Privacy Policy

OVERVIEW

KAICIID is committed to processing personal data in an accountable and non-discriminatory manner.

As an autonomous intergovernmental organization, enjoying privileges and immunities, KAICIID is not bound by national or regional data protection legislation, such as the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Instead, KAICIID processes, or ensures the processing of, personal data for the pursuit of its mandate in accordance with its own internal Policy on the Protection of Personal Data.

In line with this Policy, KAICIID processes personal data in accordance with KAICIID’s Principles on Personal Data Protection and Privacy (“Principles”) set out below. Nothing in or relating to these Principles shall constitute a waiver, express or implied, of any of the privileges and immunities of KAICIID under its Establishment Agreement, its Headquarters Agreement with Portugal, or public international law.

The Principles are based on the “Personal Data Protection and Privacy Principles”, adopted by the UN High-Level Committee on Management (HLCM) at its 36th Meeting on 11 October 2018, which can be found at https://www.unsystem.org/privacy-principles.
