Will your personal data be processed in third countries or by international organisations?
In rare circumstances, your personal data may be processed in third countries or by international organisations based on the derogations for specific situations set out in Article 50(1) EUDPR.
Your personal data may also be processed in third countries or by international organisations based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission (pursuant to Article 47 EUDPR), which can be found on the European Commission’s website.
Your personal data may also be processed in third countries or by international organisations based on appropriate safeguards (pursuant to Article 48 EUDPR). These are provided by:
- Standard contractual clauses;
- An administrative arrangement containing enforceable and effective data subject rights;
- Binding corporate rules;
- A code of conduct;
- A specific certification mechanism.
If the third country’s legislation and/or practices impinge on the effectiveness of these appropriate safeguards, your personal data can only be transferred to, accessed from or processed in this third country when sufficient additional measures are taken to ensure an equivalent level of protection to that guaranteed within the European Economic Area. These additional measures are implemented on a case-by-case basis and may be technical (such as encryption), organisational and/or contractual.
You can request a copy of the appropriate safeguards from the ECB’s Data Protection Officer.
How long will the ECB keep personal data?
LinkedIn will store the user’s personal data for a maximum of one year before being deleted. The ECB does not store any personal data.
Who can you contact for queries or requests?
You can exercise your rights by contacting join-us@ecb.europa.eu. You can also contact the ECB’s Data Protection Officer directly at dpo@ecb.europa.eu for all queries concerning your personal data.
Addressing the European Data Protection Supervisor
If you believe that your rights under the EUDPR have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the European Data Protection Supervisor at any time.
