Information on data protection
The processing of personal data, e.g. information about students, is only permitted if the person concerned has consented to the processing of their data or if a legal provision explicitly permits the processing.
The legal basis for the processing of student data with a multifunctional chip card is regulated in the Hessian Higher Education Act (§ 64 para. 4 HHG) and the Hessian Enrollment Act (§ 8 para. 2 HImmaVO). Furthermore, the provisions of the Hessian Data Protection Act (HDSG) must be observed.
These legal provisions regulate which students' personal data may be processed and for what purpose. For example, the matriculation regulations stipulate that the data memory of the chip card may only contain first and last names, identification/student identification number, pin number and digital signature key. Only surname, given name(s), date of birth, place of birth, degree program, date of enrollment, use for the respective transport company, student identification number, period of validity, a passport photo and the library user number with barcode may be printed on the card surface. Hochschule RheinMain prints fewer features on the card than legally possible: family name, given name(s), student identification number, passport photo and the period of validity.
The data memory of the chip card contains, in separate sectors, only the student identification number and the current wallet balance. No other personal data is stored on the data carrier. The technical design of the data storage device ensures that the prohibition on creating movement and behavior profiles is complied with.
If you have any questions regarding data protection law concerning the chip card, please contact the Data Protection Officer (DPO) of the university.
