YoungBMC Symposium 2025 on Cellular Metabolomics

YoungBMC Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is valid for the YoungBMC network. It is important to note that whilst YoungBMC is part of the Benelux Metabolomics Center (BMC) the YoungBMC privacy policy does not extend to the entire BMC in any manner.

Purpose

We are YoungBMC: a network organization with non-commercial purposes that helps to connect early-career researchers within the metabolomics field. Our services facilitate workshops and other activities organised by the metabolomics research community in the BeNeLux area comprising the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. As a network organization, we store personal data that are required todeliver our services or to meet legal requirements. This data needs to be stored indefinitely (or until explicitly asked to delete it), so that we can re-contact persons in the future to invite them for YoungBMC related events, distribute newsletters, and provide an overview of available metabolomics expertise amongst the network as means to stimulate contact within the network.

Data Protection

Protecting your privacy on our network is important to us. YoungBMC stores the following contact details: name and degree(s), email address, affiliation, year of latest degree, and expertise areas, of its participants as members of the YoungBMC network. YoungBMC processes personal data in compliance with EU law (GDPR) and all other legal regulations that may apply. We use Google Drive to store contact details of members.

We need this the above-mentioned data to be able to organise events for the network, to extract and share available metabolomics-related expertise within the network, to assess the membership regularly and ensure YoungBMC remains a network of early-career scientists, and to communicate about the specific workshops or other activities for which participant register.

The YoungBMC members list is used to contact the members about the latest developments within our metabolomics network and to ask for input on organisational matters. Communications with you can be stored in e-mail boxes of our YoungBMC network. We can delete traces of communication with you upon explicit request.

Your rights

You have the right to obtain, upon request, information about the personal data which are stored about you free of charge. You also have the right to demand that false data be corrected or deleted. You have the right to restrict the processing of your data, the right to object to processing, and the right to data portability or sharing. If you have consented to our processing of your data, you can revoke this consent at any time, taking effect from the time of revocation. You also have the right to file a complaint with a data protection authority about the processing of your data by us.

Service Providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our service (e.g. Implementation Networks coordination, outreach and linking, including but not limited to mailings and events organisation) to provide the service on our behalf, to perform service-related services or to assist us in analysing how our service is used.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose than as mentioned above.
