Information security makes sure the information provision of the TU/e is available, incorruptable and confidential at all times. It covers all information in all TU/e's activities: education, research and operations. Here (intranet page only accessible for employees and students) you will find tips and pointers on how to handle information securely.
Duty to report data leaks
There is a data leak when there is a breach of the security of personal data which leads to any unauthorized processing of the data.
This may be a theft of a laptop, a USB stick that has been left on the train or an email that has been sent to the wrong person.
Data leaks must be reported to the supervisor within 72 hours after their discovery and in some cases the data subject(s) must also be informed.
A data leak may arise both within and outside TU/e. Anyone who notices a (possible) data leak or suspects that they themselves are part of a data leak must contact the hotline for data leaks of personal data TU/e via Selfserviceportal.
A report of a (possible) data leak must be made as soon as possible. A register will be kept of every data leak and its handling.
