DATA PROTECTION
Data Protection
The protection of personal data is important to us. University of Applied Management- Ghana has international university partners and therefore processing of personal data takes place in accordance with the applicable Data Protection Commission (DPC) of Ghana, under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) of 1992 Constitution of Ghana, European and national legal provisions to protect the privacy of the individual and personal data by regulating the processing of personal information.
You can of course revoke your declaration of consent (s) at any time with effect for the future. For this, please contact the person responsible in accordance with § 1.
The following declaration gives an overview of what type of data is collected, how this data is used and passed on, what security measures we take to protect your data and how you can obtain information about the information given to us.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The Data Protection Act requires that a person shall not process personal data without the prior consent of the data subject unless the purpose for which the personal data is processed is (Section 20(2) of the Data Protection Act):
- necessary for the purpose of a contract to which the data subject is a party;
- authorised or required by law;
- to protect a legitimate interest of the data subject;
- necessary for the proper performance of a statutory duty; or
- necessary to pursue the legitimate interest of the data controller or a third party to whom the data is supplied
A data subject may object to the processing of personal data, unless otherwise provided by law (Section 20(2) of the Data Protection Act). Where the data subject has objected to the processing of personal data, the person processing the personal data shall stop the processing (Section 20(3) of the Data Protection Act).
Section 21(1) of the Data Protection Act states that personal data should be collected directly from the data subject. However, data may be collected indirectly where (Section 21(2) of the Data Protection Act):
(a) the data is contained in a public record;
(b) the data subject has deliberately made the data public;
(c) the data subject has consented to the collection of the information from another source
The Data Protection Act notes that a data controller who records personal data shall not retain the personal data for a period longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which the data was collected and processed, except under certain exceptions including that the data subject has consented to the retention of the record, except where the personal data has been retained for historical, statistical, or research purposes (Section 24 of the Data Protection Act).
In addition, where a data controller holds personal data collected in connection with a specific purpose, further processing of the personal data shall be for that specific purpose.
The further processing of data is considered to be compatible with the purpose of collection where, among other things, the data subject consents to the further processing of the information (Section 25 of the Data Protection Act).
The Minister may through consultation with the DPC make supplementary regulations to specify further conditions for consent to be given (Section 94 of the Data Protection Act).
Data deletion and storage duration
The Data Protection Act establishes that a data controller who records personal data shall not retain the personal data for a period longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which the data was collected and processed, except under certain exceptions including that the retention of the record is required or authorised by law or that the retention of the record is reasonably necessary for a lawful purpose related to a function or activity (Section 24 of the Data Protection Act).

§ 2 Definitions of Terms of Ghana data protection Commission
The data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the most important terms are explained below:
- a) Data controller: Article 96 of the Data Protection Act defines a data controller to mean ‘a person who either alone, jointly with other persons or in common with other persons or as a statutory duty determines the purposes for and the manner in which personal data is processed or is to be processed.
- b) Data processor: Section 96 of the Data Protection Act defines a data processor in relation to personal data to mean ‘any person other than an employee of the data controller who processes the data on behalf of the data controller.’ From the meaning of data processor under the Data Protection Act, a clear distinction is made between an employee of the data controller whose activities constitute the activities of the data controller and that of a data processor. In addition, the definition of the data processor subordinates the data processor to the data controller in the hierarchy of command in matters relating to personal data processing.
- c) Personal data: Personal data is defined under the Data Protection Act to mean data about an individual who can be identified from the data or other information in the possession of or likely to come into the possession of the controller.
- d) Sensitive data: Sensitive data is defined as information that relates to (Article 37 of the Data Protection Act):
- personal data relating to children;
- the race, colour, or ethnic or tribal origin of the data subject;
- the political opinion of the data subject;
- the religious beliefs or other beliefs of a similar nature, of the data subject;
- the physical, medical, mental health or mental condition, or DNA of the data subject;
- the sexual orientation of the data subject;
- the commission or alleged commission of an offence by the individual; and
proceedings for an offence committed or alleged to have been committed by the individual, the disposal of such proceedings or the sentence of any court in the proceedings.
