Lecture by Prof. Wendt to those responsible for the faculties and structural units as well as interested employees
On 23.10.2018, the university's Data Protection Officer (DPO), Prof. Dr. Wendt, provided information at the Görlitz site on the new data protection rules and consequences for the university's work.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25.05.18. This gives the member states of the European Union a uniform data protection law. What does this mean for Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences? In his presentation, Data Protection Officer (DPO) Prof. Wendt explained the basics of data protection from its beginnings with the oath of Hippocrates (400 BC) to the census ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court in 1983 and the European General Data Protection Regulation.
After the historical outline, the principles for the processing of personal data, such as lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality were addressed.
In addition to the rights of data subjects, the obligations of the operators of data processing procedures were presented. The differences to the previous data protection under the SächDSG were also highlighted. Prof. Wendt also outlined the basic requirements for information security as a prerequisite for data protection.
This was followed by a lively discussion on various applications and designs of the new data protection law.
