The policy on “protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions” is based currently on Regulation (EC) N° 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 (and not on the “GDPR” Regulation 2016/679 that repeals the Directive 95/46/EC). The new version of Regulation 45/2001 is currently being adopted. The legal notices on Europa will be updated in accordance with the new version.
This general policy covers the European Union’s family of institutional websites, within the eu domain.
Although you can browse through most of these websites without giving any information about yourself, in some cases, personal information is required in order to provide the services you request (newsletter sign-in or contact form for example).
Websites that require such information treat it according to the policy described in the Regulation mentioned above.
In this respect:
- For each specific e-service, a controller determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data and ensures conformity of the specific e-service with the privacy policy;
- A Data Protection Officer ensures that the provisions of the Regulation are applied and advises controllers on fulfilling their obligations (see art. 24 of the Regulation).
This website provides links to third party sites. Since we do not control them, we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