- e) Health data: Section 96 definition of ‘medical purposes’ includes the purposes of preventive medicine, medical diagnosis, medical research, provision of care and treatment, and the management of healthcare services by a medical or dental practitioner or a legally recognised traditional healer.
- f) Biometric data: Under the Interpretation Act, 2009, Act 792, technical words are to be interpreted using their technical definition accorded to them. This approach means that the definition of biometric data in different legislation in Ghana would be the defining scope of this technical word. Where biometric is used in any legislation which is to be construed by an international industry term of art, then the meaning of such term of art would be given the same meaning for purposes of biometric data of a data subject under the Act.
- Pseudonymisation: Under the Data Protection Act, personal data which is processed only for research purposes is exempt from its provisions if (a) the data is processed in compliance with the relevant conditions, and (b) the results of the research or resulting statistics are not made available in a form which identifies the data subject or any of them. The technical process of pseudonymisation where it achieves compliance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act therefore would be permissible as consistent with research purposes.
h) Processoris a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible.
i) recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation under Union law or the law of the member states are not considered recipients.
j) A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the person responsible, the processor and the persons who are authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the person responsible or the processor.
k) Consent is any declaration of intent voluntarily given by the data subject in an informed manner and unambiguously in the form of a declaration or other unequivocal affirmative action with which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of the personal data concerning him or her .
European and National legal provisions
§ 3 Provision of the website and creation of log files
(1) If you only use the website for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we automatically collect the following data and information from the computer system of the calling computer every time the website is accessed:
- The IP address of the user
- Information about the browser type and the version used
- The user’s operating system
- The user’s internet service provider
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user’s system accessed the website
- Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website
- Content of the calls (specific pages)
- Amount of data transferred in each case
- Language and version of the browser software
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
(2) The legal basis for the temporary storage of log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. lit.f) GDPR.
(3) The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to
- enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. To do this, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
- to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it
- to ensure the functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website
- To provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack
The storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
For these purposes, there is also our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit.f) GDPR.
(4) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected – in this case at the end of the usage process. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Any further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses are deleted or anonymized so that they can no longer be assigned to the calling client.
(5) The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website, which is why there is no possibility of objection.
§ 4 use of cookies
(1) This website uses so-called cookies.
Below you will find a list of cookies with a description of which are used.
Cookies are small text files that, as soon as you visit a website, are sent from a web server to your browser and stored locally on your device (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) and are stored on your computer and the user (i.e. us) send certain information. Cookies are used to make the website more customer-friendly and safer, in particular to collect usage-related information, such as the frequency of use and number of users of the pages and the behavior of the page usage. Cookies do not cause any damage to the computer and do not contain viruses. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters (so-called cookie ID), which enables the browser to be clearly identified when the website is called up again.
Cookies used: Google Tag Manager
(2) Cookies are also saved when the browser session is ended and can be called up again when you visit the page again. However, cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted to our site from there. You therefore have full control over the use of cookies. If you do not want data to be collected via cookies, you can set your browser via the menu under “Settings” so that you are informed about the setting of cookies or that you can generally exclude the setting of cookies or delete cookies individually. However, it should be noted that deactivating cookies may restrict the functionality of this website. As far as session cookies are concerned, they will be automatically deleted after you leave the website.
§ 5 registration
(1) We offer you the option of registering on our website by providing personal data. The data is entered in an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. A transfer of this data to third parties does not take place unless there is a legal obligation to transfer or the transfer is used for criminal or legal prosecution.
The following data is collected during the registration process:
- Login name
- E-mail address
- IP address
- Date and time of registration
You can manage and change all information in the protected customer area. As part of
the registration process, the user’s consent to the processing of this
data is obtained.
(2) We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to register. If you do not confirm your registration within 48 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we save the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
(3) The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR with the consent of the user.
If the registration serves to fulfill a contract to which you are a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
(4) Registration is required to have certain content and services available on our website as well as to prevent misuse and, if necessary, to investigate criminal offenses. (further description of the content and services)
Registration is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures. (further description of the contract; standards according to EGBGB and BGB)
(5) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.
