If a data subject refuses to provide personal data that is required by the University in connection with one of the University’s lawful bases to collect the personal data, such refusal may make it impossible for the University to provide education, employment, travel opportunities or other requested services.  However, data subjects may contact the University directly to arrange for alternative methods of data transfer other than through use of the Website.

The GDPR requires that personal data from the EU be subject to special protection. The GDPR also provides the EU-based individual with certain individual rights with respect to their personal information. These include:

5. The right to restrict processing to “block” or suppress processing of personal data.
6. The right to data portability allowing individuals to obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes.
7. The right to object to the processing of personal data under certain circumstances.
8. Various rights in relation to certain kinds of automated decision making and profiling.

Any data subject who wishes to exercise any of the above-mentioned rights may do so by sending such request to: privacy@pointpark.edu.

These lawful bases include, without limitation, admission, registration, delivery of classroom, on-line, and study abroad education, grades, communications, employment, and retention of records.

 Lawful reasons for collecting and processing personal data can generally be categorized as follows:

a.    The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;

b.    Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

e.    Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

f.     Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
