General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is new data privacy law applicable to the European Union subjects and business operations that involve EU subjects. The new law results from the need to protect data and privacy rights of students, faculty, exchange students, researchers, employees, donors and alumni.

You have the right in certain circumstances to (1) access your personal information; (2) correct/rectify  (3) erase information (subjected to UA Records Retention Program), (4) restrict processing; and (5) object to communications, direct marketing, or profiling. To the extent applicable, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation provides further information about your rights.
