eu-LISA is committed to user privacy
We understand that you are aware of and care about your personal privacy interests, and we take that seriously. The processing of an individual's personal data carried out by the European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu-LISA) is performed in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 on the protection of personal data by the European Union's institutions and bodies.
This Notice describes eu-LISA's policies and practices regarding its collection and use of your personal data, and sets forth your privacy rights. We recognise that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and we will update this Notice as we undertake new personal data practices or adopt new privacy policies.
You can browse the eu-LISA website without having to give any information about yourself. However, in some cases, personal information is required in order to provide the e-services you request.
Pages that require such information are setup according to the policy described in Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, and provide information about the use of your data in their specific privacy notices:
For each specific e-service, a controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data and ensures conformity of the specific e-service with the privacy policy;
Within eu-LISA the Data Protection Officer ensures that the provisions of the Regulation are applied and advises controllers on fulfilling their obligations (see Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725);
For all the European Institutions, the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) will act as an independent supervisory authority (see Articles 52 to 58 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725);
You can find a collection of privacy notices for each specific processing operation listed below.
eu-LISA's website provides links to third-party sites. Since eu-LISA does not control these sites, it encourages you to review these site's own privacy policies.
What is an e-service?

Transaction services that allow access to all basic forms of transactions with eu-LISA such as procurement, financial operations, recruitment, event registration, etc.
