2. What we collect

• When you apply: your name, email, organisation (optional), track of interest, and any motivation text you choose to provide.
• If you join a cohort: attendance, pre/post assessment scores, and certification details.
• We use a hidden anti-spam field on the form. We do not set tracking cookies on the application form.

3. Why we process it, and the legal basis

• To review your application and contact you — on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
• If you are accepted, to administer your training, assessments and certification, and to report aggregated, non-identifying results to our funder — on the basis of the performance of your participation and our legitimate interest in delivering and reporting the project (Art. 6(1)(b)/(f) GDPR).

You may withdraw your consent at any time; this does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.

4. Who has access (recipients)

• CSIN and our project partner AIISA — Armenian Institute of International and Security Affairs (Yerevan, Armenia), who co-deliver the training.
• Our hosting processor (Supabase), which stores the data on our behalf.
• We do not sell your data or use it for marketing.

5. International transfer

AIISA is located in Armenia, outside the European Economic Area, for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision. By submitting the form you consent to your data being shared with AIISA for the purposes described above, and we apply reasonable measures to protect it.

6. How long we keep it

Applications that do not proceed are deleted after recruitment for the relevant cohort concludes. Participant records are kept for the duration of the project and the period our funder requires for audit, then deleted or anonymised.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any right, email contact@caucasian.network. You may also lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority — Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych (UODO), uodo.gov.pl.
