Data protection notice (updated May 2020)

The European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) is committed to respecting the privacy of personal data processed by Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management software (called SRM) implemented at ERA. In this framework, all personal data provided by stakeholders (contacts) are dealt with in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC (hereafter EUI Data Protection Regulation).

The following data protection information notice outlines the criteria by which ERA collects, manages and uses the personal data of its stakeholders.

Identity of Controller:

Head of Unit EXO

Purpose of processing:

ERA processes personal data of stakeholders to:

• Facilitate contacts, consultation, review of work progress, as well as exchange of information and views between the Agency and its stakeholders
• Organise and manage events, meetings or other activities, (including reimbursement)
• Manage access to ERA extranet, registers and to the One-Stop Shop
• Inform about ERA’s activities
• Manage online surveys on specific topics relating to our activities

ERA has identified two main types of stakeholders:

• Engaged stakeholders: have an inherent interest in, and influence on, the activities and governance of ERA (EU) 2016/796
• Generic stakeholders: everybody who are no engaged stakeholder but have an interest in the ERA activities.

Type of data processed:

The following personal data may be collected:

• Personal details: first name, last name, category, user name, job title, organisation/company name, e-mail address(es), phone(s), , country, address, picture,
• Financial details: bank account information, supporting evidence submitted for reimbursement (only for entitled stakeholders)

In addition, the stakeholder can select communication preferences by subscribing to the following subscription lists:

• Agency newsletter
• Surveys relevant to ERA activities
• Ad-hoc information
• Invitations to events

ERA can make connections with other contacts (e.g. hierarchical relationship) in order to classify them and establish marketing lists.

The collected data are classified in stakeholder categories, companies/organisations, workgroups and marketing lists.

The Agency’s SRM system has an integrated Outlook client which means that the content of emails can be viewed or stored in the SRM system.

Communications made via the SRM also allow scores about frequency of interactions of the contact with the system, e.g. registration to events.

By working through SRM, the Agency and the contact are able to build up a profile and this can be further enhanced through the use of website cookies.

Recipients of the data processed:

Personal data stored in the SRM may be accessed by ERA staff and contractors under the direct supervision of ERA staff.

Data records found not to meet applied standards are deleted.

From time to time, in order to validate data or in relation to particular campaigns (e.g. user satisfaction surveys carried out on behalf of ERA or focus groups), contact details (name, emails, addresses) may be transferred to third parties provided that an adequate level of protection (within the meaning of Article 9 of the Regulation (EU) 2018/1725) is ensured, in particular where the Controller adduces adequate safeguards (e.g. use of appropriate contractual clauses) with respect to the protection of the privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects concerned.

How are my data processed by SRM?

• Contact details are either entered into the SRM system manually by ERA staff or by the stakeholder him/herself via the web interface or the One/Stop Shop
• All ERA staff has editing rights to manage contacts as in accordance with good SRM practice and guidelines
• Contact details may be gathered from publicly-available lists such as those relating to Members of the European Parliament, European Commission officials etc. and are also gathered through direct contact with an Agency staff member whether it is by email, telephone, business card or face-to-face meeting
• Where a new contact is entered into the SRM, s/he will receive an email to indicate that the Agency would like to enter his/her data in its contact database. This email informs the data subject of this intention and provides a hyperlink to lead the data subject through to a variety of options including the possibility to decline the invitation or, if the data subject agrees to be included in the SRM, to complete or rectify his contact details and his subscription preferences. Without any action from the stakeholder, the profile will be deleted.
• The contacts are under constant review to ensure accuracy of data
• The contacts are requested to update themselves their data and preferences on a regular basis

Legal basis and Lawfulness of processing:

Legal basis: The SRM supports the actions which have to be undertaken by the Agency in the context of Articles 5 and 39 of Regulation (EU) 2016/796 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the European Union Agency for Railways

ERA Head of Finance and Procurement Unit.

Purpose of processing

The Agency is using the Commission accounting system ABAC, which includes the centrally validated "Legal Entity File" and "Bank Account File", to make or receive payments.

This processing operation is related to personal data that may be included in the Legal Entities File (LEF) that records all third parties with which the Agency conducts revenue and expenditure transactions.  The Bank Account File (BAF) is a descriptive file containing bank details for all companies, organisations and individuals with which the Agency has financial dealings.  Bank account related data are registered in a SWIFT compatible manner.

No transaction may be made for the purposes of implementing the budget unless it involves a legal entity (LE) that has been validated beforehand. It follows that before a bank account (BA) can be recorded in the BAF, a LE must be recorded in the ABAC application: the bank account will be linked to that legal entity.

A LE and/or a BA will not be recorded in the Agency's accounts until the legal entity validation team (LEVT) or the bank account validation team (BAVT) within DG BUDG has validated the authorising department's request, which must be accompanied by the relevant supporting documents.

The validation of the LEF and the BAF is a pre-requisite before any transaction may be made for the purposes of implementing the budget.

Each validated legal entity and bank account record is identified by a unique key.  These keys are used by authorising officers' services when preparing financial and contractual transactions.

Type of data processed

The data, including personal data that may be processed are as follows:

• data subjects:
  • Private person or Staff member;
  • Private companies represented by natural persons;
  • Public entities represented by natural persons.
• personal data:
  • Bank details : Name in which the bank account has been opened, Address declared with the bank (street, number, town, postcode, country), Bank name, Bank Branch address (if needed), Bank account number (IBAN if existing), Branch code (for certain countries), Date and signature;
  • LEF Personal details: name, first name, permanent address, ID card/passport number, date and place of birth, personnel number (for staff only).

