You also have the right to apply at any moment to the European Data Protection Supervisor.
All official mail or any kind of communication sent via the Contact Us form is automatically forwarded to the Eltis Team and/or the appropriate consortium partner to take appropriate action.
Although you can browse through Eltis without giving any information about yourself, we do require certain personal information in order to grant you access to some parts of the portal. We treat this information according to the privacy policy statement.
