When handling personal data, the EEAS respects the rules on the protection of personal data laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 (EUDPR) which defines the principles and obligations for European institutions, bodies, offices and agencies. The EUDPR is aligned with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In accordance with the provisions of the EU data protection legislation and in particular Article 31 of EUDPR, data controllers maintain a record of personal data processing activities. Each institution also appoints a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Data controllers cooperate with the DPO. In addition to the records kept by the data controller entities, the EEAS DPO also keeps a central register.

The Records Register provides information on the processing of personal data related to various activities by the EEAS along with the EU Delegations. The e-DPO system, the electronic data protection records management tool of the EEAS is in the process of revision. Content of this page is gradually updated taking into account the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.

More information on how the EEAS processes personal data is available at the EEAS website on data protection. The EEAS DPO can be contacted via data-protection [at] eeas.europa.eu.
