Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 8, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected and processed when you use the 50th SBNWM Symposium website (sbnwm50.org), in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / Regulation 2016/679) and the French “Informatique et Libertés” law.
1. Data controller
The data controller is CEA (ISEC), organiser of the 50th SBNWM Symposium (SBNWM 2026).
- Registered office
- 25 rue Leblanc, Bâtiment Le Ponant D, 75015 Paris, France
- Contact
- contact@sbnwm50.org
- Data Protection Officer (DPO)
- dpd@cea.fr
2. What data we collect and why
| Context | Data collected | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contacting us by email | Email address, name and the content of your message | Answering your request | Legitimate interest |
| Abstract submission | Name, email, affiliation, country, abstract document and its authors | Managing the scientific review and programme | Consent / steps prior to participation |
| Registration & payment | Name, email, affiliation, billing details, options (e.g. dietary needs) | Managing your registration and attendance | Performance of the registration contract |
| Committee pages | Name, photograph, professional affiliation and role | Presenting the symposium committees | Consent (provided by the members themselves) |
Abstract submission and registration are handled through our third-party ticketing platform Evenium (see section 4). Some data is therefore collected directly by that platform.
3. Cookies and tracking
This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies, and does not load Google Analytics, advertising pixels or social-media trackers. Fonts are self-hosted, so no data is sent to Google when you browse the site.
Two third-party services are embedded in this website and may set their own cookies. Neither is loaded until you allow it:
- • Evenium — the registration and abstract-submission platform. Refusing these cookies means the registration and abstract forms cannot be displayed, and you will not be able to register.
- • Google Maps — the interactive map of the venue on the Venue & Travel page. Refusing these cookies simply hides the map.
Your choices are recorded in your browser only (local storage), never on our servers, and no optional service is loaded before you consent. You can review or change them at any time using the Cookies button in the bottom-left corner of every page.
4. Recipients and processors
Your data may be shared with the following categories of recipients:
- • The symposium organising and scientific committees (for abstracts and registration).
- • Evenium — registration and abstract-submission platform, acting as a data processor under a data processing agreement (Article 28 GDPR / Evenium Data Processing Addendum).
- • Our website host: IONOS SARL (see Legal Notice).
We never sell your personal data. Data is processed primarily within the European Union. However, Evenium relies on infrastructure and an affiliated company located outside the EU; where personal data is transferred outside the EU, appropriate safeguards (such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses) are applied to ensure an equivalent level of protection.
5. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above:
- • Email enquiries: up to 12 months.
- • Abstracts and registration: for the duration of the event, plus the legal and accounting retention periods required by law.
6. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. You may withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
To exercise these rights, contact contact@sbnwm50.org or the DPO (dpd@cea.fr). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL.
7. Automated decision-making and profiling
This website does not carry out any automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR. Your personal data is not used to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you on a solely automated basis.
8. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated. The “last updated” date at the top of the page indicates the latest version.
Organization
The 50th SBNWM symposium is hosted by Institute of Separative Chemistry of Marcoule (ICSM) and CEA/ISEC (Institut des sciences et technologies pour une économie circulaire des énergies bas carbone) with support of the Chemistry Department of Montpellier University.
