Page contents Page contents Introduction The Secretariat-General of the European Commission acts as delegated controller on behalf of the European Commission for a number of personal data processing operations. The majority of these processing operations have dedicated internal or external webpages or IT applications through which data subjects are informed of the processing by means of a data protecting notice. However, a limited number of processing operations do not have a dedicated interface through which data subjects could be guided to the data protecting notice. These processing operations and their respective data protecting notices are listed below. Where possible, the controller in correspondence with the data subjects provides a hyperlink to the corresponding data protecting notice published below.
