What is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier.’

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

1. The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data.
2. The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
3. The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete.
4. The right to be forgotten, i.e., the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we have.
5. The right to restrict (i.e., prevent) the processing of your personal data.
6. The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
7. The right to data portability.
8. Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling.

How Do We Use Your Personal Data?

You will not be sent any unlawful marketing or spam. You will always have the opportunity to opt out.

How Long Will We Keep Your Personal Data?

We will keep your personal data as long as it is needed for the purposes it was collected for. Student data is kept until the completion of the admissions process or longer if necessary, with appropriate permissions. When data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.

How and Where Do We Store or Transfer Your Personal Data?

We will only store or transfer your personal data in the UK or within the European Economic Area (EEA). If data needs to be transferred outside the EEA, we will ensure it is treated securely and in accordance with GDPR standards.
