Definitions – what we mean when we use certain words

Please take into account that you will not be able to change your username. You will be able to change all other details on your account except this. Your username will be visible to other Registered Users.

How you should use your Account

The FundingBox Platform is addressed to professionals, so it should be used only for professional purposes and in connection to your professional or business activity regarding the active open call;

You probably know it, but we remind you to choose a strong and secure password and not to disclose it to anyone.

• provide true and up-to-date information and personal data; the content you provide or distribute cannot be fraudulent, false, or misleading;
• comply with applicable laws and good practices;
• don’t undertake any activities that may abuse, harm, interfere with, or disrupt the functioning of the Platform and the use of the Platform in a manner inconvenient for FundingBox or other Users.

FundingBox’s obligations

FundingBox maintains the existing technical infrastructure of the Platform. While the platform currently focuses on a single service, we reserve the right to modify features or functionalities as necessary for maintenance or compliance.

If we make substantial changes to the existing service or stop offering it entirely, we’ll provide you with a reasonable advance notice.

Confidentiality and security of submitted applications 

All applications submitted within FundingBox platform and all the data included in those applications are stored within fundingbox.com cloud infrastructure; we use Amazon services to provide the highest security standards. 

Access to the application form is limited – only authorised, limited number of people can access it, they must be Registered Users. We store application data for compliance reasons for the time required by the Authority that entrusted us public money that we distribute (usually it is 5 years after project final payment).

Our obligations towards Funding Authorities

The grants distributed within FundingBox open calls are financed with public money, primarily from European Commission programmes. For the sake of clarity – FundingBox is not a European Commission agency nor its representative.

Because this is public money, we have to comply with specific reporting and compliance requirements. It means that in some cases we will have to provide the data included in the application form to such Funding Authorities or auditors representing a Funding Authority.

Unregistered Users

Unregistered Users can use some functionalities of the Platform and see some of its content. Before doing so, they should also read these General Terms of Services and Privacy Policy and comply with their content to the extent that they also apply to Unregistered Users.

Cookies

To learn more about how we process cookies and how we implement our Cookie Policy please check here.

What kind of data we collect and how we process them

Below you will find detailed information on how we process personal data every time you use our Enterprise Platform. To make it more transparent, we describe each process separately.

Registration – data necessary to set up the Contract

The first step is the conclusion of the Contract with FundingBox. It happens when you register on our Platform. To make a Contract, we must collect some basic information about you. When you register on the Platform and set up an Account, we ask for your name and surname, username, e-mail address and password.

Of course, you don’t have to provide those data, as having an Account on our Platform is voluntary, but without them you can’t set up an Account and enjoy the full range of FundingBox Services.

Setting up an Account

You have already registered. We have your basic data and Contract, you have an Account. Now you can set up your Account and personalise it. You can include information about your business activity, professional experience, interests, etc. You are free to choose if and which information you want to include on your profile and share with others. We never ask for sensitive information. You do not have to provide additional information; such information, of course, helps you to get more out of our Platform, but you decide whether to provide it and we respect your decision. You can delete such additional information at any time without removing your Account. You decide what and when you want to remove.

By using your Account, you are free to choose which Services you use and to what extent.

Activity on the Platform – information on what you do within the FundingBox Platform

FundingBox collects information about your activity within the Platform. 

Your activity on the Platform is recorded in system logs (a chronological record containing information about events and activities regarding the IT system used to provide services by FundingBox). We use that information to provide the best quality of our Services and constantly develop them. We use information about Users’ activity on the Platform for technical and administrative purposes – such as ensuring the security of the IT system and system management, as well as for analytical and statistical purposes.

Marketing and newsletter

We send newsletters regarding upcoming open calls, funding opportunities, webinars, training, and professional business opportunities, including information on third-party projects tailored to your interests. We may also share your contact information with business partners and clients for collaboration purposes, provided you have given your consent.

To provide relevant content, we analyze your location and interests, which may involve profiling to evaluate your preferences.

You can manage your notification preferences at any time via the Notification settings tab. Please note that if you have consented to marketing communications, we will continue to process your contact data for these purposes even if our service is closed or your account is deleted, until you withdraw your consent.

How we get the data

As a rule, we obtain data directly from you. Exceptionally, we can receive your data from a third party – for example if one of the Users invites you to join the Platform, we will get your e-mail address only.

You have the freedom to provide your data. As a rule, only obligatory data are provided during registration. Obligatory data are always marked. If you express consent for processing your data, providing the data is always voluntary.

