In addition:

• Images taken during the event may be published in the University newsletter, on the University website, or on a University social network account. Depending on the type of images and their context, the basis for this use is the legitimate interest of the University of Namur in being able to inform the public about the activities it organizes as part of its teaching, research and community service missions, or the consent of the persons concerned.
• Participant data is in some cases shared with a partner associated with the event for the purposes of fulfilling part of the contractual obligations (for example, when a purchase of work is subscribed to at the same time as registration for an activity).

The categories of people whose data are processed for the purposes of the activity are as follows:

• Staff of institutes and research centers
• Staff of IT support services

External data recipients belong to the following categories:

The retention period is determined according to the following criterion(s):

When information or images are published on social networks in the context of promoting UNamur's activities, such data may be transferred outside the territory of the European Economic Area.

This transfer takes place under cover of the following grounds or guarantees:

• The transfer takes place to an organization that undertakes to implement measures that comply with the requirements of the European Commission to ensure an adequate level of protection (these guarantees and mechanisms are described in their own data protection policy accessible on their websites).
• When publication is carried out on the basis of the consent of the data subject, the circumstance of the fact that this publication involves a transfer of data outside the European Economic Area is the subject of a request for consent as well.

The rights of data subjects are described on www.unamur.be/fr/vie-privee. In particular, they have the right to withdraw their consent if processing takes place on this basis, and the right to object to the use of data for prospecting communications. The first contact person for this purpose is the event organizer.
