Privacy statement for virtual lectures
The virtual lectures are organised by the Directorate General Communications (DG/C) of the ECB and hosted via an external dedicated platform, Webex Events.
Virtual lectures go into greater detail on specific ECB-related topics and are aimed at groups that already have a good understanding of the ECB’s role and responsibilities. They are hosted by an ECB expert and allow attendees to learn more and engage in a discussion around the designated topic(s).
To attend the lecture, Webex Events requires attendees to provide their name, surname and email address. Please refer to the Webex privacy policy for more information.