Automated decisions

The decision to conclude a contract is completely automated (without human intervention) based on Article 22 of GDPR. It means that the process of registration and conclusion of the contract takes place automatically but during such a process we do not make any preliminary assessment whether to conclude a contract or not (e.g. verification of data in public authorities).

Other data operations made on the FundingBox Enterprise Platform are not automated decisions within the meaning of Article 22 of GDPR, which means that each process takes place with the participation of a human being, or has no legal effect or similarly significant effect on you.

Grounds for processing- justification for the processing of personal data

We process personal data only when we have grounds to do so (so called – lawful basis). Grounds for processing the data are precisely described in GDPR and we strictly follow those rules. Formally speaking, they are called “goals and grounds”. They are divided into three groups:

• contract – where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, to deliver the services you have requested,
• consent – if you have given consent for such processing,
• “legitimate interests of the controller” – described in art. 6. 1 (f) of GDPR, and
• complying with the legal obligations e.g., concerning taxes, our obligations towards Funding Authorities, described in art. 6.1( c) of GDPR.

If you post on the Enterprise Platform any personal data of other people (including their name, address, telephone number or e-mail address), you may do so only if you do not violate the applicable law and personal rights of such persons.

The detailed principles and purposes of processing personal data are described below.

Performance of the contract

This happens when personal data are processed to conclude and perform the Contract (you conclude a contract for the provision of electronic services when you register on the Platform, and we perform it providing the Services). Legal grounds for this is Article 6.1 (b) of GDPR.

Contract performance includes processing connected with:

• registration and confirmation of the Account (conclusion of the Contract);
• using the Account on the website and/or mobile app;
• browsing the site’s pages as a Registered User (including User profiles and contributions);
• conducting conversations, groups, communities;
• making entries;
• taking part in open calls;
• inviting other Users;
• deleting the Account and Contract termination.

Consents

This happens when you give us your consent to process your data. If the processing of personal data is performed based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. The withdrawal of the consent does not affect the legitimacy of the processing performed on the basis of the consent prior to its withdrawal. The consent may be given only by an adult with full legal capacity. The consent is always voluntary.

We collect separate consent for each activity (if necessary). The above list is for information only.

You can withdraw your consent at any time via e-mail privacy@fundingbox.com, or (if you are a Registered User) on your Account in the Notification settings tab.

After you withdraw the consent, your personal data will no longer be processed and they will be deleted or anonymised, except for the scope necessary for documenting the proper performance of our obligations related to data processing (e.g. proper documentation of consent withdrawal) and to defend against claims (Article 6.1(f) of GDPR).

Legitimate interest of FundingBox

This happens when FundingBox needs to process your personal data in order to carry out tasks related to our business activities. The processing of personal data in that context may not necessarily be justified by a legal obligation or carried out to execute the terms of a contract with you. In such cases, processing of personal data is justified on grounds of legitimate interest and covers the following cases:

• ensuring safety, improving quality, removing errors, as well as monitoring the service provided electronically (Article 6.1 (f) of GDPR);
• pursuing or defending against claims (Article 6.1 (f) of GDPR), when such claims arise in connection with the provision of the Service;
• sharing data with the entities belonging to the FundingBox capital group in connection with administrative, accounting and project execution purposes;
• sharing your user name with the Open Call Organiser;
• processing of the data of the persons invited to the Platform but not registered (Article 6.1 (f) of GDPR);
• Sending newsletter (Article 6.1 (f) of GDPR);
• sending legal information via e-mail including changes in privacy rules (Article 6.1 (f) of GDPR).

We ensure that the pursuit of our legitimate interests does not seriously affect your rights and freedoms.

Who has access to your personal data

We strictly limit with whom we share your personal data and who can access them. 

We don’t share your data with anyone outside FundingBox Accelerator, with the exception of:

• operations that are necessary to provide you with the Services and keep the Platform working – external hosting providers, IT service providers, tools that help us manage newsletters, tools we use for analytics, entities belonging to the FundingBox capital group, 
• Our business partners and Clients who may want to contact you to offer you cooperation (if you have consented to sharing your data with them).

Within FundingBox, only authorised persons can access your data, following our internal procedures. We strictly limit access to the data collected through the Platform to the authorised individuals within our organisation (e.g. employees), acting under the instructions, who need access to the data to execute their work.

We may share your data with our business partners if you agree to such disclosure.

