Become a member

Are you interested in becoming a member of Th!nk with Pride? Being a member means that you receive our newsletters, you are the first to know when we have an event, and you get access to our Signal channel (if you wish). Members of the LGBTQ+ community, allies, staff, student; everyone at the UT is welcome. The more people, the bigger the momentum for change. Together, we work on a campus that allows everyone to bloom. Membership is free.

Please note that we will never disclose our past or current list of members to any party.

Types of membership

Th!nk with Pride has three types of membership:

  1. Member, as described above.
  2. Contact person, where you additionally indicate for which group / programme / department / association you want to be a contact person. This helps us build quick links to various parts of the UT.
  3. Organising member. Th!nk with Pride is ran by organising members, who manage the community, represent members in policy and lobbying, and collaborate with other UT groups like the central DE&I Team.

Privacy and data handling

  • Which information is stored and why?

    By filling in this registration form, the following data is recorded, for the following purpose:

    Data recorded

    Purpose

    IP Address

    Automatically recorded by Webhare, the UT website back-end, when exporting the results of a "form". We do not save this information.

    Email

    We can use your email for three purposes:

    • Sending a newsletter
    • Reaching out to contact persons
    • Plan an introductory meeting if you wish to be an organising member

    Optional: personal data from the additional questions (relation to UT, gender, ...) 

    Comprehensive LGBTQI+ data supports the creation of equitable policy (for example, equal paid family leave). However, data on gender identity (beyond women and men), sexual identity and gender expression is not yet routinely collected at the UT.

    Part of our mission is to address this LGBTQI+ data gap. We do this with the help of our members. Providing this data is optional.

    All information you choose to share is recorded individually but will always be presented at the group level. For example, to discuss percentages and absolute numbers to represent and visualise our member community.

    Storage and access

    Membership details will be stored in an Excelsheet on the Th!nk with Pride Teams channel. This channel is hosted through the UT infrastructure (Sharepoint).

    Only organising members have access to this Excelsheet. More people are in the Teams environment, but the membership Excelsheet access rights are only provided to current organising members. These rights are updated periodically, so access remains limited.

    You can request a copy of your saved data by sending us an email at pride@utwente.nl. As we will never disclose information about our members to anyone, you can only do this for membership data connected to your own email, not someone else's email.

    Duration of storage

    Your data will be stored for the duration of your membership. 

    When we send a newsletter and the email gets "bumped", indicating that you are not part of the UT community anymore (through graduation, end of exchange, changing jobs, or other), we delete your data.

    Your data will also be deleted upon your request. This qualifies as an end of membership.

    Maintenance

    Our aim is to update our membership information every other week. That means that requests regarding your own data will be processed in that timeframe.

Become a member

This question is to indicate interest and comes with no binding obligation. We will invite you for an informal introductory meeting, so we can get to know each other and address any questions you may have.

Please use the full name of the group, we don't know all abbreviations at the UT ;)

Additional questions

We would like to know our member base and know who we represent. That's why we ask five additional, personal questions. These questions are optional. You can respond to as many or as few questions as you like; do what feels good to you. Please refer to the privacy statement above to see how your responses are handled.

We ask for sex assigned at birth to infer the number of transgender, non-binary, genderfluid, and/or otherwise gender diverse people. This so-called step-by-step approach (i.e., addressing self-identified gender first and thereafter, assessing sex at birth and intersex status) is endorsed in the Netherlands by Transgender Netwerk Nederland, Bi+ Nederland, and Expertisecentrum seksediversiteit (Stichting NNID).  

This is sometimes called being intersex, or as having a difference, divergence, diversity or variation in sex development (DSD or VSC).

The formulation of this question, and the including medical terms, has been endorsed by Expertisecentrum seksediversiteit (Stichting NNID).
