What is our legal framework?

All personal data are processed in accordance with EU Data Protection Law, that is to say in line with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the 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 (OJ L 295, 21.11.2018, p. 39).

Why do we process personal data?

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

Your personal data are being processed by the ECB:

Limited categories of personal data (user name, email address, meeting password, name of billing contact/department, duration of meeting, meeting host name, log-in time/date) are processed by Cisco Systems for billing and troubleshooting purposes.
  • because you consent to the processing by providing the personal data requested. Participation in Webex meetings is voluntary, and you can withdraw your consent at any time by ceasing to use the service. Future processing of your personal information will stop once you have withdrawn your consent, but processing of personal data based on Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 will remain lawful.

Where are your data transferred to, processed and stored?

Your data are/will be:

  • processed by Cisco Systems (including its US subsidiaries for billing information only) and its partners located in all countries where Cisco and Cisco partners perform troubleshooting, based on

    • Cisco’s Binding Corporate Rules – Controller (BCR-C) which provide that transfers made by Cisco worldwide of European personal information benefit from adequate safeguards.

How long will the ECB and Cisco Systems keep personal data?
