Do we share personal data?
As a general principle, AID does not disclose your personal data to third parties, unless this is necessary for the organization of the event and/or without specific given consent. This means that, for example, we try to minimize the use of Cookies and only select services that are GDPR compliant.
An important exception is the sharing of personal data when it is required under applicable law or in course of any legal proceedings. In that case, the AID must share data with authoritative bodies, for example with law enforcement. This will occur, however, under supervision of a privacy officer.
How long we retain your data
AID does not store data longer than necessary. Dutch Universities agreed on retention periods in order to be complying. For the AID the applied data is stored for maximum 1 year (till the end of the calender year), unless the person in question has a function that runs longer. In that case the personal data will be stored for up to 1 year after the end of the last function. They are deleted after the retention period ends.