This is the case for the data collected during the registration process as soon as you delete your access. We also save the voluntarily provided data for the time until the account is deleted, unless you delete it yourself beforehand. This is the case for those during the registration process to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures when the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after the contract has been concluded, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to meet contractual or legal obligations. Continuing obligations require the storage of personal data during the term of the contract. In addition, warranty periods must be observed and the storage of data for tax purposes. Which storage periods have to be adhered to cannot be specified in general terms, but must be determined in each individual case for the respective concluded contracts and contracting parties.
(6) If the data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible if there are no contractual or legal obligations to prevent deletion.
Otherwise, you are free to have the personal data provided during registration completely deleted from the database of the person responsible for processing. The person responsible for processing will provide you with information on request at any time about which personal data is stored about the person concerned. Furthermore, the person responsible for processing corrects or deletes personal data at the request or advice of the person concerned, provided that there are no statutory retention requirements to the contrary. You can write to the person responsible or the data protection officer in accordance with § 1 at any time via email or post and request that the data be deleted / changed.
§ 6 e-commerce
(1) If you would like to register for one of our products, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we need to process your registration. Mandatory information required for processing the contracts is marked separately; further information is voluntary. The data is entered in an input mask and transmitted to us and stored.
The following data is collected during the registration process:
- Surname
- Address (possibly different billing address)
- E-mail address
- Phone number
- Bank details
- IP address
- Date and time of data entry
The data will only be passed on to third parties if the transfer is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract or for billing purposes or to collect the fee, or if you have given your express consent. In this regard, we only pass on the data required in each case.
The data recipients are:
- Collection agencies, insofar as the payment has to be collected (disclosure of name, address, contract details)
- The bank to collect the payment if the payment is made by direct debit
- accounting
(2) The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR. With regard to the voluntary data, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
(3) The compulsory information collected is required to fulfill the contract with the user (for the purpose of sending the goods and confirming the content of the contract). We therefore use the data to answer your inquiries, to process your order, if necessary to check the creditworthiness or to collect a claim and for the purpose of technical administration of the website. The voluntary information was provided to prevent abuse and, if necessary, to investigate criminal offenses. We can also process the data you provide to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you emails with technical information.
(4) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obliged to save your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years after the contract has been carried out. However, after two years we will restrict the processing, i. H. Your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. If there is a continuing obligation between us and the user, we will store the data for the entire term of the contract and for a period of ten years thereafter (see above). With regard to the voluntarily provided data, we will delete the data two years after the execution of the contract, if no further contract is concluded with the user during this period; in this case, the data will be deleted two years after the last contract has been carried out. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected and take precedence.
(5) If the data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible if there are no contractual or legal obligations to prevent deletion.
Otherwise, you are free to have the personal data provided during registration completely deleted from the database of the person responsible for processing. The person responsible for processing will give you information about which personal data is stored about you at any time upon request. Furthermore, the person responsible for processing corrects or deletes personal data at the request or advice of the person concerned, provided that there are no statutory retention requirements to the contrary.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will only be used to process the conversation.
(2) The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. lit. a) GDPR with the consent of the user. The legal basis for the processing of the data that is transmitted in the course of sending an email is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit.f) GDPR. If the aim of the email contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1S. 1 lit.b) GDPR.
(3) We only process the personal data from the input mask to process the contact. We will of course only use the data from your e-mail inquiries for the purpose for which you made them available to us when contacting us. If you contact us by e-mail, you have a legitimate interest in processing the data to answer it. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
(4) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
(5) You have the option to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. Regarding the revocation of the consent / objection to the storage, we ask you to contact the person responsible or the data protection officer according to § 1 via email or post. In this case, all personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted.
§ 9 Data protection provisions when using online lectures
In the case of online lectures, there is the possibility of image and sound recordings. At the start of the online lecture, the students will be informed about this in order to ensure their consent to the admission. Every student is informed about this when they log in to their course and their consent is formulated. All the basics about the scope of the consent, as well as the revocation, can be found here. Students who later join an online lecture must make themselves known to ensure their consent.
