What this website does not do
We consider it important to state this plainly. This website:
- does not use analytics, statistics or audience-measurement tools;
- does not use advertising, tracking or social media pixels;
- does not profile visitors and takes no automated decisions about them;
- does not load fonts, maps, videos or scripts from third-party servers;
- does not offer registration, user accounts or newsletters;
- does not sell or share personal data with anyone.
What is actually processed
Server log files. Like any web server, our host records technical data for each request: IP address, date and time, the resource requested, HTTP status, browser and operating system. These logs are used solely to keep the service running and secure, and to detect malfunctions or attacks. Legal basis: legitimate interest in the security and availability of the service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). They are retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised by the hosting provider.
Technical cookies. Only cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to function, described in the Cookie Policy.
Correspondence. If you write to any address published on this site, we process the data you choose to include in your message in order to reply to you. Legal basis: performance of a task carried out in the public interest, namely the dissemination of publicly funded research (Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR), and your consent where applicable. Messages are kept only for as long as needed to deal with the matter and to comply with the record-keeping duties of a Slovenian public research institute.
Recipients and processors
The website is hosted by Raiola Networks S.L. (Lugo, Spain), acting as a data processor under a contract compliant with Art. 28 GDPR. Servers are located within the European Union, so no transfers of personal data outside the EEA take place.
Links to social media
Some pages link out to Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. These are ordinary links: nothing is loaded from those platforms while you browse this site, and they receive no data about you unless you actively click through. Once you do, their own privacy policies apply.
Your rights
You have the right to request access to your personal data, and its rectification, erasure or restriction of processing; to object to processing based on legitimate interest or public task; and to data portability where applicable. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.
To exercise these rights, contact the Data Protection Officer at
Right to lodge a complaint
If you believe your data has not been handled lawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the Slovenian supervisory authority:
Informacijski pooblaščenec (Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia)
Dunajska cesta 22, 1000 Ljubljana

If the website ever begins to use analytics or any other non-essential technology, this policy and the cookie banner will be updated beforehand and, where the law requires it, your consent will be requested first.
