SDU data protection officer

SDU employs a data protection officer (DPO) who advises employees and students about legislation and rules for data protection. You can contact SDU’s data protection officer, Simon Kamber, directly at dpo@sdu.dk.

 

Are you a researcher at SDU and do you need legal advice regarding data or the processing of personal data?

The lawyers at SDU RIO offer advice in connection with negotiating contracts. If you are a researcher and enter into cooperation with a company or other external partner, SDU is subject to a number of legal obligations.

It is important that you involve SDU RIO as early as possible in the process. It is important that we establish the legal framework and clarify the expectations of the parties involved before commencing any cooperation - only in this way can we ensure optimal cooperation. 

 

Contact

If you have any questions regarding personal information, please write to SDU RIO by e-mail at sdu.persondata@sdu.dk or contact the legal RDM Support team member Lars Engelstoft directly.
