Legal basis

The HSZG processes personal data in connection with applications for participation in the Erasmus+ program in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, based on voluntary and informed consent. The processing of personal data for the purpose of initiating, concluding, and fulfilling a grant agreement in connection with the awarding of a scholarship is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Recipients

Personal data is transmitted to the NA (National Agency for Erasmus+ Higher Education Cooperation), the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), and the European Commission to verify the proper use of funds.

The HSZG transmits the last names, first names, dates of birth, and the names of the degree programs in which applicants are enrolled to partner universities. This information is transmitted for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Erasmus+ program.

Pursuant to Section 93a(1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO), the HSZG, as a public entity, is required to report personal data to the competent tax office.

The HSZG does not transfer personal data to a third country or an international organization.

Storage duration

Without prejudice to the right to erasure, personal data is stored for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with statutory retention periods. Personal data is erased no later than ten years after collection.

Once transferred to external recipients, the transferred personal data is no longer subject to the administrative control of the HSZG. Compliance with retention and erasure periods is then the responsibility of the recipients, who will process the personal data under their own responsibility from that point forward.

  • You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out on the basis of your consent until revocation remains unaffected(Art. 13 para. 2 lit. c GDPR).
  • You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Saxon data protection officer(Art. 77 GDPR).

Provision of personal data

decision-making or profiling is carried out in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR.
