Essay Contest – Privacy Policy

Dear participant,

Metropolitan City of Turin is part of the Horizon 2020 research project MATILDE, coordinated by the University of Eastern Finland.

MATILDE (Migration Impact Assessment to Enhance Integration and Local Development in European Rural and Mountain Areas) is a 3 years research project that aims to assess the social and economic impacts of migration on local development and territorial cohesion, considering in particular European rural and mountain regions. The project considers “Third Country Nationals” (TCNs) as non-EU citizens, who reside legally in the European Union and who are the target of EU integration policies. The assessment is based on the hypothesis that foreign immigration is an important driver of social and economic development, affecting also the nexus between urban and rural/mountain areas.

In accordance with EU Regulation No. 2016/679 – General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and with the national legislation, hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Applicable Law”, this policy statement addresses the subject of privacy with regard to the processing of personal data of users of the online web services https://matilde-migration.eu/.
