For additional information about ECFR, our activities, and the details of authorised representatives, please refer to the imprint on our website.

ECFR data protection officer

European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) e.V. has appointed a data protection officer (DPO). In case of any queries, you can reach the DPO using the contact details above and adding “attn of the DPO” or via e-mail: [email protected]

What personal data will we process and for which purposes? Do we share any personal data for these purposes?

Business relationships

We will collect your personal data to enable us to satisfactorily conduct our business relationship with you, whether as a supplier, service provider, consultant, or other business partner. We will only process relevant contact, contract, payment, and invoice data.

Where necessary, your personal data may be shared with other business partners engaged with the same project.

If you receive payments from ECFR, we may need to document this in expense reporting to our donors for our projects or programmes. We will keep this to a minimum, disclosing only your name, title, affiliation, and the funding amount.

E-mail

If you communicate with us via e-mail, the personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. We will, of course, use the data from your e-mails exclusively for the purpose for which you provide them to us when contacting us.

Travel arrangements

We may collect personal data from you to be able to make travel arrangements for you, for instance if you are a speaker at one of our events. We only collect such data as is essential to book your trip or hotel. Usually this will be your name, date of birth, e-mail and sometimes your mobile number, as well as of course the dates, destinations and cause of travel.

Stakeholder overview

We keep a contact database of stakeholders and press members relevant to European foreign policy as it is essential for our work to remain up to date on relevant decision-makers at the national and the pan-European levels. We collect personal data such as your name, e-mail address, affiliation, job title, and communication preferences. We also classify contacts by location, field of interest, expertise, employer, position, and department.

Newsletters, campaign mailouts, and event invitations

One of our main objectives as an international think-tank is to promote awareness about our publications, analyses, and other content. Therefore, we regularly send out newsletters, campaign mailouts, event invitations, and media advisories. We also keep a record of which mailouts have been sent to which contacts. We aim to send these to any contacts whom we assume to be interested in our work. We will always try to send you information that we think may be interesting and relevant to your field of work. You may object to some or any of these mailouts at any time by following the link at the bottom of each e-mail. You can also contact us by post or email using the above contact details.

For more details about our newsletter registration process and the data collected to document your consent and when we track open and click rates, please refer to the relevant section of our website privacy policy here.

Polls and interviews

We have an extensive network of consultants and experts throughout Europe who conduct research, via interviews and opinion polls, to draft policy reports and various publications.

All the data collected from the polling and survey tools we use for our research – for example country, category of employer, and personal insights – will be anonymised, although we may sometimes ask you directly to voluntarily provide your contact information so that we may gain more insight. Your personal contact information is always kept separately from any polling or survey results and cannot be correlated.

In the case of more extensive interviews, our partners may record your name or position and take minutes of the conversation. You will always be informed of this in advance and will be able to withdraw your consent or object directly to our partners.

Events and meetings

In the course of hosting events, whether online or in-person, we will process your personal data to prepare, organise, and host the event. This includes your name, e-mail address, affiliation, job title, RSVP status, invitation status, whether you attend the event, as well as other contact or registration details if provided. We process these data to keep track of registrations, to allow us to keep you updated about details relating to the event (such as topics, speakers, and schedules), and to ensure a diverse and relevant audience.

Registered participants may be entered into our database so we may contact them about similar future events. If you do not want to receive event invitations from us, you may object by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or by replying to the event invitation, without incurring costs other than the basic transmission costs.

Photos, audio and video

We may take photos and recordings at our events and may use these later to report about our activities or raise awareness on our website, on social media and in other print or online formats.

If you do not wish your image to be taken or used, you may object at any time before, during, or after the event, for example, by contacting us via e-mail or otherwise using the above contact details.

We may film in-person or online events to provide them to a wider audience, for instance, by livestreaming them on our YouTube channel.

In some cases, at in-person events, we use external providers such as photographers or videographers. We also use a service called Buffer to schedule posts and tweets on social media, which means that any content published on social media may be transmitted to Buffer.

Lists of participants

Usually, ECFR keeps a list with names and affiliations of confirmed participants. This list, together with the final agenda of the event, is often circulated to participants, speakers, and donors who provide funding for the event. A list of participants and their affiliation displayed at the event helps with networking – especially for smaller-scale high-level activities.

If an event is on the record, the content of the discussion and the speakers can be disclosed publicly. For sessions taking place under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speakers can and will be shared. For off-the-record events, no information on the discussion can and will be shared. 

External venues

If we host an event at an external venue, such as an embassy, we may be required to share a list of registered participants with the venue prior to the event, so that the venue can implement an access checks.

Meetings

We will process such data as is required to hold both online and in-person meetings. This includes your name, e-mail address, affiliation, job title and usually the date and topics of the meeting.

Online events and meetings

Use of video conferencing tools leads to the processing of various personal data, the scope of which is partly dependent on what details you enter before and during your participation in an online event.

You are not, however, obliged to visit the provider’s website other than for the initial download of the video conferencing application.
  • You can use the video conferencing tools by entering the meeting ID and any other login details for the meeting directly within the application.
  • If you prefer to participate without installing an application, you may use the video services in your browser via the respective website for online meetings held with Zoom or Teams. However, in this case, you will only be able to use the basic functionalities.

  • If you participate via your phone: incoming and outgoing phone number, country, time of start and end of call. Additional connection data may be stored, such as the IP-address of your device.
  • Text, audio and video data: If you use the chat, question, or survey tool during an online meeting, the text you enter will be used to display during the meeting and possibly to document the meeting. To enable the display of your video or broadcasting of your audio, data provided by your camera or microphone will be processed. You may mute the microphone or turn off the camera at any time within the Zoom application or in your browser.

