Privacy and Cookies

The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) aims to provide legal protection for your personal information – how it should be used by UK organisations, including our college.

What’s different?

The UK GDPR places a greater emphasis on the rights of the data subject. These rights are:

  • be informed about how your data is being used
  • access personal data
  • have incorrect data updated
  • have data erased
  • stop or restrict the processing of your data
  • data portability (allowing you to get and reuse your data for different services)
  • object to how your data is processed in certain circumstances

You also have rights when an organisation is using your personal data for:

  • automated decision-making processes (without human involvement)
  • profiling, for example to predict your behaviour or interests

What does this have to do with me?

As a result of the UK GDPR, a number of changes need to be made to the ways in which the College holds and processes personal data, and it is important that you are aware of your responsibilities.

According to the new regulation, all personal data must be:

  1. Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals
  2. Collected for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes, and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes
  3. Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed
  4. Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; steps should be taken to rectify or erase without delay
  5. Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed
  6. Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the data

The GDPR also includes an accountability principle which states that we must be able to demonstrate compliance with the above principles.
