AECA Privacy Policy
AECA (American European Community Association) is a non-profit Brussels-based International Association which provides a neutral forum for senior members of the international business, political, government and diplomatic communities to meet and engage in meaningful debates on a wide range of policy issues.
In accordance with the high standards for data privacy introduced by the new European data protection law known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), AECA is committed to being open about its policies and practices with respect to the handling of personal information.
This Privacy Policy is designed to explain in a clear, transparent and accessible manner how personal data is managed at AECA.
1. Personal Data: Which personal data does AECA collect and process?
AECA only gathers in its database personal data of leading business leaders and senior policy-makers for the purpose of inviting them to exclusive events, sending them information about AECA events and keeping them updated on its activities.
This information, obtained through individual contacts, includes name, business title, company/organization, current and prior functions, general contact information as well as policy of interest.
We also keep for our records data regarding individual participation in past AECA events as a member, prospective member, sponsor, speaker or simple attendee.
No sensitive data (such as health-related data or bank account details) are asked or stored.
Our website (www.aeca.org) does not use cookies.
2. No commercial purpose
We do not use your data for commercial purposes nor do we share it with any third party.
Your data will therefore never be transferred to any third party neither in Europe nor outside Europe.