Servers location and data transfer outside the EU

Our servers are located in the EU. We use only trusted service providers who are obliged to comply with the GDPR rules.

For some functionalities and processes we use the services of providers such as Google, Sendgrid, Mixpanel, HubSpot. You can find more information under the link.

How long your data will be processed

General information

The period of data processing by FundingBox depends on the type of service provided and the purpose of the processing.

As a rule, the data connected to your Account are processed as long as your Account is active or until your consent is withdrawn, or an effective statement of opposition to the data processing is filed.

If you decide to close your Account, your personal data will stop being visible to others on our Platform within 7 days, and we generally delete information within 30 days of closure. However, we may retain your personal data after account closure if reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations (such as H2020 or Horizon Europe projects), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, protect our rights, prevent fraud and abuse, or implement co-financing agreements for the required period (usually 6 years).

• comply with FundingBox’s legal obligations (such as execution of H2020, Horizon Europe, DIGITAL projects, execution of obligations towards third parties etc.);
• meet regulatory requirements;
• resolve disputes or protect our rights;
• prevent fraud and abuse;
• complete/execute a User’s Contract;
• implement agreements for co-financing for the period provided for in those agreements (usually 6 years).

Information you have shared with others might remain visible after you have erased your Account or deleted this information from your Profile (this is a strictly limited number of cases – for example if you applied in an open call and its Organiser must keep appropriate records).

Detailed information

We implemented the following retention periods for specific situation:

Security of the data

We apply technological and organisational means to secure your personal data. We implement security safeguards corresponding to the threats and category of data to be secured. In particular, FundingBox secures data against being published to unauthorised persons, being taken over by an unauthorised person, processed in violation of the law and changed, lost, damaged or destroyed. Among others, the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates shall be applied. Your personal data are collected and stored on a secured server. Moreover, the data is secured by internal procedures of FundingBox related to processing of the personal data and information security policy.

In order to log in to the Account, you have to provide relevant username and password. In order to ensure an appropriate level of security, the password for the Account exists on the Platform only in a coded form. Furthermore, registration and logging into the Platform takes place under secure https connection. Communication between the User’s device and servers is encoded using the SSL protocol.

Please remember that using the Internet and services provided by electronic means may pose a threat of malware breaking into the user’s IT system and device, as well as any other unauthorised access to your data, including personal details, by third parties. In order to minimise such threats, you should use appropriate technical security means, e.g. using updated antivirus programs or programs that secure user identification on the Internet. In order to obtain detailed and professional information related to the Internet security, FundingBox recommends taking advice from entities specialising in relevant IT services.

FundingBox undertakes all necessary actions, so that our subcontractors and service providers guarantee appropriate security measures whenever they process personal data at the request of FundingBox.

When FundingBox is the Open Call Organiser

FundingBox is a European leader in the organisation and management of open calls. We specialise in organisation of the competitive open calls for cascade funding from public funds.

We know that a good application must include a lot of data. And you have to share with us data that might be confidential for you and are important for your business and/or project.

We protect data collected within open call with the highest professional standards.

So:

• we store application data for compliance reasons for the time required by the Authority that entrusted us public money that we distribute (usually it is 6 years after project final payment);
• we provide access to the application form only to a limited number of people who have to gain access to it to execute the open call (like a limited number of FundingBox’s staff, Project managers, IT, evaluators, project partners);
• a person who accesses the application form is informed about its confidential nature and obliged to maintain confidentiality;
• access to the applications is granted for a limited time period;
• we don’t share application content with the third parties not engaged in the project that is related to the given open call (except for compliance or project requirements reasons, and only in relation to the non-confidential information);
• each open call has its information clause with specific details related to the processing of the personal data.

In the case that FundingBox is the Call Organiser, FundingBox is also the controller of the data.

Our obligations towards Funding Authorities

Great part of grants distributed within our open calls are financed with public money, mainly from the European Commission programmes but also from national funds.

For sake of clarity – FundingBox is not a European Commission agency nor its representative.

Because this is public money, we have to comply with specific reporting and compliance requirements. It means that in some cases we will have to provide the data included in the application form to such Funding Authorities or auditors representing a Funding Authority.

Our obligation towards Funding Authorities also covers informing about grants that we distribute. Because of that, we will publish information about you, your company and project if we provide you with the grant. Don’t worry – it will be the only general information that everyone can get. We will share neither confidential information nor the content of your application.
