Privacy and Personal Data

At WUR we collect and process personal data, which we treat carefully, in accordance with the strict conditions stipulated by the European privacy act, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The policy document processing personal data Wageningen University & Research describes what the content of the GDPR means for WUR, the frameworks that we use at WUR, the roles and responsibilities we have and how we should safely and consciously handle private data. The Regulation on the protection of personal data describes how the tasks, responsibilities and procedures relating to the processing of personal data for education, research and administration are applied. The Regulation on Camera Surveillance explains how we work with camera surveillance and which rules and procedures apply to the registration and processing of the images in relation to safety and privacy.
