It is also possible that we need (extra) data from you for internships, extra supervision, study trips or other services. You are entitled to expect us to handle your personal data with all due care and confidentially, this is provided for by law in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Information about the partners we cooperate with digitally is also protected, in compliance with the GDPR, and cooperation is arranged via ‘data processing agreements. We take the security of your data seriously, which is why we have taken appropriate measures to prevent the abuse, loss, unwanted publication and unauthorized modification of and unwanted access to your data.

We collect and record data via our newsletter registration form to keep you informed about events and developments. We do this on the legal basis of ‘legitimate interest’, as described in the AVG in Article 6.1 under f.

We receive your data by your newsletter subscription via our registration form or when you contact us by email. If your data is needed for services that do not fall within our legal obligation or our research and education mission, we will ask you for your permission to obtain and use your data. We will then explain to you why that data is needed and with whom we may share your data. You will be informed that you are not obliged to provide your data in such cases. You may withdraw your consent at any time. You can read more about this under the heading “What are your rights?

We only provide data to other organisations if necessary, to comply with a statutory obligation or for the purpose of our teaching tasks. We enter into data processing agreements with organisations that we instruct to process your data. This ensures that your data enjoy the same level of protection and confidentiality when they are processed by the organisations in question. We will continue to be responsible for this use of your personal data.

We sometimes use or give personal data to others to conduct research or use for statistical purposes. There are then three possibilities:

• Almost all research works with anonymized research data, so no one can tell that this research is or has been conducted with your data.
• Sometimes it is necessary to conduct the research not anonymously. In that case, we will ask for your permission in advance to use data from you.
• In exceptional cases obtaining your permission is not possible or not desirable. For example, when it costs a disproportionate amount of time and effort. We will always consider this carefully. You can always object to this. Moreover, in these exceptional cases we will always anonymize or encrypt your data.

If the personal data registered is incorrect or incomplete, we can rectify, amend or erase data at your request. However, it will not always be possible to honour your request.

You can object to the processing of your personal data by asking us not to use your personal data anymore. However, it will not always be possible to honour your request. You will be expected to prove that the processing could be detrimental to you.
