UM receives a large portion of the data directly from you, for example as a result of you creating an account on the INKOM website. UM acquires other data from third parties that have processed your personal data on UM's instruction or that are legally obliged to share your personal data with UM.

 

Sensitive personal data

Sensitive personal data are data that are sensitive in nature. For example, these can be data that reveal your race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a student association1 or sexual orientation. The term 'sensitive personal data' also includes data about your health, genetic data or biometric data through which you can be identified (e.g. a fingerprint).

 

In principle, UM processes no sensitive personal data for the purpose of the INKOM activities. However, it may do so on occasion, for example if you have indicated that you require special facilities, use medication that must be taken into consideration, are on a specific diet or provide these data at your own initiative. The INKOM will handle your data with diligence and care.

 

Purposes

UM processes the above personal data in order to make it possible for you to participate in the INKOM. This includes creating an account with the INKOM's registration system and online platform of Tactile, make use of Tactile's application, registering contact for emergencies, contacting and maintaining contact with you prior to, during and after the INKOM, and providing the appropriate facilities during the INKOM, such as food according to dietary needs or allergies. Your data may be processed even after the INKOM, for example if there are issues with regard to payment details, but also if you have subscribed for the newsletter.

 

In addition, the INKOM collects personal data of current and future volunteers, in order to be able to provide the proper clothing, use the correct language for communication, take as much account as possible of the volunteer's preferences in terms of partner and position and register a crew member's availability, among other reasons.

 

In addition, UM processes personal data (image captures) for promotional purposes.

 

Lawful basis for processing

Whenever UM processes your personal data, it does so with a lawful basis for processing. A lawful basis for processing is the grounds for processing personal data.

 

UM primarily processes your personal data for the benefit of performing its agreement with you regarding your participation in the INKOM.

 

UM may require additional permission from you to process certain personal data. In that case, the lawful basis for processing is 'permission'.

 

Sometimes, the INKOM is legally obliged to process your personal data, if there is an incident during the INKOM in which the police is involved, for example. In addition, UM may process your data in order to protect your vital interests, such as in the event of a medical emergency.

 

Finally, UM sometimes has a legitimate interest in processing your personal data. This applies to the pictures taken and videos made during the INKOM. These may be used for promotional purposes. If you wish to object to this (also refer to 'Your rights'), you can make your objections known via inkom@maastrichtuniversity.nl or privacy@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

 

Retention periods

UM does not keep personal data for longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose of processing or to comply with a legal obligation. After the INKOM, most personal data are deleted within 6 months of the last INKOM activity for which you registered as a participant (new students) or as a mentor, or for which you purchased a ticket. If you are still subscribed to the newsletter at that time, you will be automatically unsubscribed.

 

This excludes payment details, which must be kept for a period of seven years.

 

 

Recipients of personal data

UM has taken steps to ensure that only those individuals who need to process your personal data have access to them. Your personal data will not be used by third parties, with the exception of those parties that enable UM to perform the activities of the INKOM, which may have access to the personal data. INKOM has concluded written agreements with these parties concerning the processing and security of personal data. This includes, for example, Tactile as creator of the registration system and cashless payment system, the payment provider, photographers, video team and the INKOM volunteers.
