1. Description.
An e-Service is made available on web pages in order to offer access to the JRC AGRI4CAST Data Portal
service. E-Services are tools on internet websites of the Joint Research Centre (JRC), enabling public users to maintain a private space on the internet
where they can request data from the AGRI4CAST data portal tailored to the user needs and save such data queries for future re-use. Personal data will be
collected and further processed for the purposes detailed hereafter under point 2. This processing of personal data is under the responsibility of the Head
of Unit of the thematic coordination at the JRC. The Head of Food Security Unit at the Directorate of Sustainable Resources, who manages the processing
itself, acts as personal data processor. As this processing collects and further processes personal data, Regulation (EC) 45/2001 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community
institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data is applicable.
