All university locations and buildings are monitored and fitted with cameras. Read on to find out where to get advice about security for a building, person or event that may be at higher risk.

Surveillance

All university buildings are monitored. Outside office hours, this is carried out by an external company.

Video surveillance

There are cameras and video recorders at all sites and in all buildings belonging to Leiden University. Stickers and signs let you know where this is the case. 

We take great care when processing this footage. The Dutch Data Protection Authority website (Dutch only) contains more information about how we protect personal data when using, storing and processing the images, or see our privacy notice video surveillance.
