In accordance with the purposes (art 5, part 1, sub c GDPR) and the long lasting relationship with alumni we save their personal information for a period of 60 years.

If you no longer wish to maintain contact or if an alumni has died we will delete all contact and complementary information outside of the information the law requires us to save (anonymous: on behalf of the archive).
