The way in which the University manages this personal information is governed by the Data Protection Act 1988 to 2018  (as may be amended) and the European General Data Protection Regulation 2016.

The University's commitment to managing personal data properly is underpinned by the University's Data Protection Policy. The site also contains useful links and contacts for staff/students with reference points for staff/students with Data Protection related queries.
