Who we share your data with
Newsletter
By subscribing to our newsletter you agree that your email address is stored in our database running on the Amazon Elastic Cloud account managed by IMDC, and used solely for the purpose of sending you regular emails in the form of newsletters. We do not share this information with anyone else. It is possible to unsubscribe to this e-mail by using the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter or using the ‘Change your profile’ link in the e-mail with subject ‘Welcome to the ECSA 2025 newsletter’. Should you later submit an abstract through our website or subscribe to the ECSA Local Meeting 2025, the data stored in the newsletter database is not cross-referenced.
Submitting an abstract
By submitting an abstract you agree that your submitted file(s) and/or it’s contents are forwarded by e-mail to the personal mailboxes of the persons involved in the project at University of Antwerp and IMDC. For the copies sent to IMDC the ENGIE e-mail policy applies, as IMDC is a subsidiary of ENGIE S.A. through ownership by Tractebel Engineering S.A. Your abstract is then stored on the on-premise servers of the University of Antwerp and International Marine and Dredging Consultants N.V. (IMDC) for the purpose of the selection process. You also agree that abstracts of your submitted content may be published on the ECSA 2025 website (https://ecsa2025.org) and abstracts or full contents can be shown to all participants of the ECSA Local Meeting 2025.

How long we retain your data
Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
Suggested text: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
