Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Who we are

This website is operated by the European Seniors Friendly Communities (ESFC) project, an initiative co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme (project reference: 2024-1-ES01-KA210-ADU-000243656). The coordinating organisation is Asociación Aging to the Future, based in Almendralejo, Spain. For any privacy-related enquiries, please contact us at: info@aging2future.org.

2. What data we collect

When you visit this website, we may collect the following categories of data through Google Analytics:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Approximate geographic location (country or region level only)
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Referring website or search engine
  • Device type (desktop, tablet, mobile)

We do not collect your name, email address, or any other directly identifying information through analytics. Your IP address is anonymised before it is processed.

3. Why we collect it

We use Google Analytics solely to understand how visitors interact with the ESFC website so that we can improve its content and usability. This processing is based on your consent, which you provide through the cookie banner when you first visit the site.

4. Cookies

This site uses the following types of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to function (e.g. language preference). These do not require your consent.
  • Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to collect the usage data described above. These are only placed after you click Accept in the cookie banner.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and declining when the banner reappears.

5. How long data is kept

Google Analytics retains aggregated usage data for 14 months by default. No personal data is stored on our own servers beyond what your browser sends as part of a standard web request (e.g. server access logs, which are retained for a maximum of 30 days).

6. Who we share data with

We do not sell or rent your data. Analytics data is processed by Google LLC under a Data Processing Agreement. Google may transfer data outside the European Economic Area; such transfers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. No other third parties receive your data as a result of visiting this website.

7. Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you
  • Request correction or erasure of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@aging2future.org.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
