Data Protection Officer

In accordance with the EUDPR, all EU Institutions, bodies, offices and agencies are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”).

The DPO also cooperates with the network of other DPOs across the European Institutions and bodies.

At any moment data subjects may contact the DPO, for any complaint, question or issue related to the processing of personal data, at dpo@chips-ju.europa.eu.

Without prejudice to any other remedy, data subjects who consider that their rights under the EUDPR have been infringed as a result of the processing of their personal data by the Chips JU have the right to lodge a complaint with the European Data Protection Supervisor .
