ESS Privacy and Cookies Policies
The European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) takes the privacy rights of individuals very seriously. These policies explain how, why, and when we collect your personal data, as well as your personal data rights.
The Legal Function Network supports the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of ESS.
The legal function and personnel within the ESS organisation are decentralised and located within different subprojects/divisions. Personnel maintain a collaboration with respect to the legal services provided to ESS through the “Legal Function Network”, to enable ESS to meet its objectives and act within the law.
The availability of legal advice will enable ESS to meet its objectives, minimise liabilities and risk, while ensuring the organisation’s compliance with applicable law. These purposes are accomplished primarily by providing legal advice and assistance to management and staff on a full range of issues that may impact ESS. All legal services to ESS are attainable through the Legal Function Network.
