How we use your information
The data processed will normally be information concerning 'protected characteristics' per the Equality Act 2010. Much of this information is 'special category' personal data per the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
Data controller

Lawful processing
Where the data required in this area is 'personal data' rather than 'special category' personal data, the University will normally process such data for compliance with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of the University's official authority.
Where special categories of personal data are processed in this area, this is normally done on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) and Article 9(2)(b) UK GDPR for the purpose of carrying out obligations in the field of employment and social security and social protection law, or for reasons of substantial public interest on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) and Article 9(2)(g) UK GDPR and further to the provisions of Schedule 1, Part 2 of the Data Protection Act 2018.
