RSM B.V. collects and uses data of RSM alumni (including those who graduated from EUR and previous iterations such as Interfaculteit Bedrijfskunde) and their guests to capture the alumni events in images and spread those images among the participants and for RSM B.V. and EUR marketing purposes.

For this, the following data is collected from participants:

  • Imagery.

The data is collected by a designated photographer or videographer hired by RSM B.V. or Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Why does RSM collect this data?

RSM B.V. collects data to capture events in images in order to create a lasting memory for the participants. It shares the data with the participants, and publishes them externally for marketing purposes, showing activities organized for and by alumni.

Pictures chosen for marketing purposes will be published internally and externally, in print and digitally, e.g. on websites, e-marketing, posters, banners, advertising, film, and social media.

Videos may appear on the RSM Digital Asset Management system, RSM YouTube channels or on RSM social media accounts, including on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.

For the collection of data, the participant’s consent for marketing purposes is always required upon registration for or arrival at the event.

Photographs are archived for long term historical research, in the public interest, and to use in marketing for anniversaries, reunions, lustrums, and other special events.

Who has access to this data?

Before publication, the data is securely shared with RSM B.V. by the contracted photographer via the RSM Digital Asset Management system, or another secure method – such as a secure signed-for courier delivery.

The data is shared with CAR who will select some or all pictures taken for publication. Those pictures will be shared with the Corporate Communication Department of RSM EUR.

Once data is published, it will be accessible to anyone who visits our websites, social media channels or reads the print publications where the photo has been used.

How long does RSM keep this data?

All photographs are securely kept are kept in the Digital Asset Management system for as long as the subjects remain alumni, unless you request their deletion. After 5 years, photographs are moved to the archive.

Archived images are no longer used for regular marketing purposes, but will be used for the marketing of relevant special communications, such as anniversaries, lustrum events, special campaigns or obituaries, as well as historical research in the public interest.

The archive will be managed by the RSM Corproate and Alumni Relations Team.
