EFIC and your personal data
Privacy policy
EFIC collects:
- questions, queries or feedback you leave, including your email address if you contact EFIC;
- your name, job title, organisation name and country if you register for one of our events. For events held in the European Parliament, attendees without a permanent access pass need to send us their nationality, date of birth and i.d. or passport number which is then shared with the European Parliament security services.
- your email address and subscription preferences when you sign up to our email alerts, and how you use our emails – for example whether you open them and which links you click on
- information on how you use the site, using cookies and page tagging techniques
This data can be viewed by authorised people in EFIC to:
- improve the site by monitoring how you use it;
- manage our event registrations and contact you about events you have registered for;
- gather feedback to improve our services
Where your data is stored
We use Microsoft Office 365 to manage our emails and store data. Our mailing list database is stored with MailChimp and event registrations are recorded using Google Sheets.
Disclosing your information
