the transmission has been completed successfully.
Right to object: In certain cases, the General Data Protection Regulation also entitles you to object to the further processing of your data. Since we are not processing any data at the moment in a way that would give you the right to object, at this point we refer you to the right of erasure or the right to restriction of processing (see above).
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us by email: planeat.project@euroquality.fr
