The processing of personal data – which is associated with a purpose connected to the institutional mission of the University (teaching, research and third mission – described in the University Statute) is necessary for the performance of the relative tasks and activities of an institutional nature.

The University undertakes to process personal data in a transparent manner towards the data subjects, i.e., the parties to whom the data refer.

In general, the lawfulness of the processing, i.e. the legal prerequisite configuring it as lawful, is identified in the art. 6 paragraph 1 letter (e) of the GDPR: “processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller“. Further bases of lawfulness prescribed by the European Regulation (e.g., consent or legitimate interest), will be specified.

Personal data are processed in accordance with the provisions of art. 5 of the GDPR: lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner (‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’); collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes; in compliance with the principles of data quality (‘data minimisation’, ‘accuracy’ and ‘storage limitation’), and the security of processing is pursuant to art. 32 of the GDPR (confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services).

The data subject can control the information referring to him/her by exercising the rights declared in Chapter III of the GDPR: the right of information and access to personal data (articles 12-15), whose origin, purpose, copy, and legal basis for the processing can be obtained; the right to rectification (articles 16, 19) and/or erasure (articles 17, 19), the right to restriction of processing (articles 18, 19) or the existence of an automated individual decision-making process (article 22).

The data subject has the right to object the processing at any time (art. 21), withdraw his or her consent at any time (the withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal, art. 7); moreover, he/she the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (art.15). To exercise these rights, data subjects can submit the dedicated available form.

The Italian national supervisory authority for the protection of personal data is the Data Protection Authority – DPA (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali). http://www.garanteprivacy.it.
