Under Article 13 of EU Regulation no.679/2016
 
"Iuliu Haţieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy Cluj Napoca, based in Cluj-Napoca, Victor Babeş Street, no. 8, having the Single Registration Number 4288047 and the e-mail: , legally represented by the Rector, Prof. Anca Dana Buzoianu PhD, MD, confirmed by the Order of the Minister of National Education no. 5621/20.12.2019, through its administrative departments, processes your personal data by means of computers and on paper in order to achieve the mission of the university as a medical-pharmaceutical and research higher education institution.

The definition of personal data is found in art. 4 point 1 of Regulation no. 679/2016 and shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("the data subject"); an identifiable natural person is a person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to a particular identifying element, such as: a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more elements specific to its own physical, physiological, genetic, psychic, economic, cultural or social identities.

In art. 4 point 6 of the Regulation no. 679/2016 the notion of ‘filing system’ is used, ie "any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis". By correlating the definition of the concept of ‘filing system’ with the definition of 'processing' (Article 6 (2) of Regulation No 679/2016), it follows that the support of a filing system may be electronic or analogous, since the processing of personal data can be done not only by automated means, but also by non-automated means.

Examples of personal data:

  • name and surname; 
  • home address;
  • email address, such as surname. name @ societate. com;
  • identity card number;
  • location data (e.g., location data feature available on a mobile phone);
  • Internet Protocol (IP) address;
  • cookie identifier;
  • your phone's advertising identifier;
  • data held by a hospital or a physician, which could be a symbol that uniquely identifies a person.
