Política de Privacidade

This Privacy Policy explains how the EXCEL-PHARM consortium handles the personal data you provide when you apply for, or appeal the outcome of, an EXCEL-PHARM scholarship through this website.

Who we are

EXCEL-PHARM is a consortium of African and European universities, coordinated by the University of Cape Coast (Ghana) and funded by the European Union under the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme. For any data-protection question, contact info@excel-pharm.org.

What we collect

• Application details — your name, contact details, nationality, country of residence, date of birth, sex, identity document type and number, academic history, previous scholarships, motivation letter, chosen programme and target group.
• Uploaded documents — your CV, degree certificate, academic transcript, passport/ID, and (for PhD applicants) a research concept note.
• Appeal details — if you appeal an outcome, the grounds you state and the appeal letter you upload.
• Your declaration — your confirmation regarding prior EACEA-funded African Mobility scholarships.
• Technical data — a small cookie for your language preference, and, if you save a draft, your email address and a secure resume link.

Why we use it

We use your data only to assess and administer the scholarship: to evaluate your application, contact you about its outcome, manage any appeal, and meet the consortium's reporting obligations to the European Union / EACEA. The legal basis is your consent (given when you submit) together with the legitimate interests of operating the scholarship programme and the consortium's funding obligations.

Who can see it

Your application and appeal are accessible to the project coordinator and the project administrator, and are shared with the scholarship selection committee for assessment. We do not sell your data or share it for advertising. Data may be shared with the European Union / EACEA where required for funding administration and audit.

How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as needed to run the selection and to meet EU funding and audit requirements for this scholarship cycle, after which it is deleted or anonymised. (The exact retention period will be confirmed here by the consortium.)

How we protect it

Uploaded documents are stored privately and are not publicly accessible; access to applicant data is restricted to the people named above.

Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal data, object to its use, or withdraw your consent at any time by emailing info@excel-pharm.org. Withdrawing consent before a decision may mean we can no longer consider your application.

Changes

We may update this policy; any changes will be published on this page.
