As such, this Privacy Policy has been written in order to allow you to understand University of Twente’s policy regarding your privacy, as well as how your personal information will be handled when using the Website.

1. Data controller

University of Twente, as identified at the top of this Privacy Policy, is the data controller regarding all personal data processing carried out through the Website. You can contact University of Twente with any questions related to this Privacy Policy or the University of Twente’s personal data processing practices by sending a written communication to info@trust-itservices.com, or via the contact forms available on the Website.

2. Personal Data processed

When you use the Website, University of Twente will collect and process information regarding you (as an individual) which allows you to be identified either by itself, or together with other information which has been collected. University of Twente may also be able to collect and process information regarding other persons in this same manner, if you choose to provide it to University of Twente, also via the Website.

This information may be classified as “Personal Data” and can be collected by University of Twente both when you choose to provide it (e.g., when you subscribe to the newsletter or request other Services provided by University of Twente over the Website) or simply by analysing your behaviour on the Website.

Personal Data which can be processed by University of Twente through the Website are as follows:

a. Name, contact details and other Personal Data

In various areas of the Website – including, in particular, if you decide to create an account on the Website – you will be asked to submit information about yourself, such as your name, professional title, organisation name/type, primary (and secondary) domain of work/expertise, e-mail address, city/country of residence, address, gender, Twitter handle, LinkedIn profile, and picture. Mandatory fields will be marked as such in the online registration forms – it is not possible to process your registration if any of the mandatory fields are left incomplete.

In addition, whenever you communicate with University of Twente by submitting a general enquiry or a support ticket via the Website, as well as whenever you participate in surveys which may be available on the Website, University of Twente may collect additional information which you choose to provide.

Regarding any applications received, University of Twente may assess the professional social media accounts (e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter) or professional websites of candidates, where publicly available or disclosed by the candidate, as necessary to gain insight as to a candidate’s suitability for the position/function to which the candidate applied.

When signing up for an event via the Website (such as a workshop organised or promoted by the Website), you will also be asked to provide details such as your name, your Twitter handle, the dates on which you will be attending and other information of relevance for the management of your attendance. Your payment details (including debit/credit card number and bank account details as needed) will be processed via an external payment gateway.

b. Special categories of Personal Data

When signing up for an event via the Website (such as a workshop organised or promoted by the Website), you will also be asked whether you have any special dietary/access requirements which might need accommodation. These Personal Data may potentially qualify as “health data” or “data revealing your religious/philosophical beliefs”, which are special categories of personal data under Art. 9 GDPR, and will be processed only with your explicit consent.

Certain areas of the Website may include free text fields, where you can write messages to University of Twente or otherwise allow you to post various types of content on the Website, which may contain Personal Data. Where these fields are completely free, you may use them to disclose (inadvertently or not) more sensitive categories of Personal Data, such as data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership. The content you upload in these fields may also (inadvertently or not) include other types of sensitive information relating to you, such as your genetic data, biometric data or data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation.

University of Twente asks that you do not disclose any sensitive Personal Data on the Website, unless you consider this to be strictly necessary. As it is totally optional to provide this information, if you nonetheless choose to do so, please mind that University of Twente requires your explicit consent to process this sort of Personal Data (which can be provided, e.g., by declaring that you “explicitly consent to the processing of my special categories of personal data for the purpose of assessing my candidacy”).

c. Other persons’ Personal Data

As mentioned in the previous section, certain areas of the Website include free text fields where you can write messages to University of Twente, or otherwise allow you to post various types of content on the Website. These messages and content may (inadvertently or not) include Personal Data related to other persons.

In any situation where you decide to share Personal Data related to other persons, you will be considered as an independent data controller regarding that Personal Data and must assume all inherent legal obligations and responsibilities. This means, among other things, that you must fully indemnify University of Twente against any complaints, claims or demands for compensation for damages which may arise from the processing of this Personal Data, brought by the third parties whose information you provide through the Website.

As University of Twente does not collect this information directly from these third parties (but rather collects them, indirectly, from you), you must make sure that you have these third parties’ consent before providing any information regarding them to University of Twente; if not, then you must make sure there is some other appropriate grounds on which you can rely to lawfully give University of Twente this information.

d. Browsing data

The Website’s operation, as is standard with any websites on the Internet, involves the use of computer systems and software procedures, which collect information about the Website’s users as part of their routine operation. While University of Twente does not collect this information in order to link it to specific users, it is still possible to identify those users either directly via that information, or by using other information collected – as such, this information must also be considered Personal Data.

This information includes several parameters related to your operating system and IT environment, including your IP address, location (country), the domain names of your device, the type of device, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of resources you request on the Website, the time of requests made, the method used to submit requests to the server, the dimensions of the file obtained in response to a request, the numerical code indicating the status of the response sent by the server (successful, error, etc.), and so on.

These data are used to compile statistical information on the use of the Website, to ensure its correct operation, as well as restore backup from possible failures of the Website and identify any faults and/or abuse of the Website. Save for this last purpose, these data are not kept for more than 60 business days.

e. Cookies

- Definitions, characteristics, and application of standards

Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer by the websites you visit, to then be re-sent to those same sites when you visit them again. It is thanks to these cookies that those websites can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within a website.

