Your data is important to us

We're a membership organisation which means at our heart is our students and the information process to make your University experience incredible. We also employ staff, work with suppliers and have customers for our commercial services so the information on this page is for those people too.

The way we manage and process your data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulations and Privacy of Electronic Communications Regulations, and these web pages aim to explain how we manage your information inline with the Regulations and what this means for you. We've been really open and transparent on these pages to help you be fully informed and understand your rights. Below you can see: how we access your data; our legal basis for processing your data and how you can change your preferences; who else processes data about you; and our policies for processing the data. Processing of personal data is also governed by the Data Protection Act 2018 and the codes of practice issued by the ICO.

We also have a document detailing our guidelines for all staff members and student volunteers. This can be viewed here. For student groups, you can find guidance and resources to help you understand your data protection responsibilities in our student group resources here.
