DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

AlgoUniversity has adopted the following principles to govern its collection, use, retention, transfer, disclosure and destruction of personal data:

Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency

Personal data shall be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject.

Purpose Limitation

Personal data shall be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.

Data Minimisation

Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. This means AlgoUniversity must not store any personal data beyond what is strictly required.

Accuracy

Personal data shall be accurate and kept up to date. This means AlgoUniversity must have processes in place for identifying and addressing out-of-date, incorrect and redundant personal data.

Storage Limitation

Personal data shall be kept in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed.
