Normactivity is a research network and a research website.
Normactivity’s Privacy Policy applies to any fellow of our research network and to any visitor to our website.
Normactivity aims to help scholars connect with one another, find and be found for research opportunities, stay informed, and be more productive.
This page describes Normactivity’s policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information collected through this website.
1. Collecting and Using Personal Data
Normactivity may ask you to provide personally identifiable information, including:
- first name and last name,
- institutional affiliation and/or work address,
- publications,
- other information concerning your research activity.
Such personal data will be processed only with your explicit consent or on another valid legal basis, where applicable.
2. Usage Data
The website is managed through the WordPress Content Management System (CMS).
When you use the website, certain usage data may be collected automatically, either by WordPress itself, by the hosting provider, or by installed plugins and technical services necessary for the functioning of the site.
This data may include, for example, IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, date and time of access, referring URLs, and other diagnostic data.
The website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to monitor activity and store certain information.
We use such data in aggregated or anonymised form, where possible, to generate insights that do not identify you personally.
3. Use of Your Personal Data
We rely on your consent to process personal data where consent is the appropriate legal basis.
At any time, you can withdraw your consent by writing to normactivity@gmail.com.
Normactivity will use personal data only for purposes connected with the activities of the research network, including:
- managing participation in the network,
- publishing or updating fellows’ profiles and research information where authorised,
- facilitating academic networking among fellows,
- responding to requests submitted through the website or by email,
- ensuring the security and proper functioning of the website.
4. Retention of Your Personal Data
You may request the removal of your personal data from the website at any time by contacting us at normactivity@gmail.com.
Personal data will be retained only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by law or justified by legitimate administrative needs related to the operation of the research network.
5. Links to Other Websites
Normactivity may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us, such as social media platforms, academic resources, or external services.
If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
6. Copyright
6.1 The Website
The contents of Normactivity, including texts, logos, tables, images, sounds, and any other information made available in any form, are protected under applicable intellectual property law.
The website, including its design, texts, layout, drawings, photographs, videos, graphics, and all other elements of Normactivity, as well as their selection and arrangement, are the exclusive property of the members of Normactivity’s executive team, which holds the related copyrights, or are used on the site with the permission of the legitimate right holder.
6.2 The Contents
Projects, papers, news, and other contents, unless otherwise specified, may be downloaded or used only for personal or non-commercial purposes, provided that the source is properly cited.
For-profit use, copying, or distribution of the contents available on Normactivity is permitted only with the written permission, or another legally valid form of authorization, of the relevant right holder, without prejudice to any other legal rights.
Copyright notices, author names where indicated, and the source itself must always be cited in any publication or dissemination of such materials.
7. Changes to this Privacy Policy
Normactivity may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.
Where appropriate, we may also provide notice of significant changes by email or by a prominent notice on the website.
The “Last updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy will also be revised accordingly.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes become effective when they are posted on this page.
8. Cookies and the Use of User Information
The Normactivity website uses cookies to improve the user experience and to monitor traffic statistics. Cookies are small text files, made up of letters and/or numbers, that allow the web server to store information about users’ browsing activity through their browser.
This information may be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, including on different days (persistent cookies). Cookies may record certain preferences or technical interactions relating to the use of the website through a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
On a WordPress website, cookies may be set not only by the core CMS, but also by themes, plugins, embedded content, analytics services, security tools, or third-party integrations actually enabled on the site.
Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will be activated only after the user has expressed their consent through the cookie banner or consent management tool implemented on the site.
Users may withdraw or modify their cookie preferences at any time through the consent management interface made available on the website.
If a Consent Management Platform (CMP) is used on this WordPress site, cookie preferences will be managed through that tool in accordance with applicable GDPR requirements.
9. Your Rights
Subject to applicable data protection law, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, rectification or erasure of such data, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and, where applicable, data portability.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
