7. Purpose of the processing
The main objective of GSC Demo project is to meet the GOVSATCOM demands of cM,s and European CSDP actors trough a pooled capability (bandwidth/power and/or services) that has been provided by cM,s capabilities. In this regard, the Project facilitates provision of excess capability to a pool that would be available for use by other interested contributing Member States, and therefore mitigate their shortfalls. A project Arrangement Management Group (PAMG) will be set up comprising representatives from the cMs as the decision making body, in oder to govern and manage the GSC Demo Project. Subsequently, EDA will set up GSC Demo Project Office (GDPO) responsible for the effective coordination and daily activities of the GSC Demo Project. To that end, the communication between the parties (PAMG, GDPO and MS) needs to be enabled and their personal data collected by EDA, shared among other parties to the project and potentially with governmental bodies and governmental controlled Service Providers.
8. Description of categories of persons whose data EDA processes and list of data categories

Data are collected from the following individuals or group of people:

  • representative of cMs to the project;
  • representatives of other countries which have signed Administrative Arrangements with EDA and contribute to the Project;
  • representatives of cM's Service Providers and End Users;
  • representatives of participating Member States to EDA, State, Union's institutions or bodies, Organisation or other entity that are not cMs but are invited by the PAMG to observe the activities under the Project Arrangement.

  • Telephone number.
9. Time limit for keeping the data
Personal data are stored as long as they are valid and substituted when so requested by contributing Member representatives. Due to the nature of the business, EDA will periodically request cMs representatives to confirm that their personal data are still valid and to provide new PoC data representatives if changed. Personal data will be kept as long as needed to serve the purpose for which they have been collected or until the data subject indicates that he/she wants the data to be removed. In any case, the personal data collected, and the database will be deleted at the closure of the Project.
