I maintain this website to enhance public access to information about usrdoc in general. My goal is to keep this information timely and accurate. If errors are brought to my attention, I will try to correct them.
However …

This information is:

• of a general nature only and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual or entity;
• not necessarily comprehensive, complete or up to date;
• sometimes linked to external sites over which I have no control and for which I assume no responsibility;
• not legal advice (if you need specific advice, you should always consult a suitably qualified professional).

Please note that it cannot be guaranteed that a document available on-line exactly reproduces an officially adopted text. Only legislation published in paper editions of the Official Journal is deemed authentic.

It is my goal to minimize disruption caused by technical errors. However some data or information on my site may have been created or structured in files or formats that are not error-free and I can not guarantee that my service will not be interrupted or otherwise affected by such problems. I accept no responsibility with regard to such problems incurred as a result of using this site or any linked external sites.

This disclaimer is not intended to limit the liability of me in contravention of any requirements laid down in applicable national law nor to exclude its liability for matters which may not be excluded under that law.

I am committed to user privacy.  Although you can browse through most of this web-site without giving any information about yourself, in some cases,  personal information is required in order to provide the service you request.
Web-sites that require such information normally treat it according to the policy described in a regulation mentioned elsewhere and provide information about the use of your data in their specific privacy policy statements.

This web-site provides links to third party sites. Since I do not control them, I encourage you to review their privacy policies.

What is a service?
A service is a resource made available on the Internet in order to improve the communication between citizens and businesses on the one hand and me on the other hand.

For instance, three types of services are or will be offered:

1. Information services that provide citizens, media, business, administrations and other decision makers with easy and effective access to information, thus increasing transparency and understanding of the policies and activities regarding usrdoc;
2. Interactive communication services that allow better contacts with citizens, business, civil society and public actors thus facilitating policy consultations, and feedback mechanisms, in order to contribute to the shaping of policies, the activities and the services of usrdoc;
3. Transaction services that allow access to all basic forms of transactions with usrdoc, e.g. procurement, financial operations, recruitment, event enrolment, acquisition or purchase of documents etc.

A specific privacy policy statement will contain the following information about the use of your data:

• What information is collected, for what purpose and through which technical means (e.g., I collect personal information exclusively to the extent necessary to fulfil a specific purpose. The information will not be re-used for an incompatible aim);
• To whom your information is disclosed. I will only disclose information to third parties if that is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes identified above and to the mentioned (categories of) recipients. I will not divulge your personal data for direct marketing purposes;
• How you can access your information, verify its accuracy and, if necessary, correct it. As a data subject you also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on legitimate compelling grounds except when it is collected in order to comply with a legal obligation, or is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or is to be used for a purpose for which you have given your unambiguous consent;
• How long your data is kept. I only keeps the data for the time necessary to fulfil the purpose of collection or further processing;
• What are the security measures taken to safeguard your information against possible misuse or unauthorised access;
• Whom to contact if you have queries or complaints.

How do I treat e-mails you send me?

Many web pages have a “Contact” button, which activates your e-mail software and invites you to send your comments to a specific functional mailbox.

When you send such a message, your personal data is collected only to the extent necessary to reply. If the management team of the mailbox is unable to answer your question, it will forward your e-mail to another service. You will be informed, via e-mail, about which service your question has been forwarded to.

If you have any questions about the processing of your e-mail and related personal data, do not hesitate to include them in your message.
