Data Protection Privacy Notices
In order to ensure that the College processes personal data fairly and lawfully, we must provide certain minimum information to data subjects, regarding the collection and further processing of their personal data.
We typically do this by way of privacy notices at the time the data are obtained or, as a minimum, within a reasonable time (not exceeding one month) after collecting the information. The information given in a privacy notice has to be in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form.

If you are proposing to process any personal data, you must check if the proposed processing is expressly covered by any of the existing College privacy notices e.g. the Privacy Notice for Students and Prospective Students in the case of prospective students or students’ personal data. If it is covered, clearly draw the attention of the prospective students or students to the Students and Prospective Students Privacy Notice (e.g. by way of link to the Students and Prospective Students Privacy Notice on the form that will be used to collect the personal data).
If it is not covered, the processing will require a standalone privacy notice.
