The lawful bases include, without limitation, admission, registration, delivery of classroom, online, and study abroad education, grades, communications, employment, applied research, development, program analysis for improvements, and records retention. 

Examples of data that º£½ÇÉçÇømay need to collect in connection with these lawful bases are: name, email address, IP address, physical address or other location identifier, photos, as well as some sensitive personal data obtained with prior consent. 

Most of UNF’s collection and processing of personal data will fall under the following categories: 

• Processing which is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by º£½ÇÉçÇøor third parties in providing education, employment, research and development, and public service. 
• Processing which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. 
• Processing which is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which º£½ÇÉçÇøis subject.
