Purposes and legal basis for the processing

The 'Promoting Obesity and Metabolic Rehabilitation INclusion in EU Entry-level Physiotherapy Curricula - PROMINENCE' project is a pioneering partnership between five European Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) and the Foundation of the Europe Region of World Physiotherapy (ERWP) with a focus on physiotherapy education regarding obesity and metabolic disease.

​

The PROMINENCE website supports the project's objectives by allowing you to:

  • be regularly informed of the project progress;

  • subscribe to the PROMINENCE newsletter;

  • as a physiotherapy student, physiotherapist or health professional, to enroll in the PROMINENCE Open Education Resource (OER) once it is ready;

  • as a physiotherapy student, physiotherapist or health professional, to participate in the PROMINENCE course, once it is ready, including engaging with course content, taking tests, and obtaining your results and certificates. 

 

To provide you these services, we must collect personal information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The PROMINENCE project will therefore collect and store achievement and log data volunteered via the OER, and information volunteered via the newsletter subscription contact form. When you contact us directly by the website and subscribe to our newsletter, you may provide us personal information such as email address, name and any other information you include in your communications with us. 

 

With regards to the OER, the data collected will only be used internally by the PROMINENCE consortium in order to make the course operational and accessible to any physiotherapist and other health professional wishing to access the Open Education Resource (OER). By providing personal data, the user will receive the PROMINENCE Badge and certification for fully completing the OER.

 

Any information provided in this manner, is not made available to any third parties, and is used by the PROMINENCE project solely for the purposes for which it is provided.
