Privacy Policy

Rationale for our privacy policy

The MENTOR Doctoral Network is a multi-disciplinary training network focusing on the mTOR (mammalian/mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin) network, a central signaling hub that integrates, nutritional cues and controls cell growth and metabolism and funded by the European Union under the grant agreement No 101168624.

For us, when it comes to the protection of personal data and respect for privacy, this means being guided by a responsible approach.

We therefore wish to inform you about the processing of personal data that we operate, your rights and the way in which you can exercise them, as well as the means we implement to ensure the security of your data and protect its confidentiality.

Personal data is that which belongs to persons identified directly (for example by their name and first name) or indirectly (for example by their date and place of birth). It is protected at European level by the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, also referred to as the GDPR). Data concerning the health of a person is personal data that is particularly sensitive for private life, and is therefore subject to particularly strict rules, defined by the GDPR, and, in France, by the Public Health Code and the Data Protection Act.

Use of cookies

A “cookie” is a piece of information, usually small in size and identified by name, that can be transmitted to your browser by a website you connect to. Your web browser will keep it for a certain period of time and send it back to the web server each time you reconnect to it.

There are different types of “cookie”, depending on their purpose:

– “Cookie” to keep your browsing preferences on the site and to optimize browsing performance.

– “Cookie” allowing the site owner to establish statistics for measuring the audience and interactions with the site.

– “Cookie” allowing users to activate interaction with social networks while browsing the site, for example to view content located on a social network.

– “Cookie” allowing the conduct of targeted advertising operations, based on information that the cookie stores about your behavior.

These “cookies” may have been installed on your terminal by the site you are visiting, or by another site that tracks your interactions with any other site.

Our websites use “cookies” to optimize the use of the site, as well as “cookies” for audience measurement.

The MENTOR Doctoral Network website do not use targeted advertising “cookies”. When activating the link to one of The MENTOR Doctoral Network’ social networks (X or LinkedIn), these social networks will present to you their own privacy and cookie policy, in the event that you have not already accepted it.

If you wish, you can delete the optimization “cookies” from your browser (each type of browser has a feature allowing you to access the list of “cookies” specific to each site you have visited and to deactivate them or delete them; contact your service provider to find out about them). However, this action may result in the deterioration of certain features of the site, but does not prevent access and navigation through the pages.
