Depending on the purpose of the processing, we inform you about the types of personal data processed, the purpose of the processing and the legal grounds on the basis of which it processes, stores and transmits personal data.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n UCDC <\/strong>has at the center of its concerns – in order to ensure the protection of personal data – the respect of all GDPR principles (cumulative):<\/p>\n\n In ensuring compliance with GDPR, UCDC<\/strong> puts at the center of its concerns the protection of the rights of data subjects who entrust us with their personal data.<\/p>\n\n The personal data collected by UCDC are necessary for the fulfillment of UCDC’s mission and the performance of UCDC’s contractual obligations. The request for these categories of data is based on the need for UCDC to comply with legal provisions. <\/p>\n\n GDPR specifies that ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to his or her physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n The generic types of personal data that UCDC generally requests from data subjects and which differ depending on the category of data subjects (employees\/teachers\/students etc) are:<\/p>\n\n Processing shall mean any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data or sets of personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.<\/p>\n\n The purpose of processing is closely related to the general and specific mission of UCDC – education, research and community services – but also in connection with the performance by UCDC of complementary activities: accommodation, food, renting of premises, sports and recreational activities, etc. Also, the data collected by the video surveillance system are necessary for the security of objectives, goods and valuables as well as the protection of persons. <\/p>\n\n Essentially, the processing of personal data is carried out for all purposes provided for by Law no. 1\/2011 or its subsequent legislation, as well as for purposes deriving from the mission of the higher education institution or are closely related to this mission.<\/p>\n\n Among the purposes of processing we list: carrying out admission, enrollment in study programs, carrying out educational activities, graduation, employment, promotion of staff, running commercial and service contracts to which UCDC is a party, carrying out scientific and publishing activities, granting facilities, etc. <\/p>\n\n As part of the process of prior information of the data subjects, the DPCU shall explicitly specify the purposes of the processing operations by categories of data subjects. <\/p>\n\n In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016\/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95\/46\/EC<\/em> (GDPR), and with Law No. 190\/2018 on measures implementing the GDPR and repealing Directive 95\/46\/EC<\/em> the main law that requires UCDC to process personal data is the National Education Law also known as Law No. 1\/2011 with subsequent amendments and additions.<\/p>\n\n Other legal frameworks that require the UCDC to process personal data are related to the general functioning of the UCDC(labor law, tax code, payroll, occupational safety and health, security and protection, granting of facilities,<\/em> etc.).<\/em><\/p>\n\n Internal Regulations: <\/strong>Dimitrie Cantemir Christian University Charter and other specific regulations.<\/p>\n\n In addition to the legal grounds deriving from the obligation for UCDC to comply with the laws in force, UCDC may use as legal justification for the processing of personal data and the informed consent of the data subjects<\/em> where the processing is based on art 6 lit a of the GDPR: the data subject has given his\/her consent to the processing of his\/her personal data for one or more specific purposes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n The recipients and third parties to whom UCDCle may transfer certain personal data are public authorities or service providers that request such data, in accordance with the laws governing their activity, namely:<\/p>\n\n a. state authorities and public institutions, as a result of legal obligations of the Operator; <\/em><\/p>\n\n b. service providers directly\/indirectly involved in the educational activity and administration of www.ucdc.ro website<\/em> (e.g. medical clinics with which UCDC<\/em> <\/strong>has contracts, e-learning platform owners, IT service providers (maintenance, software development), archiving in physical and\/or electronic format;

The Controller may transfer personal data to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. For such transfers, the Controller takes a number of measures to ensure an adequate level of protection of the personal data of individuals. These measures may include the conclusion of standard contractual clauses approved at European level. The transfer of data to third countries may also take place where it is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and the Controller or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request, or where the transfer is necessary for the conclusion of a contract or the performance of a contract concluded in your interest between the Controller and another natural or legal person.<\/p>\n\n UCDC has taken measures to ensure that, in the process of transferring personal data, their full security is ensured in accordance with GDPR.<\/p>\n\n The personal data – which has been or will be requested – will be provided by you and will be processed within a period of time provided for by European and national law, in accordance with the GDPR and other legal bases requiring it, respecting the principles of ensuring their security and respecting your rights. The archival nomenclature of <\/em>UCDC<\/em> <\/strong>provides for each category of personal data their retention period.<\/em><\/p>\n\n The transfer of data<\/strong> can be made either on the basis of an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission on the basis of Art. 45 of the GDPR attesting that the third state meets those criteria, or on the basis of adequate safeguards, which may be provided by standard data protection clauses adopted by the ANSPDCP and approved by the Commission in accordance with the examination procedure, or may be provided by means of provisions to be included in an administrative agreement between the UCDC and the entity to which the data is transferred, which includes enforceable and effective rights for the data subjects, and which agreement must be authorized by the ANSPDCP.<\/p>\n\n Data subjects will be informed no later than the date on which the data transfer is to be carried out. The purpose of these transfers is to facilitate the participation of UCDC students (e.g. ERASMUS program) and UCDC teaching staff in international mobility. <\/p>\n\n In order to fulfill the purposes of the processing made by <\/strong>UCDC may transfer some categories of personal data outside Romania or EU\/EEA countries to: <\/strong>States to which the data subject’s consent for the transfer of data UCDC uses administrative, organizational, technical and physical methods to ensure the security of personal data both on the UCDC website and within the institution (servers, computer networks).