If you are registered as a Zoom user, Zoom may store reports about online meetings containing data such as metadata, data about calling in via phone or questions, answers and surveys in webinars for up to 12 months.

Online recordings will be deleted when we no longer need to keep the recordings. As a rule, we will conduct a yearly check of which recordings can be deleted. All other meeting data will be deleted within 48 hours of the meeting’s conclusion.

Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a service provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd. Microsoft is our data processor. We have agreed a data processing agreement with Microsoft, and Microsoft will store this data on servers in the UK.

The following data will be processed:

  • User details: display name, e-mail address (optional), profile picture (optional), preferred language
  • Contents: topics and contents of the online meeting, including chat messages and shared files

Funding applications

We will only collect and process such personal data from (potential) donors we need to apply for and secure funding, to manage funding contracts, and to enable us to track the use of funds and report to our donors and/or public authorities as required.

Usually this will only be your contact data, for example, your name, address, email address, telephone number, mobile number, and affiliation. If you take part in meetings related to funding applications or ongoing grants, we will document the time, place, and purpose of these meetings, as well as what was discussed. This may include a transcript of our conversation so that we can report to our senior management team and our trustees.

You are under no obligation to provide any personal data unless otherwise stipulated in any funding agreements or if we are legally bound to collect this data. However, if you refuse to provide the required personal data, it may become difficult or unfeasible for us to continue with the project you are engaged with.

How long will we store your personal data for?

We will keep your personal data for as long as it is required to fulfil the above purposes.

Information stored in personal profiles in our database is usually kept for as long as you hold your position or professional affiliation, and we assume that ECFR publications and activities are relevant to you. We carry out regular reviews to ensure that any information that becomes outdated or irrelevant is promptly removed from our database.

Insofar as statutory storage obligations exist, we must take these into account and will store your data, with access restricted, for an adequate period.

Travel profiles

We will store and maintain your guest travel profile (if we have created one for you) for as long as it makes reasonable sense. You may ask us to delete the profile at any time. We make an effort to review travel profiles from time to time to ensure that unused profiles will be deleted.

Events

If you are in our database or we enter you into our database, we will usually store information about the event there, such as the fact that we invited you or that you registered or took part in an event. Information stored in personal profiles in the database is usually stored for as long as you hold your position or affiliation and we assume that ECFR activities are relevant to you. We conduct regular reviews to ensure that if information becomes outdated or outlives its purpose, it is removed from our database.

Online meeting recordings may be stored both on our servers or on servers hosted by the respective provider and will be deleted when we no longer need to keep the recordings. As a rule, we conduct a yearly check of which recordings can be deleted.

We will store lists of participants in ECFR events internally and delete them when they are no longer required for our documentation of the event. Usually lists of participants will be deleted within ten years of the project ending.

Where specific retention periods apply related to personal data processed by the respective video conferencing tools, we kindly ask you to refer to the information provided above for the relevant software tools.

Council Membership

We will keep your personal data for as long as it is required to fulfil the above purposes. Usually this will be the period of your appointment as a Council Member. After your Council membership expires, we will ask you to join our Council alumni community and, if you agree, keep your contact details.

We store data of nominees until the ECFR Board of Trustees has taken its final decision, as described above.

Board Membership

We will keep your personal data for as long as it is required to fulfil the above purposes. Usually, this will be the period of your appointment as a Trustee.

Where will your personal data be processed?

We process your personal data on dedicated IT systems and within our premises both in the EU and the UK. We also use software and service providers who host and process personal data for ECFR both in the EU and the UK.

While the UK is no longer part of the EU, the European Commission has reached an adequacy decision according to article 45 of the GDPR for the UK, meaning that the level of data protection in the UK is considered to be of an adequate level.

Insofar as donors or prospects are based outside the EU, your personal data detailed above may be transmitted to these countries. Where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists, as is the case for countries like the United States, the level of data protection may not be on a par with that provided by the GDPR. In particular, foreign authorities may be able to access your personal data, and you may not be able to ensure legal recourse. In these cases, the transfer of your personal data, while being kept to a strict minimum, will be based on the contract you enter into as part of your registration for the event or required in the context of your membership of the ECFR Council or your appointment to the Board of Trustees and thus occur based on the legal derogation of Art. 49 (1) lit. b GDPR.

Data processed by cloud service providers may in certain cases, such as support requests, be transferred to regions outside the EU. The providers we contract have agreed the standard contractual clauses – as published by the European Commission with their affiliates and sub processors as an appropriate safeguard according to article 46 GDPR and UK GDPR to ensure the safety of your personal data. These Standard Contractual Clauses are available here and are valid in the processor-to-processor variant (module 3).

Are you obliged to provide your personal data?

You are under no obligation to provide personal data to ECFR unless otherwise stipulated in any relevant contracts or where we are legally obliged to collect this data. For instance, you are obliged to provide any personal data we are required by law to collect, such as personal data needed to verify you with our bank or agreed in our contract with you, for example to identify you as a Trustee.

However, even where you are not obliged to provide personal data, we may not be able to continue our collaboration with you on any given project or specific activity without the required personal data.

Your rights

You have the right to information about how ECFR processes your personal data. In the case of a request for information which is not addressed to us in writing, we may ask you to provide further proof of identity.

Furthermore, you have the right to correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data to the extent to which you are legally entitled to such rights.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data within the scope of the statutory provisions, see above.

You have a right to data portability, again within the scope of the statutory provisions.

To exercise your rights, we kindly ask that you address any queries to European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) e.V., either by post or email (see our contact details above). 

Right to complain

You have the right to complain to the data protection supervisory authorities both in the EU and in the UK about our processing of your personal data.
