Personal Data Protection Policy

The EBRD Personal Data Protection Policy and Directive were approved by the EBRD in 2021 and came into effect on the date of their approval.

The EBRD Personal Data Protection Policy sets out the core principles relating to personal data protection followed by the EBRD and it applies to all personal data processed by or on behalf of the Bank.

The EBRD Personal Data Protection Directive, which sits underneath the aforementioned Policy, sets out the rights and obligations of data subjects and the Bank in relation to processing of personal data.

The Personal Data Protection Policy and Directive are supported by the Personal Data Complaint Review Procedure and the Data Subject Requests Procedure.

  • The Personal Data Complaint Review Procedure sets out the process to be followed for complaints by data subjects who consider that the Bank has failed to process their personal data in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Policy and its implementing acts.

  • The Data Subject Requests Procedure sets out the process that should be followed by the data subjects and the EBRD when they request review, rectification or supplementing of their personal data and by the EBRD when dealing with such requests.
