Approximately 13,000 students are affiliated with SiS through UiS, three colleges and two vocational schools in the region. SiS is not part of the University of Stavanger or other educational institutions, but is an independent company.

Our 95 employees offer you cafes, housing, sports center, psychosocial health services - and much more. We also provide dental support to you as a student, in addition to welfare funds and start-up funds for student organisations. Several million kroner are spent on this every year.

The Student Association in Stavanger (hereinafter referred to as SiS) is responsible for the processing of your personal data when you use the app "MinSiS". A data controller is responsible for ensuring that your personal data is processed in accordance with the privacy regulations.

Below follows an explanation of why, how and for how long SiS processes your personal data in the app "MinSiS". Finally, you will be able to read about your rights, i.e. what you can do if there is something you do not agree with or if you need more information about what and how we process your information.

Login/Registration:

When you have downloaded the app, you can log in in two ways:

• Feide login:as a student, you may already have a Feide user. The app makes it possible for you to use your Feide account for logging in. If you use Feide for logging in, you agree that SiS can collect information about your name, social security number, place of study, subjects and student e-mail. Read more about consent in Feide here: https://www.feide.no/personvern-og-samtykke
• Manual account:A manual account can also be created. For the creation of a manual account, you must enter your e-mail address and enter a password. You can also choose your place of study.

The purpose of this information is to create a unique user for you in the app. You can also choose to use the app without having to log in. If you choose to create a user in the app, SiS can process this personal data to fulfill the agreement with you to provide you with a unique user in the app. We store this information for as long as you use the app. If you do not ask for information to be deleted, the information will be deleted after one year of inactive use.

Introduction:

At the top of the start page in the app, you can click through an introduction that presents all services offered by SiS. After each section, you can check whether you know the service. When you have completed the introduction and registered as a user, you will receive a QR code that gives you a free cup of coffee at one of SiS's cafes. Your answers in the introduction are saved in the app and the QR code will be visible on "my page".

It is Munu Cloud that provides the QR code solution. This code can be used at all SiS cafes to receive free coffee or get discounts on other goods. Munu creates an ID for each user, which SiS asks for in order to create a QR code for the user. SiS only takes care of information about the number of coffee cups purchased in order to be able to take care of the offer of every 10th cup of coffee for free. When 10 coffee cups have been purchased, a free coffee cup is registered and then everything is reset to zero.

The purpose of the introduction is to familiarize you with SiS's services. It is in SiS's legitimate interest to make students aware of the various services on offer.

Your use of the app:

When you use the app, you can access the various services offered by SiS. In some cases, you will be redirected to SiS's website for further registration or more information. For example, you will be redirected to the fitness centre's website if you wish to register as a member. If you wish to apply for a nursery place, you will be redirected to Sola municipality's website. You can read more about how your personal data is processed for these services on their website./studentensbeste.no

Google Analytics has been installed in the app, which is used to record and analyze the use and usage patterns in the app. It is Google Analytics that collects this data, but all data is anonymized and SiS will only see data on an aggregated level, that is, combined data about what the user base does in the app.

Map functions:

In the app you will find maps from Google Maps and Mazemap which shows the position of the relevant service you are looking for or of lecture halls and group rooms. The use of these map functions does not show your location, but if you wish this, you can click on the map and be routed on to GoogleMaps or Mazemap's websites. When using these services, it is Google or Mazemap that is responsible for the processing of your personal data and you are encouraged to read more about this in their privacy policy.

Transfer of personal data:

When transferring personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA, it is now became stricter requirements for personal and safety protection. The application is operated by Google Cloud, which is an American cloud provider, but all data is stored on a European server located in Frankfurt.

You are entitled to receive information about how SiS processes your personal data. This privacy policy is intended to contain the information you are entitled to.

If your information is incorrect or incomplete, you can change some of this yourself on My page. Here you can change your name and your place of study.

You can request access to the information we have stored about you and deletion of your personal data, unless the information is necessary to deliver a service that you still want to have access to, or that we are required by law to keep the information for a certain period of time, for example according to the Bookkeeping Act. If you want access to your information, you can request this by contacting us by phone or e-mail.

All data in the app will be deleted after one year of inactive use. If you wish to have your information deleted or object to the processing, you can contact us by phone or e-mail.

If our processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing and in certain cases the processing must cease or changed.

If we do not accept your complaint, you have the opportunity to submit the complaint to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority.

The semester fee for SiS is NOK 590. The semester fee gives you access to lectures, exercises and exams at the educational institution, as well as student loans.

In addition, you can make use of all SiS's offers. This includes free healthcare, dental support,welfare funds, cheap training at SiS sports centre, and more.

Students on NORDPLUS, SOCRATES and ERASMUS programs are exempt, since the semester fee is paid as part of the exchange agreement.

If you want good proof that SiS is really the students' own business, you don't have to go further than our board. Half of the board members are students themselves, including the chairman and deputy chairman.

The board consists of eight elected representatives. Of these, four are student representatives, two employees and two representatives from the colleges/university management. Since the students have a majority in the chairman's double vote, the students therefore have a great influence on the development of our offers.

As a student, you are always welcome to meet the board before the start of the meeting. Either to provide input, or to express your opinion about whatever you want.

SiS works for a more responsible and sustainable business practice.

Responsibility in all value chains

Our business affects society and the environment around us, and it is important for us to ensure responsibility and dignified conditions in all parts of our value chains.

Implementation of due diligence assessments in our own operations and our value chains shall ensure that we respect human rights, safeguard decent working conditions and minimize damage to the environment in accordance with our guidelines and principles.

Risk mapping

We carry out an overall risk mapping of our purchasing categories, which forms the basis for further mapping and prioritization of risks in SiS. We will work actively with internal processes and routines linked to the model for due diligence assessments (see picture below) and report on the work in accordance with the law.

Our work is based on the UN's guiding principles for business and human rights(UNGP, 2011) and OECD Due Diligence Assessment Model for Responsible Business(OECD, 2018). These are based on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Labor Organization's (ILO) core conventions on basic principles and rights in working life.

Responsible purchasing

We consider responsible purchasing to be one of our most important tools in working towards a more sustainable business practice.

Through our ethical guidelines for suppliers(Code of conduct) we must make demands on basic human and labor rights, climate and environment, anti-corruption and animal welfare at our suppliers.

We work to adapt our purchases so that we strengthen, and not undermine, suppliers' ability to deliver on the requirements we set to ensure responsible relationships in our supply chains.

For questions about the Transparency Act, contact the CEO by email or telephone.
