Processing operations to manage calls for tenders - ETF

Opinion of 22 April 2010 on a notification for prior checking regarding the processing operations to manage calls for tenders (Case 2009-0037)

ETF manages calls for tenders in the context of which personal data are processed.  The purpose of the data processing is to evaluate the professional capacity of the individuals mentioned in each tender.   The EDPS suggested, among others, that ETF: 

• Considers whether it may be possible to delete the personal data (mainly CVs) contained in the winning tender earlier than the five years conservation period;
• Reconsiders the need to keep the information about tenders that have not been successful for five years.
