How We Protect the Information

We have put in place appropriate measures that are designed to prevent unauthorised access to, and misuse of, your personal data. These include reasonable measures to deal with any suspected data breach.

We are committed to the appropriate ongoing security and confidentiality of personal data by taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the personal data that we hold from accidental or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access by unauthorised persons. We do this by having in place a range of appropriate technical and organisational measures.

There is always risk involved in sending information through any channel over the internet. You send information over the internet entirely at your own risk. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted over the internet and we do not warrant the security of any information, including personal data, which you transmit to us over the internet.

If you suspect any misuse or loss of or unauthorised access to your personal data please let us know immediately. If you think that EBRD did not process your personal data in accordance with the PDPR, you can submit a complaint to the Personal Data Review Panel in accordance with the EBRD Personal Data Complaint Review Procedure.

For further information about EBRD's obligations in respect of the security and confidentiality of personal data, please see Section IV, paragraph 4 of the EBRD Personal Data Protection Directive, the Information Security Policy and its implementing acts.

How Long We Keep the Information

Your personal data will be kept only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.

In determining the appropriate retention period for different types of personal data, we always consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data in question, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of that personal data, the purposes for which we need to process it and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means (in addition of course to ensuring that we comply with our obligations under our policies, directives and procedures, as described above).

Once we have determined that we no longer need to hold your personal data, we will delete it from our Systems.

How do we store and transfer your data internationally?

In connection with the purposes described in this External Privacy Notice, your personal data may be transferred to the following recipients located outside of your jurisdiction:

·       To other EBRD offices (including the London Headquarters and Resident Offices); 

·       To third parties (such as advisers to EBRD and suppliers to our business or providers of benefits); and 

·       To a cloud-based storage provider.

Please note that some of these third parties may, in turn, transfer your data internationally.

We want to make sure that your personal data is stored and transferred in a way which is secure. We will therefore only transfer data internationally to third parties where they comply with a standard of protection of personal data equivalent to at least the level of protection established by the PDPR.
