3) What is personal data?

The term personal data includes any data, information and assessment that can be linked to you as an individual, cf. GDPR Article 4 no. 1. The determining factor in whether data is considered personal information, is whether it is fit to identify a specific person.

In some cases, data which, on its own, cannot be linked to an individual person, may constitute personal data if it is used in combination with other data.

4) The purpose of the processing of personal data in the Student ID app

Purpose

The purpose of processing personal data in the Student ID app is to give you as a student the option of downloading your personal semester receipt in a digital format, so that you can use it in situations where you need to document your student status.
