ENCJ Privacy Policy and Personal Data Protection

The European Network of Councils for the Judiciary (ENCJ) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

 

This Policy explains when and why we collect personal information about people who visit our website, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

We may change this Policy from time to time so please check this page occasionally to ensure that you’re happy with any changes. By using our website, you’re agreeing to be bound by this Policy.

Any questions regarding this Policy and our privacy practices should be sent by email to office@encj.eu . The rules on processing of personal data are set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).
 

Who are we?

The ENCJ gathers the Councils for the Judiciary, or similar autonomous bodies in the European Union. We are classed under the GDPR regulations as a data controller. That means we decide how your personal data we receive is processed and for what purposes. The ENCJ is a registered international not-for-profit association, in accordance with Belgian Law (registration number 0894.930.512).

 

Use of www.encj.eu
The ENCJ website uses Google Analytics to help analyse how users use the site. Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate visitors use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity.

ENCJ will never (and will not allow any third party) to use the statistical analytics tool to track or to collect any personally identifiable information of visitors to our site. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Neither we nor Google will link, or seek to link, an IP address with the identity of a computer user. We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any personally identifying information from any source.

 Security precautions in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

 Profiling

No profiling takes place.

This privacy policy applies only to our website‚ so we encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from our website.

In addition, if you linked to our website from a third party site, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third party site and recommend that you check the policy of that third party site.
