IV. Scope of processing

 

1 Collection and use of personal data

Required personal data:
The Stud.IP platform offers users personalised access to learning materials, which is why users must be registered with name, first name and e-mail.

A user name is required when logging on to the system. For users at the University of Oldenburg, this is the anonymous user ID and for external users it is usually their university e-mail address. This data is stored by Stud.IP in encrypted form so that it is not possible to determine the original value, i.e. the matriculation number or personnel number cannot be determined for a person.
If you use the online exam registration and online grade inspection, you will also record the matriculation number, which is only stored and used for the purpose of the online exam functions. The matriculation number can only be viewed by yourself, the lecturer of the respective examination for which you have registered, and the administrators of the learning platform.

 

Voluntary disclosure of personal data:

In addition, you may optionally provide other personal information, for example to facilitate communication with other users.
 

Personal data in the context of the "doctoral student" status:

If you use Stud.IP with the status "Promovend” (doctoral candidate), then the additional personal data required for the administration of the doctoral process will be processed in Stud.IP. These are displayed under the "Doctoral student" tab and can be checked by you and supplemented as required, e.g. as part of a structured doctoral programme.
 

2 Purposes of data processing/deletion periods

a) General:

All information entered in Stud.IP is processed on secure systems of the University of Oldenburg and not passed on to third parties.

 

b) Required personal data:

For the purpose of user administration, establishing contact with you and providing personalised services (registration for events and internships and their administration, examination registration, review of grades, creation of mailing lists, registration for graduation celebrations), the above-mentioned mandatory personal data must be stored and processed by us. They are deleted 1 year after exmatriculation at the latest.

 

c) Personal data provided voluntarily:

This data serves exclusively to facilitate or improve communication with other users and can be deleted or changed at any time by yourself.
 

d) Personal data within the framework of the "doctoral candidate" status:

This data is used exclusively for managing your graduation process and for your information. You can also enter any additional services required here. This information is deleted when you no longer have a status of "doctoral student" or when your Stud.IP account is deleted.

e) Server log files

When you access this website, your IP address and the date and time of access are registered. The collection and use of this log file data serves only to identify errors or malicious access attempts, so they are not evaluated in connection with names or e-mail addresses. This data is stored for a period of 5 days and then deleted.

 

f) Stud.IP log files

When a user accesses this website, the browser type, operating system, monitor size and user status as well as the date and time of access are registered. The only purpose of collecting and using this log file data is the evaluation of the data for purely statistical research and evaluation purposes. Names, university IDs or e-mail addresses which could be used to identify the user are not stored.
 

3 Legal bases

The above-mentioned personal data (with the exception of the data mentioned in 2 c)) is processed for members and employees of the university (in particular students of the University of Oldenburg) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (e) of the GDPR in connection with Sections 3 and 17 of the Lower Saxony University Act (NHG) for the fulfilment of the tasks of the university.

The above-mentioned personal data is processed for members and employees of the university who are in a service or employment relationship with the University of Oldenburg and for whom the use of Stud.IP is not necessary in the context of their employment relationship and for external users on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) of the GDPR (consent), which they submit in electronic form when registering for the first time. The same applies to all users with regard to the data mentioned under item 2 c).


The processing of the above-mentioned personal data (with the exception of those specified in 2 c) is carried out for members and employees who are in a service or employment relationship with the University of Oldenburg in accordance with Section 12, Paragraph 1 of the Lower Saxony Data Protection Act (NDSG) in conjunction with Sections 88-95 of the Lower Saxony Civil Servants Act (NBG) insofar as the use of Stud.IP is necessary for the employment relationship.
