Here’s how we use personal data

The Royal Institute of Art processes personal data to fulfill its mission as a state authority and learning institution, providing education and research whilst collaborating with the community.

At the Royal Institute of Art we deal with personal data mainly for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (law, regulation, ordinance); our exercise of authority; an agreement; or to carry out a task of public interest. For example, we process the personal data of staff and students as necessary for us to fulfill our mandate. Otherwise, consent is required. Automated and manual processing of personal data involves transmission into our internal systems in order to give employees and admitted students access to the premises, computers, networks or library resources, for instance.
