Basis of lawfulness of data processing

As a university with a mission of scientific research and developing services for the community, we believe we have a legitimate interest in working to support our activities by organizing donation campaigns and maintaining a link with our donors. In addition, whenever a donor makes a request, we have a legal obligation to issue a tax certificate that contains legally defined information and involves processing of the donor's data.

  • The activity of managing the collection of donations is carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest of the University (Article 6, 1, f) of the RGPD) which consists in being able to collect donations for the financing of projects supported or carried out by the University.
  • Contact data may be reused to send communications concerning other donation collection campaigns by the University of Namur or information on projects and activities carried out thanks to donations. This falls under a legitimate interest of the University (Article 6, 1, f) of the RGPD) to be able to ensure the promotion of activities organized at the University and donation collection campaigns carried out by the University.
  • The collection and use of data for the management of tax and accounting obligations in connection with the collection of donations is necessary to perform or comply with a legal obligation (Article 6, 1, c) of the RGPD). In particular, the University of Namur has a legal obligation to issue a tax certificate that contains legally defined mentions and involves processing of the donor's data (article 323/3 CIR 92).
