Information on individual forms of data processing

Processing log data (access data): When using this website, information is collected about the pages accessed, whether they were accessed successfully, the time at which they were accessed, the data volume transmitted, and the IP address of the computer sending the request. The purpose of this is to identify errors. This data is only processed internally and on the basis of Art. 6 no. 1 f) GDPR, the legitimate interest being the identification of errors. The log data stored is deleted automatically after 52 calendar days.

 

Account

Use of the learning platform (LEA), e.g. access to the courses accompanying the lectures or the self-study material, is only possible with a user account. 

 

Students at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences

Students are given a user account when they matriculate. When creating an account, the following data is taken from the central student register of Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences as specified in the enrolment regulations: salutation, full name, SIS name (user ID), matriculation number, library user number, matriculation status, department, study programme, university e-mail address, date of birth and postal address(es). The credentials for LEA are the MIA credentials.

For reasons of data protection, data may only be inspected by the e-learning team. By default, only your username und full name. Every student has the option to release additional data, to add further information to your personal profile and make it accessible to other users.

The account is deleted 48 months after the student leaves the university or when the former student expressly asks for the account to be deleted.

 

Staff, visiting lecturers, guest students at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Science and guest platform users (e.g. project partners)

The following personal data is essential when creating accounts: salutation, surname, first name, e-mail address and DIAS name (user ID) in the case of staff, or the matriculation number in the case of guest students from cooperating universities. An initial password is provided; however, this must be replaced by a password chosen by the user the first time he/she is authenticated.

For reasons of data protection, data may only be inspected by the e-learning team. By default, only your username und full name are visible to other LEA users. Every user has the option to release additional data, to add further information to your personal profile and make it accessible to other users.


The account is deleted when the user expressly asks for the account to be deleted or 48 months after leaving the university. Access for visiting lecturers and guests is limited to the period of their activity at the university.

A user account cannot be created if this data is not provided in full, in which case it will not be possible to use the learning platform’s non-public functions. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 no. 1 e) GDPR, the purpose being to restrict access to non-public, protected parts of Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Science’s website to registered users.

 

Right to data portability / data information

You can view your saved personal data at any time by contacting the e-learning team, who will also print it out on request. Data that is incomplete or incorrect can be rectified by agreement.
