Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice outlines how the University of Luxembourg (the University) manages your personal data in relation to the UNIVERSEH platform. The UNIVERSEH platform (https://edu.universeh.eu) provides access to all the courses offered by UNIVERSEH.

What is covered by this Privacy Notice?

This Privacy Notice relates to everyone whose personal data is processed by the University in the frame of the UNIVERSEH platform. The UNIVERSEH platform is operated with Moodle Learning Management System (LMS), a software which is free and open source and is hosted by the University of Luxembourg (the University).

UNIVERSEH is an alliance of European Universities wishing to create courses in the field of Space. It was decided to use Moodle to proceed. Each University will provide to the University of Luxembourg the list of students and teachers allowed to access to Moodle. Each University is an independent controller for the purposes of enrolling their students to the courses, assess their application, administer, and organise their own study programmes. This allows the UNIVERSEH Universities to create and provide virtual courses and ensures a digital learning environment for staff and students.



Why do we need to collect and store personal data?

For us to provide you with the courses we need to collect your personal data. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6.1(e), GDPR, the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. We wish to create new higher education courses in the field of Space for the benefit of society as a whole.

The University of Luxembourg has a mission established in Article 3 of the Law of 27 June 2018 to provide higher education courses leading to degrees, diplomas, and certificates.



What personal data do we collect?

The personal data we process might include:

  • Name, last name,
  • Email address, institution,
  • Status (staff or student),
  • Course data (e.g. academic performance, tasks, level of engagement),

To access some of the courses on the platform, you will need to either create your own account using your University’s email address or use your own University’s credentials with the Single Sign On (SSO) system or be enrolled by your UNIVERSEH partner institution to create account. If you are a student, registration will take place at the beginning of your course. If you are a lecturer or a member of UNIVERSEH, registration will take place based on your engagement with the project.

If you create your own account through the email registration option, you will provide us with your personal data. You acknowledge that some of the information that you are asked to provide to complete the registration process is essential to complete the process and that failure or refusal to provide accurate information will prevent us from satisfying your request. Please ensure that your data is accurate and, in case of any change to the personal data that you have provided, please write to universeh.moodle@uni.lu.

The SSO system is an authentication method. The authentication is done by exchanging the user credentials with an application that will handle the authentication process. Additional data will be processed by Moodle (email, first name, surname, institution, status).

In addition, users may also add further information on their profile page, if they wish to do so (location, interests, profile picture). It is also possible to add a description in the user profile.

Please keep in mind that we do not require any sensitive personal data (racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, health data or data concerning your sex life or sexual orientation). We would like to remind you that you should never share sensitive data on the UNIVERSEH Moodle platform.

Note: We do not access any of your private communications exchanged on the Moodle activities (i.e. chat, forum, feedback, etc.) excepted in case of any complaint or breach of the terms of use.



Plug-ins

Some content on the UNIVERSEH platform may require certain plug-ins. Plug-ins are software that work with your browser to give further functionalities to the platform. The UNIVERSEH Moodle platform uses plugins to improve and enhance the learning experience. When we use plugins, we ensure that these do not disclose personal data to any third parties.

For further questions on the plug-ins, please do not hesitate to contact universeh.moodle@uni.lu



Do we share your personal data with anyone else?

Users have the possibility to personalize the privacy settings of their profile by choosing to display their email address publicly, restrict it to course members or hide their email address from everyone. Course members will be able to see their peers online and consult what is written in the course chat.



Retention period

Your personal data will be stored for 5 academic calendar years since you first enrolled. Back-ups of your personal data are performed on a weekly basis and server back-ups for an additional two months after the deletion of the data.



What are your rights with regard to the processing of your personal data?

According to the GDPR, you benefit notably from the following rights: right to be informed, right to access to your personal data, right to rectification, right to erasure, right to restrict the scope of the processing, right to object, right to data portability, right to lodge a complaint.
