Privacy & your data
Last updated 2026-06-19
This notice explains what personal data EU Candidates collects when you subscribe to email alerts, why we collect it, and the rights you have. We collect as little as possible and never sell your data.
Who controls your data
EU Candidates (eucandidates.com) is the data controller for this information. For any privacy question or request, email hello@eucandidates.com.
What we collect
Only what you give us when subscribing: your email address, your interface language, which countries you follow, and which alert types you chose. We also record when you consented and which version of this notice you agreed to. We do not collect your name, track you across other sites, or store any payment data.
Why we collect it
To send you the alerts you ask for: occasional updates about EU accession progress (verified milestones, changes to the projected timeline, and newly unlocked rights), which may include sponsored content. Our legal basis is your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). We send a confirmation email when you sign up, and after you confirm, only the alerts you opted into.
Who we share it with
Your address is shared with our email-delivery provider, Resend, which acts only on our instructions as a data processor under contract, solely to deliver these emails. We will never sell or rent your address. Any sponsored content appears inside our own emails; sponsors never receive your address.
How long we keep it
Until you unsubscribe or ask us to erase it. Unsubscribing stops the emails; erasure removes your address from our records entirely.
Your rights
You can access, correct, or erase your data, withdraw your consent at any time, and lodge a complaint with your national data-protection authority. To unsubscribe, use the link in any email we send, or email hello@eucandidates.com. To exercise any other right, email hello@eucandidates.com.
Changes to this notice
If we materially change what we collect or why, we will update this page and its version date, and seek fresh consent where the law requires it.
