Personal data protection

The European Union is committed to user privacy.

The policy on protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions is based on Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices, and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC.

This general policy covers the European Union's family of institutional websites. Although you can browse through most of these websites without giving any personal information, in some cases the information is required in order to provide the e-services you request. Websites that require such information treat it in full compliance with the regulation mentioned above and provide information about the use of your data in their specific privacy policy statements.

In this respect:

  • for each e-service, a controller determines the purposes and means of personal data processing and ensures conformity with the privacy policy
  • within each institution, a Data Protection Officer ensures that the provisions of the regulation are applied and advises controllers on fulfilling their obligations
  • for all the institutions, the European Data Protection Supervisor acts as an independent supervisory authority

The European Union's family of institutional websites provides links to third party sites. In order to use third party content on our websites, you may need to accept their specific terms and conditions, including their cookie policies, over which we have no control.

 

e-service

3 types of e-services are, or will be, offered:

  • information services that provide people, media, businesses, administrations, and others with access to information
  • interactive communication services that allow better contact with people, businesses, civil society, and public bodies, in order to facilitate policy consultations and feedback
  • services that allow access to all basic forms of transactions with the EU, such as procurement, financial operations, recruitment, event enrolment, and acquisition of documents

 

Information contained in a specific privacy statement

A specific privacy policy statement will contain the following information about the use of your data

  • what information is collected, for what purpose and the technical means by which the EU collects personal information in order to fulfill a specific purpose
