If a student collects personal data, for example from test subjects or through a questionnaire for use in an assignment, that student is responsible for the collected data. This means that the student is responsible for:

  • obtaining consent from the participants
  • complying with the rights of the data subjects
  • storing the collected data in a safe manner
  • describe the purpose of the data collection in a so-called ‘record of processing activities’.

Get help and guidance on the new website about GDPR for students.
