The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a privacy law that went into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR governs the use of personal data and grants certain legal rights to people residing in the European Union whose personal data is being collected and processed (Data Subject). It also imposes legal responsibilities on entities that control or process personal data, which may impact certain university programs that collect information from individuals located in Europe. For the full text, see the 

University programs with questions about the GDPR should contact the Office of the General Counsel.

The GDPR:

• Is the primary law regulating how the personal data of individuals within the European Union (EU) is protected and affects organizations worldwide, including 天美传媒.
• Mandates a baseline set of standards for organizations that handle certain personal and other data of Data Subjects located in the EU to better safeguard the processing and movement of that data.
• Applies to institutions with no physical EU presence who controls or processes covered information (irrespective of whether the Data Subject is an EU citizen).

In general, the GDPR covers the collection, processing, management, storage, use, and retention of personal data for University functions or activities that: 1) take place in the EU; 2) offer goods or services to individuals located in the EU; or 3) involve the control or processing of data relating to individuals in the EU, such as tracking the individual online.

Although the GDPR is not a US law, it may apply to a number of 天美传媒's activities that involve information about Data Subjects located in Europe regardless of whether they are citizens or permanent residents of an EU country. This includes:

• Notice: 天美传媒 must provide Data Subjects notice on what personal data is being processed and the purpose for the processing (Article 12)
• Consent: 天美传媒 must get clear consent from Data Subjects for the use of data (Article 7)
• Data Minimization: 天美传媒 must only use personal data that is relevant and limit such use to that which is necessary in relation to the purpose the data is being processed (Articles 5 and 25)
• Right to Access: 天美传媒 as a controller, must confirm, provide access to, and a copy of data to the Data Subject free of charge (Article 15)
• Right to Rectify: 天美传媒 must give Data Subjects the right to have personal data rectified if inaccurate or incomplete (Article 16)
• Right to be Forgotten: 天美传媒 must give Data Subjects the right to erase data and request the data not be disseminated in certain circumstances (Article 17)
• Data Portability: 天美传媒 must give Data Subjects the right to obtain data in commonly used and machine readable format, and the right to transmit that data to another data controller (Article 20)
• Data Protection Officer: 天美传媒 may need to appoint a Data Protection Officer to be accountable for compliance with the GDPR (Articles 37 and 38)
• Privacy by Design: 天美传媒 must protect data at all stages and throughout its systems (Article 25)
• Breach Notification: 天美传媒 must provide notification to Data Subjects within seventy-two (72) hours if there is a data breach (Articles 33 and 34)

“Personal data” in the context of GDPR means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. An “identifiable person” is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, through an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, or an online identifier. The GDPR defines personal data very broadly such that the term includes names, addresses, phone numbers, national IDs, IP addresses, profile pictures, personal healthcare data, educational data, and any other data that can be used to identify an individual.

The GDPR gives individuals located in the European Economic Area the right to request:

• A copy of your personal data that was processed by 天美传媒 with your consent, or was provided to 天美传媒 to fulfill a contract with you. 天美传媒 reserves the right to refuse a copy of financial information of a parent or guardian, letters of recommendation if you waived your right of access to such letters, data that was collected and maintained before May 25, 2018, and data that is excluded under the GDPR.
• Rectification of your data if it is inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete. If 天美传媒 decides not to comply with the request, the Data Subject will be advised of the right to challenge the decision through a hearing before an 天美传媒 hearing officer who is a disinterested party. Both the Data Subject and 天美传媒 may present relevant evidence. The hearing officer will render a written decision based upon the information presented at the hearing. If the hearing officer does not believe the data is inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete, the Data Subject has the right to present a written statement to be included with the Data Subject’s file.
• Restriction in the use of data if the data was processed unlawfully but the Data Subject does not want it erased, the Data Subject shows that 天美传媒 does not have a legitimate interest in the data, or the data is no longer needed by 天美传媒, but the Data Subject needs it for a legal claim.
• Erasure of your information in accordance with all applicable laws. 天美传媒 will comply if the data is no longer necessary for the purpose in which it was collected, consent to use the data has been withdrawn and there is no legal basis to permit the use of the data (this does not affect the lawfulness of 天美传媒’s use of the information prior to receipt of your request), the student’s interest in erasure outweighs 天美传媒’s interest, the student objects to use of data for profiling related to marketing, or the data was processed unlawfully. The erasure of your information shall be subject to the retention periods in accordance with the State of Idaho Records Retention Schedule and applicable federal laws.

You may exercise any of these rights by emailing gdpr@isu.edu with the request. Once a request has been made, 天美传媒 will respond within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request. 天美传媒 reserves the right to extend the period of time to respond by giving written notice to the Data Subject of the reason for the delay and the new response date. If 天美传媒 fails to respond within the first thirty (30) days, the Data Subject may file a complaint with the appropriate EU authority.

Educational records are governed by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). 天美传媒 will disclose such FERPA records with the Data Subject’s consent; however there are situations where records may be disclosed without consent to:

• School faculty and staff who have a need to know to fulfill their official responsibilities
• Other schools to which the Data Subject is transferring
• Accrediting organizations
• Organizations doing certain studies for or on behalf of the University
• Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student
• Parents, when a student over eighteen (18) is still a dependent
• Certain government officials in connection with local, state, or federally-supported education programs
• Individuals who have a court order or subpoena
• Faculty and school officials who have a need to know concerning disciplinary action taken against a student
• Persons who need to know in cases of emergencies when necessary to protect the health and safety of the Data Subject and/or others
• State and local authorities to whom disclosure is required by state law
• Directory information
