The European Parliament and Council (EU) General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) implemented by the European Union in 2018 provides legal protections for personal data and privacy of citizens of the EU and EEA, and also governs the transfer of such personal data out of EU/EEA territories. Any individual or organization which handles personal data must clearly disclose any data collection, declare the lawful basis and purpose for data processing, and state how long data is being retained and whether it is shared with any third parties or outside of the EU/EEA. As stated in the preamble to the regulation, “everyone has the right to the protection of [their] personal data”.
This website is subject to the GDPR, and complies with the regulation, as explained below. In addition, other legal notices are included here, which, while not mandatory, provide information about the operation and management of this website for interested persons and organizations around the world.
Who We Are
This website’s address is: https://jewishheritageguide.net.
The website is operated by Rohatyn Jewish Heritage, a Ukrainian non-profit and non-governmental organization registered in Lviv, Ukraine with identification number 41047464. Our NGO’s professional focus is outlined on our About page. Our board and staff are also listed on the same page, together with our contact email addresses.
Research to develop some portions of the content of this website was supported by a grant from the US Fulbright Scholar Program during the 2019-2020 academic year. The Fulbright Scholar Program, the US Department of State, as well as their governing organizations the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) and the Institute of International Education (IIE), have contributed no content to this website, and they are not responsible for the data protection management of this website; that responsibility lies solely with Rohatyn Jewish Heritage.
