Information notice on managing collaboration with student groups (circles, regional groups and project-based student residences)
Context
The University of Namur has student groups on its campus (clubs, regional groups, project groups) with which it interacts in various contexts related to the activities of these groups. In this context, it processes the personal data of the leaders and representatives of these groups. It collects this data from the student groups and processes it during contacts and interactions with the student groups.
Categories of personal data processed and purposes of use
For the purposes of this activity, the University of Namur processes data falling into the following categories: General identification data [category including the following types of data: surname, first name, postal address, email addresses, copy of identity card, identity photograph, telephone number, etc.]Data relating to membership of a student group [category including the following types of data: position, group concerned, year, etc.]Data generated during interactions with members of student groups This data is used to: Manage contacts with student group leaders and membersManage administrative aspects related to student groupsManage the coordination of activities organised by student groups on campus or on the premises of the University of NamurManage the use of University of Namur resources by student groupsManage the participation of members of collectives in working groups organized within the UniversityMaintain an archive of former group leaders with a view to preserving collective memory and promoting the role of student engagement in the university experience.
Basis of lawfullness for data processing
The activity is carried out on the basis of the University's legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). These legitimate interests consist of: Being able ensure effective interaction with active student groups on campus (clubs, regional groups, project groups), particularly in terms of coordinating activities, administrative management, and use of university resources.Being able to maintain an archive of the leaders of these groups in its information assets to ensure institutional traceability and continuity in relations with student stakeholders
Categories of data subjects
The categories of persons whose data are processed for the purposes of the activity are as follows: Members of student groups
Data sources
The data included in the processing activity comes from the following source(s): The data is provided by the groups concernedThe data is generated by an activity of the person
Recipient of the data
The data is processed solely by individuals and departments within the University for the purposes of carrying out the activity. The internal recipients of the data mainly belong to the following categories: University administrative staff External recipients of data belong to the following categories: In certain contexts, a banking institution (for the confirmation of proxy data)
Characteristics of processing
The retention period is determined based on the following criteria: the need to retain data for operational purposes depending on the purpose of its use. Contact details (surname, first name, telephone number and institutional email address, position and relevant group) are used during the academic year and are then retained for one year. The stored data is then archived, except for the phone number, which is deleted. The retention of other data depends on the context in which it is used.
Data subjects rights
Data subjects have rights which are described on the page https://www.unamur.be/en/privacy-policy. For any other requests, the first point of contact is secretariat.vecu@unamur.be.

Histology platform
Description
The histology platform provides histological preparation and analysis services for biological samples, at cost price. From tissue fixation, standard and special stainings to in situ visualization of proteins-of-interest (immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence) or nucleic acids (in situ, chromogenic or fluorescent hybridization), the platform enables researchers who frequent it to train and work in semi-autonomy on their samples. A technical team provides support in designing the project upstream and advising the researcher throughout the process, up to optical microscopy observation if necessary. The platform includes a motorized epifluorescence microscope (Olympus BX63) as well as the CellSens Dimension image analysis software, and table microscopes, all equipped with cameras. Access to the facilities is done in agreement with the technical manager, according to internal rules and booking of the requested equipment.
