Data protection in student self-administration
University of Paderborn, Moritz Bunse
The basics
- Why data protection
- to protect personal data
- Does every FS need a data protection coordinator?
- Depends on whether prescribed
- one person, or centralised solution
- UNI is not considered a third party (in NRW), could be different in other Federal States
GDPR
Implementation
- Documentation of all processes
- audits
- Are personal data mentioned?
- Deletion periods, must something be removed?
- What protective measures are in place
- Perfectionism not achievable, always room for improvement
- Legal basis
- Limesurvey, Forms
Implementation in the Student council
- Sample processes that are customised
- Two types of processes must be in place
- Counselling
- Registration for events
- Restricting the use of third-party email providers in student self-administration
Tips & tricks
- Check Web.de/Gmx/GMail etc. as a third-party provider (whether data is forwarded, including PDFs in attachments)
- Scan function of third-party providers cannot be restricted, therefore check which data is shared, handle data sparingly (IP addresses can also constitute personal data)
- Only collect necessary data, delete/anonymise in good time after an event has been decided
- It is best to install an AVV/tracking banner (active) or switch it off
- Google Fonts data protection violations
- Data protection violations can be expensive!
- Cookie notice, other Umatrix
- Prevent forwarding to private emails
- Use internal email addresses (data availability, short official channels, data security)
- Internal teams (data protection compliant, data only to EU servers)
Discussion
- Use Wordpress to create the website, use tools to analyse, ask providers about the processing of personal data
- Who is responsible if the FSR commits a data protection breach (in P the elected members of the FSR)
- There must be a legal basis for storing the data to ensure that everything is compliant Consult a lawyer in the last instance (expensive, but safe)
Delete chat messages after a certain time (teams)
- Rather stricter than laxer, if in doubt use internal university providers
- Never use Whatsapp as the only communication channel (similar with other social media providers)
- What about sharing pictures?
- Signs (plenty), inform that pictures are taken and shared, distinguish whether a public event or internal
- Also point this out in presentations, e.g. in the O-week
- When selling tickets online, install an active click function to agree to this
- If there is an explicit request to delete an image, this must be deleted everywhere
- Doodle not good
