INTRODUCTION <p> The European Commission (hereafter 'the Commission') is committed to protect your personal data and to respect your privacy. The Commission collects and further processes personal data pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the 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 (repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001). </p> <p> This privacy statement explains the reason for the processing of your personal data, the way we collect, handle and ensure protection of all personal data provided, how that information is used and what rights you have in relation to your personal data. It also specifies the contact details of the responsible Data Controller with whom you may exercise your rights, the Data Protection Officer and the European Data Protection Supervisor. </p> <p> The information in relation to processing operation 'Identity &amp. Access Management Service (IAMS)' including EU Login, undertaken by EC DIGIT D3, is presented below. </p> 2. WHY AND HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA? <p> <u>Purpose of the processing operation</u>: The European Commission's Identity &amp. Access Management Service (IAMS) provides a common way for individuals to register or be registered for access to a number of different Commission information systems or services.<br> EC DIGIT D3 collects and uses your personal information to manage user populations and their rights in the context of IT systems. The main purpose is to ensure the appropriate level of security is applied in a consistent fashion across Commission IT services with the ability to identify the user of the service, authenticate that user, and / or determine his or her authorisations and roles within the context of their service. The IAMS allows not only the authentication of individual that have an employment relationship with EU Institutions (EU Staff), but also self-registered individuals can create an EU-login account worldwide. </p> <p> Additional purposes for this processing operation, regarding individuals that have an employment relationship with EUIs, are the following:</p> <ul> <li>services, allowing individuals contact details to be found (e.g. e-mail address book or telephone directory)</li> <li>selection of individuals from lists, usually based on some selection criteria</li> <li>construction of lists of individuals, primarily e-mail distribution lists</li> <li>customisation of user interfaces according to users' individual characteristics</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> The processing is automated and performed by means of computer/machine. </p> <p> Your personal data will not be used for an automated decision-making including profiling. </p> <p> Individual Commission sites that rely on IAMS for commonly required personal data, may nevertheless collect additional personal data themselves. This data processing will be covered by the sites' own privacy statements. </p> 3. ON WHAT LEGAL GROUND(S) DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA <p> We process your personal data, because: </p> <p> (a) Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Union institution or body. </p> <p> The processing is necessary for the performance and support of tasks carried out by the institution as mandated by the Treaties, in particular Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 17, of the Treaty of the European Union and Articles 2, 4, 67, 310, 325 of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union. </p> <p> Commission Decision (EU, Euratom) 2017/46 of 10 January 2017 on the security of communication and information systems in the European Commission and Information Security Policy and Internal Rules for handling ICT Information Security Incidents, the Commission Information Systems Security Policy C(2006)3602. </p> <p> Regulation No 31 (EEC), 11 (EAEC), laying down the Staff Regulations of Officials and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community (OJ 45, 14.6.1962, p. 1385), as last amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1611 of 7 July 2016. </p> <p> This processing operation is also in line with Regulation (EU) 2018/1724 on establishing a single digital gateway to provide access to information, to procedures and to assistance and problem-solving services and amending Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 and within the scope of the EC's eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020 on accelerating the digital transformation of governments. </p> <p> The above-mentioned legal basis applies to the EU-login users that have an employment relationship with the EU Institutions, agencies and Bodies (EU Staff). </p> <p> The personal data of the self-registered individuals is processed based on their consent after having read, understood and agreed to this privacy statement. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. </p> 4.

The exact time of log-out will also be recorded for security purposes. </p> <p> The provision of personal data is mandatory to meet access requirement to the European Commission IT Systems. If you do not provide your personal data, the consequence is that you will not be able to get access to the mentioned IT systems. </p> <p> We have obtained your personal data either from the HR system of your EU Institution, Agency or Body for the EU Institutions staff, or directly from the data subject for the self-registered individuals. </p> 5.
