Data Protection Information for Security on University Premises
Security Service
Purpose
The University of Innsbruck processes personal data to ensure the safety of individuals, buildings, facilities, and property, as well as to enforce and comply with house rules and to prevent disruptions to university operations. This includes, among other things:
- Access control,
- Independently asking individuals to leave,
- Security patrols on university premises,
- Security services at the University and Regional Library of Tyrol,
- Contacting the police when necessary,
- Issuing bans from the premises, and
- Documenting security-related incidents.
Data Processed
The data processing concerns students, employees of the University of Innsbruck, and external persons present on university premises.
Depending on the group of persons, the following personal data may be processed: first and last name, employee status, student status, ID data (e.g., student ID, photo ID), and image data (e.g., photos taken in the context of incident documentation).
Legal Basis
The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), which arises from the purpose described above. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring safety on university premises and protection against unwanted disruptions.
The provision of your personal data is not required by law or contract and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. However, failure to provide such data may result in security checks not being possible or access to university premises being denied.
In this context, please note the information on the right to object on the main page.
Recipients
In the context of the security service, your personal data may be transferred to the following recipients:
- Siwacht Bewachungsdienst GmbH
- Police and security authorities, where required in specific cases
Retention Period
Routine log data from security checks are deleted after 2 years.
Incident documentation (e.g., in connection with bans from the premises or security-related events) is retained for the duration of processing and clarification.
If legal claims are asserted or proceedings initiated, the data will be stored until the final conclusion of the proceedings.
