Use of mobile telephones - European Central Bank
Opinion of 26 February 2007 on a notification for prior checking on investigation procedures regarding the use of mobile telephones (Case 2004-272)
The EDPS has issued an opinion on this procedure which concludes that on a general basis the procedure complies with the principles established in the data protection regulation. However the EDPS did make some recommendations mainly as concerns the conservation periods for storing the data and information on the processing of personal data to be included in the administrative circular. The circular is currently in the process of modification and will reflect these recommendations accordingly. The EDPS also recommended that should the data be used for statistical purposes, the reference to the phone number should be removed from the monthly reports.
