Why we need your data?

We need to know your personal data in order to make an informed decision about your participation in the programs provided by us. We will not collect any personal data which are not needed in order to provide and oversee this service to you.

What we do with your data?

All the personal data we process is handled by our staff in Austria, and for the purposes of IT hosting and maintenance, this information is located on servers within Austria. No third parties have access to your personal data unless the law allows them to do so. If your country is served by one of our local coordinators, they will have access to participant information from the respective country only.

We have a data protection regulation in place to oversee the effective and secure processing of your personal data. More information on this framework can be found on our website: www.aaf-online.org/privacy

How long do we keep your data?

If you apply but ultimately do not participate in one of our programs, we keep your basic personal data (name, birthdate, nationality, medical specialty) for a minimum of three years, after which it will be destroyed if you have no open applications. If you have participated, your information will be used for selection, administration, related marketing activities, and will be kept with us until you notify us that you no longer wish to participate in our programs. Please note that we must retain some information on you for statistical analysis. More information on our retention schedule can be found at: www.aaf-online.org/privacy

What your data will be used for?

We will use your name and email address to inform you of our schedules and of past events/programs. Furthermore, we will use your personal information for necessary travel and invitation documentation. This information may be shared with embassies and travel companies, but only if necessary.
