In addition, we process data collected via tracking of your interaction with Aarhus BSS/Aarhus University’s websites. We are able to combine data from your IP address collected via cookies with your email address.

The information we send you is selected on the basis of information on your occupation, your areas of interest and the collected data on your interactions with Aarhus BSS/Aarhus University as well as with our websites.
Your personal data may be shared within the university. However, only in situations where it is necessary to serve one of the purposes described above. Aarhus BSS/Aarhus University will under no circumstances exchange your personal data with any third parties without your consent.

We will retain your data as long as the consent to process the data is still active. The main purposes are to ensure that we have an overview of your interaction history so that we can deliver relevant and targeted information to you and to document previous communication, participation in events, competency development courses etc.
After you have withdrawn your consent, we will continue to process the personal data that we are legally obliged to store and update, i.e. data on alumni, students or former exchange students, which is stored in the university’s course administration system.
