Protection of personal data
Personal data are collected in the context of the organisation of visits in order for visits to take place under optimal conditions (efficiency of contacts and exchanges of correspondence, preparation of a visit programme suitable for the language, level of knowledge and interests of visitors). Those data are handled by the Protocol and Visits Directorate for the period necessary for the organisation and running of the visit and are erased six years after the visit at the latest. They are communicated only to visit organisers (visitors concerned, Protocol and Visits Directorate), to the members of staff who meet visitors, to the Interpretation Directorate if interpretation is necessary and, if required, to the bodies competent to carry out checks under the legislation.
Under Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, you have the right to access data concerning you and, if necessary, to have corrections made to those data.
For any additional information in that regard or to access data held, please contact the Protocol and Visits Directorate. You may also contact the European Data Protection Supervisor at any time.
Video surveillance and video recording
In order to ensure the protection of persons entering its buildings and that of the items and information which it holds, the Court of Justice has installed a video surveillance system for the interior and exterior of the sites which it occupies. The pictures recorded are retained for a limited period and are accessible only to a restricted number of authorised persons.
Recording of images and surveillance by camera are carried out in compliance with the legislation relating to the protection of personal data and privacy. Specific pictograms placed near the areas covered announce the presence of the video surveillance system.

Access control
The Court of Justice has a system for controlling access to and inside its buildings in order to limit the risks of intrusion or malicious acts which might be committed and thus to ensure the security of persons, information and property.
The access control system is implemented on the basis of the internal security rules adopted by the institution.
