Training SYSLOG - Commission

Opinion of 16 January 2009 on a notification for prior checking on the management of Central and Local Training SYSLOG Formation (Case 2008-481)

SYSLOG is the administrative management tool for training at the European Commission in three fields: informatics, language and general. It is managed by DG ADMIN. However, some data processing also takes place within each Directorate-General by its training manager (COFO) and informatics training manager (REFOI).

The EDPD considers that the data processing is in line with Regulation 45/2001 but advises DG ADMIN among others to: (1) Set up reasonable time limits for dealing with requests from data subjects exercising their right of access and, (2) Set up procedures to provide the privacy policy to staff members working for agencies/bodies with no access to SYSLOG.
