<p><strong>The “Student Advocate”</strong></p> <p><strong>National Technical University of Athens</strong></p> <p><u>Introduction:</u></p> <p>The “Student Advocate” is the institution that aims to bridge communication among the students of the National Technical University of Athens and the rest of the institutions, teachers, services or executives of it.</p> <p>More specifically, according to article 130 par. 4 a) of Law 4957/2022, the “Student Advocate”, among other responsibilities, investigates cases, either ex officio or following a student’s report and mediates with the University’s competent bodies for the resolution of these cases. In addition, the “Student Advocate” plans and coordinates training activities for the students and staff of the University, in collaboration with other units of it, as well as with external agencies. At the same time, the “Student’s Advocate” participates in the formulation of internal policies and the development of tools to strengthen the integrity and transparency within the University. The “Student Advocate” cooperates with the competent bodies of the Universities for the drafting of the Code of Ethics of them, of Regulations for the Management in cases of Phenomena of Conflict of Interest and the protocols for dealing with incidents of fraud and corruption.</p> <p>The “Student Advocate” has no authority on issues related to exams and the students’ grades.</p> <p>Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of April 27, 2016 “on the protection of natural persons against the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/ EC (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR))” entered into force in May 2018 and provides the framework for the protection of personal data.</p> <p>At the national level, the protection of personal data also results from Law 4624/2019.</p> <p>Following this, given that the interaction with the “Student Advocate” and the relevant website includes the registration, storage and transfer of personal data of students and staff of the University, the Policy for the protection of such data is designed and implemented in accordance with the above texts.</p> <p><u>In particular:</u></p> <p><strong>DEFINITIONS</strong></p> <p>Personal Data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified , directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name , an identification number,, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more
