2. Purpose of Personal Data Processing

We process personal data for the purpose of operating the Moodle e-learning portal (https://lms-ext.umb.sk), in particular for:

3. Legal Basis for Processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6(1)(c) and (e) of the GDPR, namely compliance with the legal obligations of the data controller and the performance of tasks carried out in the public interest in the provision of education.

Personal data are processed in LMS Moodle to the extent necessary for the organization and delivery of studies or other educational activities, in particular for user account management, access to educational content, communication, participation records and the completion of learning tasks.

The specific legal basis for processing applies according to the type of study programme or educational activity to which the user has been admitted.

4. Scope of Personal Data Processed

We process in particular:

• first name and surname,
• email address,
• login credentials,
• course participation data, such as enrolment, progress and completion of activities.

The user may voluntarily provide additional information, such as their school, place of residence or links to social networks. This information is not required for the use of the portal.

5. Recipients and Access to Data

Personal data are processed as non-public data. Access is granted only to authorized persons of the data controller and Moodle system administrators to the extent necessary for the operation of the portal and the delivery of courses.

6. Technical Operation and Use of Third Parties

The Moodle e-learning portal is operated by Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica. The portal is hosted on technical equipment and server infrastructure that are owned and managed by the university and located on its premises.

The university does not use any third-party tools to track or analyse user behaviour when operating the portal, such as Google Analytics or similar analytics or marketing services.

Users' personal data are not disclosed to third parties or transferred to third countries outside the European Union unless required by specific legislation.

7. Retention Period

• Data are retained while the user account is actively used.
• After 365 days of inactivity, the account is deactivated.
• After an additional 365 days following deactivation, the account and personal data are automatically deleted unless specific legislation requires a longer retention period.

8. Use of Cookies

The Moodle e-learning portal uses only strictly necessary cookies required to ensure the basic functionality of the portal, proper user authentication, session maintenance and protection against unauthorized access.

The portal does not use analytics, marketing or tracking cookies and does not use third-party tools to monitor user behaviour.

The use of strictly necessary cookies does not require the user's consent because the proper operation of the portal would not be possible without them. The user may restrict or block cookies through their web browser settings, although this may limit the functionality of the portal.

• request access to your personal data,

• request the restriction of processing,
• lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic.
