OLAF provides online privacy notices to inform all individuals on the handling of personal data of in the framework of the OLAF processing operations in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 and Commission decision 2018/1962.

The OLAF processing operations are further described by a dedicated public register of records of processing operations that you can consult online. This public register is maintained by the Data Protection Officer (DPO) of OLAF.

In addition, in the context of investigations, individual privacy notices are provided to individuals who are considered relevant under Art. 3 (2) of the Commission Decision 2018/1962: persons concerned, witnesses and informants.
