How we use your information
The information used by the University may have been provided by an individual, for example via a business card, or be published on a website or similar.
Personal data
The personal data used for these purposes will normally comprise name, affiliation and professional contact details such as an email address.
Special categories of personal data
Professional contact information will not normally comprise special categories of personal data, unless those professional contact details concern membership or representation of a trades union, political party or religious or philosophical body.
Data controller
The University is normally the data controller for this information once received and recorded.
The data will be processed in a variety of University administrative systems including Microsoft 365, Box, and enquiry management databases. The University’s service providers may be cloud-based or the information may be stored on servers owned and operated by IT. Cloud-based systems may use infrastructure providers based outwith the European Economic Area. Where the University works with overseas partners, this may also require the transfer of your data outwith the EEA.
For more information on the manner in which personal data is used by the University, please see the information published on our website:
