Privacy policy

GDPR - READ OUR NEW PRIVACY POLICY 

About the GDPR
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC. It is designed to harmonise data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens’ data privacy and to reshape the way organisations across the region approach data privacy. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The new regulations have come into effect on 25 May 2018.

About EEPAP
Our aim at EEPAP is to facilitate international exchange of artists, professionals, curators and thinkers in the field of contemporary performing arts in Europe and to develop educational programs rooted in the context of contemporary society. However, at the same time,  we take our work seriously, especially when it comes to personal privacy.