Appropriate organizational and technical security measures will be ensured according to the data protection legislation applicable to EU institutions and bodies.

The forms and documents sent for central validation of the LEF and BAF are added in the payment file. Electronic data is kept within the ABAC WKFL system

The data collected in the Agency’s accounts can be accessed by designated agency staff + staff from the Commision’s central services, using a UserID and a Password. A Service Level Agreement guarantees the appropriate confidentiality and the technical and organisational security of the ABAC system, as required by the applicable data protection provisions.

Recipients of the data processed

The recipients of the personal data are:

• Inside ERA:
  • Authorised Agency’s staff dealing with financial and accounting matters have access to your data;
• Inside EUIs:
  • DG BUDG's central validation team dealing with financial and accounting matters have access to the data;
• Outside EUIs:
  • As the Agency is using the European Commission’s system SWIFT Network, for executing its payments, your bank particulars will also be sent to this company whenever a payment is made in to the beneficiary.

All recipients of the data are reminded of their obligation not to use the data for any further purpose other than the ones for which they were collected.

The personal information collected will not be communicated to third parties, except where necessary for the purposes outlined and to the entities identified above.

Personal data is not intended to be transferred to a third country outside the EU.

This Notice outlines the criteria by which the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) collects and processes personal data in the context of ECVVR. It is a system composed of:

• a search engine – Virtual Vehicle Register (VVR)- allowing users to access information related to registrations of railway vehicles in EU;
• a standard National Vehicle Register – sNVR – that EU Member States can use to manage their data;
• a National Vehicle Register Translation Engine – NVR-TE – integrating an existing IT system for railway vehicles registration at national level with the VVR.

Therefore, ECVVR can be considered as a search engine on distributed rail vehicles-related data, using a common software application, which allows users to retrieve data from all the registers in the Member States.

Concerning the personal data managed at Member State level, through the so called Standard National Vehicle Register (“sNVR”) sub-system and other NVRs subsystems using NVR-TE (translation engine), they shall follow the national rules in matters of data protection. Consequently Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) shall be applied.

The entity responsible for managing such personal data processing is the Head of Analysis and Monitoring Unit.

Purpose of the processing operation

The purpose of processing is to allow REs as listed in point 3.3 of the Annex I of the Commission Decision 2007/756/EC to access the EU vehicles data -via web authentication. By the registration of their own personal data each user is able to access the information system and to manage data according to their own access rights ensuring the appropriate level of security.

Data Processed

The types of data, including personal data that may be processed are as follows:

• data to identify and contact the user: first name, last name, e-mail address, organisation name

The European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) is committed to respecting the privacy of personal data processed during webinars it organises. In this framework, all personal data provided by stakeholders (contacts) are dealt with in compliance with (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC (hereafter EUI Data Protection Regulation).

This privacy statement outlines the criteria by which ERA collects, manages and uses the personal data of its stakeholders when organising webinars.

Identity of Controller:

Head of Unit EXO

Who is conducting the processing:

ERA Staff
Third Party: only when using the SRM (see below): Microsoft Dynamics CRM Click Dimensions

Purpose of processing:

As direct meetings with stakeholders are not possible during the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, the Agency has introduced a webinar concept to promote its activities remotely. It may continue to offer webinars after the pandemic as well.

Webinars are regarded as online events.

Webinars are organised using Microsoft Skype for Business Broadcast and participation is anonymous. Participants can ask questions in the chat anonymously or may choose an alias. The link to access the webinar is made available on the ERA website and is unique for each event. In addition invitations are sent using the Agency’s Stakeholder Relationship Management CRM-tool, SRM. SRM is also used for follow up. (Data Protection Notice - Stakeholder Relationship Management)

Description of data subjects and personal data categories:

ERA has identified two main types of stakeholders:

• Engaged stakeholders: have an inherent interest in, and influence on, the activities and governance of ERA (EU) 2016/796
• Generic stakeholders: everybody who are no engaged stakeholder but have an interest in the ERA activities.

ERA gathers no personal data about the participants of the webinars.

The webinar is recorded to make it available for streaming (not downloading) from the ERA website after the broadcasting. No personal data are collected from the persons streaming this video. Questions asked by the participants during the broadcasting are excluded from this video. They are edited and added anonymously to the FAQ on the website.

In addition, via links displayed on the dedicated webinar web page:

• Participants can order documentation via a link to a web form (active web contents in SRM). We need their contact details to be able to send them the documentation. Their contact details will be automatically deleted after 60 days.
• Participants can sign in to the SRM and select subscription preferences for receiving ERA communications in the future.
• Participants can give anonymous feedback via a link to a web survey (in SRM).

Only when requesting documentation after the webinar, the SRM collects the following personal data: first name, last name, email address.

If the webinar participant agrees that his/her data are kept in the ERA database and in addition selects subscription preferences he/she will be directed to the sign in-portal of SRM and the workflow of SRM applies. (DP Notice - SRM)

Retention period:

Personal data taken from data subjects ordering documentation about the webinar will be deleted within 60 days if requested by the data subject.

Recipients of the data processed:

ERA processes no personal data of the persons that participate in the webinar broadcast or that stream the website video after it has been made available on the website. For invitations to the webinar and follow up the SRM is used and the DP Notice - SRM applies.

Transfer to third countries or International Organisations:

No

How are my data stored and processed?

ERA processes no personal data of the persons that participate in the webinar broadcast or that stream the website video after it has been made available on the website. For invitations to the webinar and follow up the SRM is used and the DP Notice - SRM applies.
