Signing on the student card is a valid feature and serves the protection of abuse.

Unauthorised disclosure of the collected and processed data to third parties, international organisations or a third country will not take place.

The stored data will be processed for the purpose of creating the LMUcard as long as and to the extent necessary (Art. 4 para. 1 BayDSG) or consent.

After exmatriculation or after the return of the LMUcard, the data in question will be deleted immediately from the corresponding systems, provided and insofar as there are no statutory retention obligations (e.g. with regard to student data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) BayArchivG) or other processing purposes (e.g. Art. 6 para. 2 BayDSG). This also applies to the data stored at the Studierendenwerk, the University Library and the Bavarian State Library.

The uploaded photo will be processed exclusively for the creation of the LMUcard and will be deleted seven days after the LMUcard has been handed over or after cancellation of the card application or upon revocation. The photo print is checked when the LMUcard is issued to the authorised person. The printing of academic degrees and titles is voluntary, insofar as the data processing is not carried out by law.

Insofar as data processing is based on consent, the deletion takes place with the withdrawal of consent.

After returning the LMUcard, the card will be destroyed in compliance with data protection.
