Legal basis

The HSZG processes personal data as part of the application for participation in the Erasmus Plus program in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of an informal and informed consent. The processing of personal data for the initiation, degree and fulfillment of a grant agreement in the context of the granting of a scholarship is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Recipients

Personal data is transmitted to the NA (National Agency for Erasmus+ University Cooperation), the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) and the EU Commission as proof of the proper use of funds.

The HSZG transmits surnames, first names, dates of birth and the names of the degree programs taken by applicants to partner universities. The information is transmitted for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Erasmus+ program.

After transmission to external recipients, the personal data transmitted is no longer under the administrative control of the HSCG. Compliance with the retention and deletion periods is then the responsibility of the recipients who process the personal data under their own responsibility.
