Digital Privacy Policy

This Digital Privacy and Cookie Policy explains how JunipR Research collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects personal data obtained through its website, online platforms, digital services, and social media channels. It applies to all visitors who access or interact with JunipR Research’s online content, including website browsing, social media engagement, newsletter subscriptions, contact forms, and online analytics data. The policy describes the types of data collected, the lawful bases relied upon, the use of cookies and similar technologies, and the rights of individuals under the GDPR.

JunipR Research collects digital personal data when individuals visit the website, engage with JunipR Research on social media, complete online forms, subscribe to newsletters, or interact with embedded tools or analytics features. Data collected may include IP addresses, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, access times, pages viewed, referring websites, location approximations, and interaction metadata. When individuals choose to provide additional information through contact forms, subscription forms, or direct messages, JunipR Research may collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, and any information voluntarily submitted.

JunipR Research may also receive personal data indirectly through social media platforms when individuals comment on, like, share, or otherwise interact with JunipR Research’s content. For these interactions, JunipR Research receives only the information made available through the platform’s public settings or APIs and does not access users’ private account data.

Where personal data is collected indirectly or through external platforms, JunipR Research provides the required transparency information under Articles 13 and 14 GDPR.

JunipR Research uses cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate its website, improve user experience, analyse website traffic, measure performance, and support security. Cookies may store preferences, enable essential website functions, or support analytics and marketing activities.

Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly and are placed automatically. Non-essential cookies, including analytics or advertising cookies, are placed only after individuals provide consent through a cookie banner or preference tool. Visitors may update or withdraw consent at any time by adjusting their cookie preferences in the cookie management interface available on the website.

Analytics technologies may record information such as pages visited, time spent on each page, interactions with buttons or forms, and general usage patterns. This data is used only to improve website functionality and user experience. When analytics tools are configured to process data outside the EEA, JunipR Research ensures that appropriate safeguards under Chapter V GDPR are implemented before any transfer occurs.

Digital personal data is processed for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes. These include operating and securing the website, enabling necessary site functions, responding to inquiries, processing online submissions, analysing aggregated usage patterns, improving user experience and website performance, informing content and service development, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and legal requirements.

JunipR Research does not process digital personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes for which the data was originally collected.

JunipR Research relies on several lawful bases for processing digital personal data. For essential cookies, website functionality, and security purposes, JunipR Research relies on legitimate interests to ensure the operation and integrity of the digital environment. For contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, and voluntary submissions, JunipR Research relies on consent or contractual necessity, depending on the context. For analytics and marketing cookies, JunipR Research relies exclusively on consent, obtained through a cookie banner compliant with GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.

When personal data is collected through social media interactions, JunipR Research relies on legitimate interests in engaging with the public, maintaining an online presence, and responding to messages, comments, and requests.

JunipR Research may share digital personal data with service providers that support website hosting, analytics, security, marketing tools, or communication platforms. Examples include website hosting partners, content delivery networks, analytics platforms, and email newsletter providers. These parties act under written agreements that impose confidentiality, data protection, and security obligations.

If personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, JunipR Research uses appropriate safeguards in accordance with Chapter V GDPR, such as adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission, Standard Contractual Clauses, or equivalent legally recognised mechanisms. JunipR Research conducts transfer impact assessments and implements supplementary measures when required to ensure that personal data remains adequately protected.

JunipR Research applies technical and organisational measures to protect personal data collected through digital channels. These measures include encryption of data in transit, access controls, secure hosting environments, logging and monitoring, and regular review of security practices. External service providers are assessed to ensure that comparable safeguards are in place.

JunipR Research retains personal data collected through digital channels only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Analytics data may be retained for limited periods defined by the analytics tools used, generally ranging from several months to two years. Data submitted voluntarily through online forms is retained for the duration required to address the inquiry or provide the requested service, and may be retained longer if necessary for legal or operational purposes. After the retention period expires, data is deleted or permanently anonymised.

When individuals interact with JunipR Research through social media platforms, the processing of personal data is influenced by the privacy settings and policies of each platform. JunipR Research receives only the information that individuals choose to make available publicly or through their interaction with JunipR Research content. JunipR Research does not export, store, or reuse social media data beyond the scope of the interaction unless the individual provides the information voluntarily through direct communication or forms. Individuals should consult the privacy policies of the relevant social media platforms to understand how those platforms collect and process personal data.

Individuals have the right to request access to their personal data, request corrections of inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion of personal data where permitted, restrict processing in defined circumstances, request portability of personal data provided through digital forms, object to processing performed on the basis of legitimate interests, and withdraw consent at any time for cookie-based or marketing processing. Individuals may exercise these rights using the contact details provided below. JunipR Research responds to requests within GDPR-mandated timeframes.
