Inovcorp Lda developed this website. The ENOVAT communications team and some of the staff at University of Copenhagen, which hosts the ENOVAT secretariat, maintain the content of the website.
This page explains when and why we collect personal information about people who visit and interact with our website, how we use it and how we keep it secure.
We take great care of any information we receive from you and are constantly looking at ways to improve what we do so we change the content on this page to keep it updated. Please check this page occasionally to ensure that you are happy with any changes. By using our website, you agree to our policy.
The European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Treatment is a COST Action that is based at the University of Copenhagen, Stigbøjlen 4, 1870 Frederiksberg, Denmark. The communications team of ENOVAT is responsible for the content on its website, on social media and in its newsletter.
We obtain information about you, for example, when you contact us to tell us about an event or a job vacancy you would like us to advertise or if you sign up to receive one of our monthly newsletters, we need this information to be able to interact with you.
Like millions of other websites, we use Google Analytics to find out about where visitors to our website go how we can improve the user experience.
The personal information we collect includes your name, address, email address, IP address, and information regarding what pages are accessed and when.
If you sign up to our newsletter, we collect personal information including your name and email address.
If you sign up to become an ENOVAT member, we collect personal information including your name, email address, affiliation and affiliation address.
We use (process) your contact details to send you our newsletter (if you have signed up for it) and to facilitate and maintain ENOVAT membership.
We only send our newsletter to those people who have specifically signed up to receive it and each newsletter gives the reader the option to easily unsubscribe from receiving any more newsletters. To ensure that the newsletter is of high quality, topical and functional we are able to see which articles are most popular and have been clicked on the most. For this, we need to take note of your IP address. When a newsletter recipient unsubscribes from a newsletter we (as a matter of course) will delete their information from our newsletter system. This also deletes all other information about their interactions and the newsletters including IP address.
For those individuals who sign up to become members of the network we have to keep a minimal amount of contact information about you to allow us to maintain your membership. This may include occasional emails to inform you about relevant activities of our network. We need to save details such as name and email address to enable us to get back in touch with you.
We are happy to remove any member from our mailing lists who does not want to be contacted in this way please email communication@enovat.eu
When visitors sign up to become a member they are given the choice of whether they want their details (name and country) publishing on our website. We are happy to alter this choice at any time please contact us at communication@enovat.eu
The Google Analytics tracking information allows us to better understand the numbers and location of people visiting our site and what content they are using. This allows us to make better decisions about design, navigation and content. Occasionally, we need to compile aggregate statistics about the number of visitors this site receives, pages visited and where they are from (geographically).

We use some basic aggregate statistical information to fulfil our reporting requirements to the COST organisation but we never include any personal information.
