Diploma and certificate

On behalf of the President of the University of Lille, the Student Affairs Department processes personal data for the following purposes:

  • creating and issuing digital certificates as proof that the individual has successfully obtained diplomas and certificates issued by the University of Lille (hereinafter referred to as ‘Digital Certificates’);
  • making them available via a personal internet link;
  • managing, authenticating, recording and keeping track of these Digital Certificates issued in a blockchain infrastructure;
  • verification of the authenticity of your diploma by third parties to whom you have provided the dedicated internet link.
  • implementing and carrying out optional processing for statistical purposes: studies, surveys, indicators relating to the monitoring of students during their studies (particularly with regard to living and study conditions, evaluation of courses and teaching, monitoring courses of study, etc.)

This processing has been declared to the University of Lille’s data processing register under reference no. 2020162. Its legal basis is the university’s duties in serving the public interest (Article 6(1) point e) GDPR).

The personal data collected as part of this processing is:

  • type of certificate obtained;
  • student ID;
  • e-mail address;
  • first name, surname;
  • date and place of birth.

The internet links generated in this way will be collected and managed by the staff of the Student Affairs Department and the staff of the student affairs offices of member schools, faculties and institutes who are authorised to issue certificates of achievement, diplomas and certificates. This data will be accessible by authorised members of the staff of our service provider BC Diploma.

The Matomo and Piwiks services present on the web servers collect the data needed to measure the audience and produce anonymous indicators. These data can be consulted by the functional departments in charge of studies (data producers) and authorised website administrators for a period not exceeding 1 year, after which they are aggregated.

The data will also be used by the Studies Department Observatory (ODiF - odif.univ-lille.fr/) to implement and carry out optional processing for statistical purposes: studies, surveys, indicators relating to the monitoring of students during their studies (particularly with regard to living and study conditions, evaluation of courses and teaching, monitoring of course of study, etc.).

The data contained in certificates of achievement, diplomas or certificates, and internet links will be stored for the following periods:

  • on the BCdiploma platform, no later than December 31 of the year following the issue of the certificates of achievement, diplomas or certificates in question;
  • in the blockchain infrastructure, this data will be encrypted for the duration of the blockchain’s lifetime.

The same data is also archived on a separate computer medium with limited access, in accordance with the rules applicable to public and private archives.

You can access your personal data, rectify it and exercise your right to restrict the processing of your data. You may also exercise your right to object to the processing.
