The objectives for which the Sensz e-learnings processes students personal data are:

  • Organising, planning and implementing education;
  • Supervising students;
  • Answering questions posted by you;
  • Responding to complaints, objections and disputes;
  • Improving the quality of our education and services;
  • Complying with statutory obligations, such as retaining administration data;
  • Providing you with a certificate and the end of your exam.

Without your permission, your personal data will not be processed further for an objective that is not compatible with the aforementioned objectives, unless there is a statutory exception.

Grounds for processing

Special categories of personal will not be processed as specifically mentioned in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Mandatory or voluntary provision of personal data

If we ask for your personal data, we will make clear if the provision of the data requested is necessary or mandatory and what the (possible) consequences are if the data are not provided. Our starting point is that we do not process more personal data than necessary for the purposes described.

Exchange of data with third parties

Sensz shares your personal data with a third party (aNewSpring) to perform its tasks. Sometimes we are required to do so by applicable laws and regulations and sometimes we ask third parties to assist us in processing your personal data for the purposes mentioned above. Examples include sharing personal data with the education executive of your employer or the use of ICT applications such as LTI/SCORM interfaces with employers learning portal(s).

If Sensz shares your personal data with a third party that processes the personal data on behalf of Sensz, we will sign a processor's agreement with that third party which meets the requirements of the applicable privacy regulations.

We will not share your information with third parties who intend to use it for their own purposes, unless this is necessary to comply with legal obligations or you have given us permission to do so. In addition, we will never sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

If a third party outside the European Economic Area should process any personal data, measures will be taken to ensure an appropriate security level.

Automated decision-making and profiling

Sensz does not make use of profiling in combination with automated decision-making.

Retention period

We do not store your personal data for longer than is necessary. We determine the retention period based on legislation and regulations.

If statutory retention periods apply for the relevant personal data, we will observe those periods. In the event statutory and agreed upon retention periods should differ, the longer period will be applicable. Should you want to have your personal data erased at an earlier stage, this could be done in certain circumstances. Please refer to the heading ‘Right to rectification and erasure’.

Security of personal data

Sensz takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss or any form of unlawful processing. Measures that are applied as much as possible in this context include encryption and pseudonymisation of personal data, encryption of communication and treating personal data as confidential.

Your Rights

Sensz respects the rights that you have pursuant to current data protection laws and regulations. Below we give you some more information about these rights and how you can invoke them.

Right of access

You have the right to verify which of your personal data is processed by Sensz.

Right to rectification and erasure

In specific circumstances, you are entitled to have your personal data rectified or erased if the data are not – or are no longer – correct or if the processing is – or is no longer – legitimate.

Right to object

When Sensz processes your personal data by reason of a legitimate interest or a task carried out in the public interest, you have the right to object to that processing.

If you object to your personal data being used to inform you about Sensz activities and similar processing (“direct marketing”), we will always honour this objection. In that case, your data will no longer be used for direct marketing.

If you object to any other form of processing with respect to your personal data, we will verify if we can honour your objection. If your objection carries more weight than the interest we have in processing your personal data – and in continuing to do so, we will stop processing these data. If we are of the opinion that our legitimate interest to continue processing your personal data outweighs yours, we will explain our position.

Right to data portability

If Sensz processes your personal data on the basis of your consent or an agreement entered into, you have the right, with respect to these data, to receive (in return) the data you provided us with digitally, in a commonly used format. You are then free to transmit these data to any other party.

Withdrawal of consent

If Sensz processes your personal data on the basis of your consent, you usually have the right to withdraw your consent. We will immediately stop the processing. Withdrawal of consent has no retro-active effect. Any processing that has taken place up to that moment will, therefore, remain lawful.
