Origin of data and types of data processed

In the context of our interactions, we process personal data concerning you: either because you provided it to us directly, or because we collected it automatically, or because we collected it indirectly from third parties. We take care, at every stage of processing, to limit the collected data to what is adequate, relevant, and necessary for the pursued purposes.

The primary source of your data comes from your student profile and the data you provided or that we collected during your studies. We may supplement this data after your studies in the following ways:

1 - DATA WE INTEGRATE AUTOMATICALLY

When you join IUM we automatically add to the directory the personal details you provided during the admissions process, namely: first name and surname, date of birth, home address, telephone number, email address, nationality, course of study and expected graduation date. You are notified of this addition by an email inviting you to activate your account and enrich your profile.

2 - DATA YOU PROVIDE TO US

Once your profile is activated, you can complete it by filling in the available fields detailing your personal or professional data. You are free to define, through your profile settings, who can view this data.

3 - DATA COLLECTED FROM THIRD PARTIES

We may collect information about you if you have made it freely accessible on Linkedin to update your profile on our AlumnForce platform. These verifications take place once a month. If an update appears necessary, the proposed changes are presented to you, and you remain free to accept them. You may object to this collection by contacting our DPO: dpo@omneseducation.com.

Legal basis for personal data processing

The maintenance of an alumni network (holding a directory, communication to its members, etc.) participates in the improvement of the reputation and attractiveness of the OMNES Education group and IUM, increases the employability and career opportunities of its students, and enriches their pedagogical experience. As such, it responds to a legitimate interest of the group and IUM.

For any question relative to the legal basis on which we rely to collect and use your personal information, you can contact our data protection officer (dpo@omneseducation.com).

We are likely to transmit your personal data to the following recipients:

To exercise all of your rights, you can write to our data protection officer (dpo@omneseducation.com). When we have reasonable doubts as to your identity, and in order to protect your privacy and ensure the security of your data, we are likely to verify it.

Security of personal data

We attach great importance to the protection of your personal data and your privacy. This is why we have implemented the necessary technical and organizational measures (physical, logical, and human security, regular audits and reviews) with a view to protecting your personal data against accidental, illegal, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, and use.

Access to the AlumnForce platform is protected by a password that you define. To ensure the security of your account, we recommend that you choose a unique password (that you do not reuse elsewhere), composed of at least 8 characters and including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Retention of personal data

We retain your personal data for the duration necessary for the mentioned purposes. When we have no legitimate need to process your personal data, we delete them or we anonymize them.

The data necessary to verify your status as a graduate of the school are retained for a period of 50 years following your graduation. The data concerned include your last name, first name, date and place of birth, the degree obtained, and the date of its conferral.

The data linked to your account on the AlumnForce platform (meaning the data we entered there and those you completed) are retained during the entire duration of your account's activity. Your account is considered active if you have logged into it in the previous 5 years. Without connection to your account for 5 years, it will become inactive. The attached data will be retained for another 5 years, a duration during which you can request the reactivation of your account from the IUM alumni service. If your account remains inactive for a duration of 5 years, you will be notified at the electronic address(es) you provided. Without action on your part, the account and its data will be deleted.

International transfers of personal data

We host your data in the Principality of Monaco and on the territory of the European Union. When we entrust the hosting of your data to providers, notably when they are saved in the cloud or when we use SaaS applications, we ensure that your data are hosted on the territory of the European Union and that they cannot be transferred outside the European Union without our prior agreement.

You can obtain more details by formulating your request to the data protection officer (dpo@omneseducation.com).