Cookies are used for electronic authentication, monitoring of sessions and storage of information regarding your activities when accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code which allows tracking of your browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes. Some operations within a website may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for operation of the website.

When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the website being visited (i.e., “ third-party cookies”).

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.

According to the law which may be applicable to you, your consent may not always be necessary for cookies to be used on a website. In particular, “ technical cookies” – i.e. cookies which are only used to send messages through an electronic communications network, or which are needed to provide services you request – typically do not require this consent. This includes browsing or session cookies (used to allow users to login) and function cookies (used to remember choices made by a user when accessing the website, such as language or products selected for purchase).

On the other hand, “profiling cookies” – i.e., cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences revealed by users while browsing websites – typically require specific consent from users, although this may vary according to the applicable law.

  • Function cookies , which are used to activate specific Website functions and to configure the Website according to your choices (e.g., language), in order to improve your experience.

University of Twente also uses third-party cookies – i.e.cookies from websites / web servers other than the Website, owned by thirdparties. These third parties will either act as independent datacontrollers from University of Twente regarding their own cookies (using the datathey collect for their own purposes and under terms defined by them) or as data processors for University of Twente (processing personal data onUniversity of Twente’s behalf).

  • Profiling cookies , which are used to observe the preferences you reveal through your use of the Website and to send you advertising messages in line with those preferences.

For further information on how these third parties may use your information, please refer to their privacy policies:

4. Grounds for processing and mandatory / discretionary nature of processing 

University of Twente’s legal bases to process your Personal Data, according to the purposes identified in Section 3 , are as follows:

1. Service Provision : processing for these purposes is necessary to provide the Services and, therefore, is necessary for the performance of a contract with you – Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. It is not mandatory for you to give University of Twente your Personal Data for these purposes; however, if you do not, University of Twente will not be able to provide any Services to you.

2. Events/Webinars: processing for these purposes is generally necessary to allow the University of Twente Team to respond to your request to sign up for an event/webinar and, therefore, is necessary for the performance of a contract with you – Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. However, the tracking of event attendance and publication of attendee lists is done on the basis of the Website’s interests in managing events and allowing other participants to become aware of persons taking part at the event – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Applications: processing for this purpose is needed in order for University of Twente to be able to consider your application and, therefore, is necessary to take steps at your request before (potentially) entering into a contract – Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. It is not mandatory for you to give University of Twente your Personal Data for these purposes; however, if you do not, University of Twente will not be able to consider your applications.

4. Marketing: processing for these purposes is based on your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. It is not mandatory for you to give consent to University of Twente for use of your Personal Data for these purposes, and you will suffer no consequence if you choose not to give it (aside from not being able to receive further marketing communications from University of Twente).

5. Database Publication: processing for this purpose is based on your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. It is not mandatory for you to give consent to University of Twente for use of your Personal Data for these purposes, and you will suffer no consequence if you choose not to give it. Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage (please see Section 8 for more information).

6. Soft Opt-In : processing for these purposes is based on University of Twente’s interest in sending you direct e-mail marketing communication regarding events and Services provided by University of Twente and which are identical or similar to those you have previously signed up for or acquired through the Website – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can block these communications, and you will suffer no consequence if you do so (aside from not being able to receive further communications from the Website), by objecting through the link provided at the bottom of all such communications.

7. Profiling: processing for this purpose is based on your consent, collected by means of the cookie pop-up banner and/or a specific tick box – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. It is not mandatory for you to give consent to University of Twente for use of your Personal Data for this purpose, and you will suffer no consequence if you choose not to (aside from not being able to benefit from greater personalisation of your user experience regarding the Website). Any consent given may also be withdrawn at a later stage (please see Section 8 for more information).

8. Compliance: processing for this purpose is necessary for University of Twente to comply with its legal obligations – Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. When you provide any Personal Data to University of Twente, University of Twente must process it in accordance with the laws applicable to it, which may include retaining and reporting your Personal Data to official authorities for compliance with tax, customs or other legal obligations.

Cookies consist of portions of code installed in the browser that assist the owner in providing the service based on the purposes described. Some of the purposes of installing cookies may also require the consent of the user. When the installation of cookies takes place on the basis of consent, this consent can be revoked freely at any time following the instructions contained in this document.

Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer by the websites you visit, to then be re-sent to those same sites when you visit them again. It is thanks to these cookies that those websites can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within a website.

Cookies are used for electronic authentication, monitoring of sessions and storage of information regarding your activities when accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code which allows tracking of your browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes. Some operations within a website may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for operation of the website.

When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the website being visited (i.e., “ third-party cookies”).

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.

According to the law which may be applicable to you, your consent may not always be necessary for cookies to be used on a website. In particular, “ technical cookies” – i.e. cookies which are only used to send messages through an electronic communications network, or which are needed to provide services you request – typically do not require this consent. This includes browsing or session cookies (used to allow users to login) and function cookies (used to remember choices made by a user when accessing the website, such as language or products selected for purchase).

On the other hand, “profiling cookies” – i.e., cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences revealed by users while browsing websites – typically require specific consent from users, although this may vary according to the applicable law.
