Crowd funding
Dear European Ombudsman,
Please pass this on to the complaint department.
I am filing the following complaint with regards to my OLAF refusal my access to documents request 'Case OC/2018/0656'.
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I was requesting documents which contain the following information about H. Bogdziewicz van Elderen - the Lead Investigator :
Does she organize the following funding project?
https://www.siepomaga.pl/tomeks-bday
I informed that we have contributed to the project above
OLAF pretends that it doesn't have existing documents concerning subject of my request
There was no search of relevant documents within human resources department
Olaf refused to forward my request to Mrs Julia Laffranque its controller of procedural guarantees so that it would be possible to consider within its competence on separate basis
OLAF should be in possession such information and should be in position to acquire it formally: issues such as existence of conflict of interest, subjectivity of OLAF staff could result from public activities of OLAF employees outside job together with families like fund rising in the Internet
OLAF and HR department should be in possession of the documents confirming existence of family status of persons involved in public fundraising or other activities together with their families whose names correspond to the name of its investigator in order to guarantee appropriate course of its activities
A full history of my request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: http://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/case_...
I am asking to enable access to information requested and to transfer my enquiries to the authorities that I mentioned

Information note on data processing and confidentiality
Data processing
Complaints to the Ombudsman and related correspondence often contain
personal data, such as names, contact details and other information
relating to identifiable individuals.
There are rights and obligations under European law (Regulation
2018/1725)[1] as to how personal data is handled by EU institutions,
including the European Ombudsman. These include an individual’s right to
obtain access to his or her own information held by this Office. To
exercise these rights or to find out more, please contact our
[2]Office or our [3]Data Protection Officer.
If a person considers that the Ombudsman has not handled his or her
personal data properly, he or she may contact the [4]European Data
Protection Supervisor.
Confidentiality of your complaint and information
Complainants are requested to identify clearly any document or
information that they consider to be confidential immediately on sending
it to the Ombudsman.
Confidentiality can only apply if there would be some adverse effect if
the information were to be disclosed. It might, for example, apply to
financial information, commercially sensitive information or personal
information about a private individual. Confidentiality cannot always be
guaranteed. In particular, if you submit to the Ombudsman documents that
contain the personal data of someone other than yourself, that person
will most likely be able to obtain it from the Ombudsman, exercising
their data protection rights. In any event, you should expect your
complaint and any supporting documents to be shared in full with the
institution or body you are complaining about, so that they can properly
understand it and respond to the Ombudsman.
