All staff and others processing personal data on IRIS NITK’s behalf must read this policy. A failure to comply with this policy may result in disciplinary action from the NITK.
3.2 All Head of Departments (Referred as HoDs, hereafter) and Professor-In-Charge for all facilities are responsible for ensuring that all staff and students within their area of responsibility comply with this data policy and implement appropriate practices, processes, controls, and training to ensure its compliance.
In case of any issues regarding this data policy, the IRIS Officers can be reached at dpp@iris.nitk.ac.in.
4. Personal data protection principles
Storing personal data and processing is currently done by IRIS NITK in accordance with the principles of the General Data Protection Policy (GDPR) and Information Technology Act, 2008, and the subsequent amendments to it.

4.2 Data is collected only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes (Purpose Limitation).
4.3 Data is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed (Data Minimisation).
4.4 Data is accurate and where necessary kept up to date (Accuracy).
4.5 Data is not kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is being processed (Storage Limitation).
4.6 Data is processed in a manner that ensures its security, using appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage (Security, Integrity, and Confidentiality).
4.7 Data is neither archived nor deleted, but is stored after the usage period; it can be accessed by the user as per the permission given to the user.
5. Data Subjects’ Rights
Data subjects have rights in relation to the way in which their personal data is handled. These rights are detailed below:

8.1 Data subjects have the right to receive a copy of their personal data which is held by IRIS NITK. In addition, individuals are entitled to receive further information about IRIS NITK’s processing of their personal data as follows:
8.1.1 The purposes
8.1.2 The categories of personal data being processed
8.1.3 Recipients/categories of recipient
8.1.4 Retention periods
8.1.5 Information about their rights
8.1.6 The right to complain,
8.1.7 Details of the relevant safeguards where personal data is transferred
8.1.8 Any third-party source of the personal data
8.2 A Data Subject should not allow a third party to persuade them into disclosing Personal Data. The entitlement is not to documents per se (which may however be accessible by means of the Freedom of Information Act, subject to any exemptions and the public interest), but to such personal data as is contained in the document. The right relates to personal data held electronically and to limited manual records.
8.3 A Data Subject should not alter, conceal, block, or destroy personal data once a request for access has been made. The IRIS Officers must be contacted before any changes are made to personal data which is the subject of an access request.
9. Reporting a personal data breach
9.1 The Data Protection Policy requires that users report to the IRIS Team any personal data breach where there is a risk to the rights and freedoms of the Data Subject.
9.2 In the case where the Personal data breach results in a high risk to the data subject, he/she also has to be notified unless subsequent steps have been taken to ensure that the risk is unlikely to materialize, security measures were applied to render the personal data unintelligible (e.g. encryption) or it would amount to disproportionate effort to inform the data subject directly. In the latter circumstances, public communication must be made or an equally effective alternative measure must be adopted to inform data subjects so that they themselves can take any remedial action.
9.3 IRIS NITK should put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify data subjects where it is legally required to do so.
9.4 If an individual knows or suspects that a personal data breach has occurred, s/he should immediately contact the IRIS Team Leads at dpp@iris.nitk.ac.in and follow the instructions in the personal data breach procedure. All evidence must be retained relating to personal data breaches, in particular, to enable IRIS NITK to maintain a record of such breaches, as required by the GDPR and the Information Technology Act, 2008, and its subsequent amendments.
10. Record Keeping
10.1 The GDPR requires IRIS NITK to keep full and accurate records of all the data processing activities. IRIS NITK is required to keep and maintain accurate corporate records reflecting processing, including records of data subjects’ consents and procedures for obtaining consent, where consent is the legal basis of processing.
10.2 Any activity on IRIS NITK is logged and the logs are visible to authorized users only. The logs don’t include any sensitive information i.e. passwords entered on any page.
10.3 These records should include, at a minimum, the name and contact details of IRIS NITK as Data Controller and the IRIS Officers, clear descriptions of the personal data types, data subject types, processing activities, processing purposes, third-party recipients of the personal data, personal data storage locations, personal data transfers, the personal data retention period and a description of the security measures in place.
10.4 Records of personal data breaches must also be kept, setting out:
10.4.1 The facts surrounding the breach;
10.4.2 Effects of the data breach;
10.4.3 The remedial action was taken by the IRIS Team.
11. Training and Audit
NITK is required to ensure that all staff undergo adequate training to enable them to comply with data protection law. NITK must also regularly test IRIS NITK’s systems and processes to assess compliance.
The IRIS Team must regularly review all the systems and processes under their control to ensure that it is in compliance with this policy.
12. Data privacy by design and default and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
IRIS NITK is required to implement Privacy-by-Design measures when processing personal data, by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures (like pseudonymization) in an effective manner, to ensure compliance with data protection principles. IRIS NITK must ensure therefore that by default only personal data that is necessary for each specific purpose is processed. The obligation applies to the volume of personal data collected, the extent of the processing, the period of storage, and the accessibility of the personal data. In particular, by default, personal data should not be available to an indefinite number of persons. IRIS NITK ensures that it adheres to these measures.
As well as complying with NITK-wide practices designed to fulfill reasonable expectations of privacy, IRIS NITK ensures that its own data-handling practices default to privacy to minimize unwarranted intrusions in privacy. (e.g. by disseminating personal data to those who need to receive it to discharge their duties.)
12.1 IRIS NITK must also conduct DPIAs with respect to high-risk processing before that processing is undertaken.
12.1.1 The use of new technologies (programs, systems, or processes), or changing technologies (programs, systems, or processes).
12.1.2 Automated processing including profiling.
12.1.3 Large scale processing of sensitive (special category) data.
12.1.4 Large scale, systematic monitoring of a publicly accessible area.
12.2 A DPIA must include:
12.2.1 A description of the processing, its purposes, and the Data Controller’s legitimate interests if appropriate;
12.2.2 An assessment of the necessity and proportionality of the processing in relation to its purpose;
12.2.3 An assessment of the risk to individuals; and
12.2.4 The risk-mitigation measures in place and demonstration of compliance.
13. Level Based Hierarchy for Different Modules
Data Access in every IRIS module is designed on a Level Based Hierarchy, with Level I having the most access and Data Access progressively reducing at each subsequent level. In case an individual at a lower level requires data, he/she is unauthorized to access, they can request it from the level directly above them.
Delegation of the role is not clubbed with the responsibility. Responsibilities that rest with the person assigned to the role cannot be transferred even if he/she temporarily assigns the role to another person.
The level-based hierarchy of the various IRIS Modules has been detailed below.
