Data protection officer of the Students' Union
Datenschutzbeauftragter
So that all data remains secure – technically and legally.
Data protection and data security are very important for the General Students’ Committee and the Students’ Union. Since the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force, the VS has appointed a data protection officer.
Our data protection officer advises the student body on data protection issues and ensures that all processes comply with the new requirements.
Thanks to his IT knowledge, he illuminates data security not only from a legal perspective, but also from a practical one.
For all questions regarding data protection, he offers an open consultation hour every Thursday during the lecture period from 6 to 7 p.m. in building A5 in the mPool. Prior registration is not required, but recommended for detailed questions.
