This English translation is not legally binding. Only the French language version is legally validated.

The present policy concerns the treatment by UNIL, in particular the CSE, of your personal data collected within the framework of the captation of the courses and during the evaluation of the lessons (validation, examinations), either as a Zoom user or as a participant in the face-to-face courses. It is dated 13/10/2020.

The present policy relates only to data processed by the University. The use of Zoom, however, also implies the user's acceptance of Zoom's Terms of Use (https://zoom.us/fr-fr/terms.html) and Privacy Policy (https://zoom.us/fr-fr/privacy.html), documents that we invite you to read.

The version of Zoom used is version 5.2.2, which includes a GCM-AES.256 encryption that offers increased data protection. For more information: https://zoom.us/docs/doc/Zoom-Security-White-Paper.pdf.

In the absence of agreement, please refrain from using Zoom's services. Any access and use on your part will be interpreted as acceptance of this policy.

Zoom offers a feature that allows the teacher to record his or her lessons. In order to provide students with the best possible follow-up, the use of this feature is highly recommended, but not mandatory. If the teacher wishes to use it, it is allowed only if it is done locally on the hard disk of the computer used by the teacher to teach the lesson ("save to computer" option).

Recording a lesson using the cloud option is prohibited. Should it nevertheless occur, the User shall be solely responsible for the risks incurred and shall be liable for any prejudice that may result for UNIL from the recording of courses on the cloud option proposed by Zoom ("record on the cloud" option), which he hereby undertakes to compensate in the event of a violation of this prohibition.

Such use may be necessary in the context of teaching and related evaluations (exams and validations).

If you refuse to share the Content when using Zoom in the context of evaluations (exams and validations), you will not be able to take part in it.

If you do not wish to share the Content when using Zoom for meetings, conferences or certain lessons, you have the possibility to deactivate your webcam and microphone. In the event that the recording is made in the context of a classroom lecture, some of your personal data, such as your voice, may be recorded during any intervention that you may have in this context.

  • Allow to exchange with other participants;
