When you need to get consent for you and AAU to process personal data, the rules set clear requirements for the form and content of the declaration of consent.

In addition, AAU is a public authority so there are also requirements for how you must obtain and record a declaration of consent.

Our templates help you write a consent text that meets the requirements.    

When you process other people's personal data, they need to know what purpose their data is being used for and the basis for processing their data.

Therefore, you must provide specific information before you can use their personal data.

You must provide the following information:

• Does the data controller have a data protection officer (DPO)?
• Your purpose for processing personal data
• You are sharing with or sending the personal data to others
• How long you will keep the personal data
• The rights and remedies available to data subjects

You will find info and templates on the site.

If other parties are processing personal data for you, such as an agency or consultant, you have co-responsibility for ensuring that they process the personal data lawfully.

You must always ensure that AAU and the person(s) who will process personal data on your behalf make a data processing agreement.

For example, if you need assistance from a student or an external researcher on your project, you must ensure that a data processing agreement is made.

The same applies if a company is to help AAU with an administrative task or a system needs to process personal data about our staff and students.

Although AAU is the data controller, it is your responsibility that a data processing agreement is made.

As a researcher, you must document that you have control over how you process personal data in your research and the legal basis in the General Data Protection Regulation.

Once you have reported your research activity via our 'registration procedure', we will ensure that the activity is listed in AAU's legally required record.

Your registration also enables us to give you the best advice possible on the processing of personal data.
