Privacy Policy

Personal Data Protection

The European Union Blacklist – hereby also referred to as “The EUB”, “EU Blacklist”, “EUB”, “Us”, “We” or “Our”) is committed to user privacy.

The policy on protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions is based on Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons 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.

This general policy covers the EUB’s family of institutional websites, within the eublacklist.org domain. Although you can browse through most of these websites without giving any personal information, in some cases information is required in order to provide the e-services you request. Websites that require such information treat it in full compliance with the regulation mentioned above and provide information about the use of your data in their specific privacy policy statements.

In this respect:

  • for each e-service, a controller determines the purposes and means of personal data processing and ensures conformity with the privacy policy
  • within each institution, and a Data Protection Officer ensures that the provisions of the regulation are applied and advises controllers on fulfilling their obligations

The EUB’s family of institutional websites, including those within the eublacklist.org domain, may provide links to third party sites. In order to use third party content on our websites, you may need to accept their specific terms and conditions, including their cookie policies, over which we have no control.

E-service

The European Union Blacklist is a Non-Profit organisation which has been established to maintain a list of both Grey-Listed and Black-Listed companies and individuals. We work with a variety of global banks, institutions and corporations on an invitation only basis.

An e-service on eublacklist.org is a service and resource available to our partnered institutions. The EUB was formed in order to maintain a trusted database of companies and individuals on an impartial basis, and our datasets are shared with Banks, Institutions, Governments, NGOs in Europe, the United States, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. the EUB maintains a 500-Point Ledger which highlights several defaults or complaints that can be made of any company, corporate or individual. This list can only be accessed by our partnered institutions, and is not available to the general public.

3 types of e-services are, or will be, offered by EUB’s family of institutional websites to our partnered institutions:

  • information services
  • interactive communication services that facilitate policy consultations and feedback
  • services that are accessible to associated entities, including procurement, financial operations, event enrolment, and acquisition of documents

Information contained in a specific privacy statement

A specific privacy policy statement will contain the following information about the use of your data:

  • what information is collected, for what purpose and the technical means by which EUB collects personal information in order to fulfil a specific purpose
  • what security measures are taken to safeguard your information
  • whom to contact if you have queries or complaints

Contacting EUB sites
