UNICAP adopts Privacy Tools solutions for LGPD and optimizes relationships with data subjects
The implementation project was in partnership with Lumi Consult and brought improvements to the management and protection of data for more than 10 thousand students.
The General Data Protection Law (LGPD) has just completed three years of validity in Brazil. During this period, the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) documented over 600 security incidents. Compared to other market sectors, the education segment is one of those that manages its customers' personal data for the longest time. Therefore, the Catholic University of Pernambuco (UNICAP), through a partnership with Lumi Consult, adopted Privacy Tools solutions.
Founded in Recife, the educational institution has more than 10 thousand students, distributed across 46 undergraduate courses, 10 Stricto-Sensu postgraduate programs (masters and doctorates), in addition to specialization courses, MBAs and Latin Legun Masters. To manage such a large volume of personal data, Unicap sought technology from the company from Rio Grande do Sul.
According to Rodrigo Pellegrino de Azevedo, Data Protection Officer (DPO) at Unicap, the regulatory change required a reorganization of the university in order to comply with legislation, but it also emerged as an opportunity to improve the relationship with its audiences. “We started to seek a review of the design of internal processes and optimized our relationship with both staff and teachers, as well as students. It was an opportunity to establish even more transparent, faster and efficient links with our clientele”, he analyzes.
According to the manager, this design of internal processes was precisely the university's main challenge before hiring the solutions from the company from Rio Grande do Sul. By implementing solutions such as Business Policy Management, Website Monitoring & Cookies and Holder Request Management (DSAR), Azevedo hopes to accelerate the organization's digital transformation.
“Being able to gather personal data in a single environment for managing the relationship with the data subject and integrating this into our processes is something that gives credibility to Unicap. Faced with the challenge of adapting to the LGPD, our result is efficient and even more transparent management”, he considers.
In particular, the DSAR solution, which functions as a service platform specialized in the rights of data subjects, allows the essence of data protection in the contemporary world to be respected.
For the CEO of Privacy Tools, Aline Deparis, the implementation contributed solidly to the unification of all UNICAP data management processes. “Our solutions were able to bring more efficiency and transparency to the University’s management. The work we carried out in partnership with Lumi Consult was fundamental so that all implementation challenges could be met”, she celebrates.
In addition to contributing to the redesign of internal processes and, in this way, to the management of the university's relationship with its external audiences, Azevedo also highlights the advantage of having a solution in Portuguese. “This brings Unicap employees closer to the necessary cultural change focused on data protection”, concludes the manager.
