Why we process your personal data?
Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ system for centralised management of identity data, user IDs, access rights and information system resources. In addition to the management of access rights and resources, the system is also used for monitoring use and compiling user statistics, and for tasks concerning electronic approvals and work processes.
The system is also used for customer service, dealing with problem situations, management of contact information and for collecting log data in accordance with the University’s information security and data protection policy.
The university needs to organise teaching and research. The university community includes teaching and research staff, other staff and students (Universities Act).
In order to carry out teaching and research and to organise its internal activities, the University must process the data of persons belonging to the university community and maintain up-to-date information on persons entitled to the university's various digital services. The University uses IDM system to deal with the data of teaching and research staff, other staff, students and other contracted university students.
In practice, the IDM system is used e.g. to:
- creating university usernames and e-mail addresses at the beginning of a contractual relationship or right to study
- placing users in groups of users through which the user has access to, for example, the network disks, e-mail and other electronic tools required for their work
- managing the lifecycle of a user's right of use (user ID will be closed at the end of a contractual relationship or study right, or during the investigation of certain suspected irregularities concerning university operating rules or data security)
- transmitting active users' data to the login services used by the University so that students, staff and other users of university services have access to the electronic tools intended for them;
The purpose of processing personal data in user management and log information systems is to enable the processing of personal data and other data located in information systems, as well as the supervision, control, detection, prevention and detection of data security incidents.
