Purpose
We collect and process your personal data to effectively manage your learning and to meet our contractual and statutory obligations as a provider of education and skills. We will also use your data to provide you with information we feel is relevant to you as you study with us, such as career opportunities, further education and events.

Your information is kept safe and is securely destroyed after it is no longer required for the purposes it has been collected for. We need to retain some personal data for audit purposes from our funding providers. Most of the time we are required to hold this for 6 years after the end of your final academic year. If your provision has been match funded with ESF (European Social Fund) funding, this data will be kept until at least 31.12.2030. Further information on our retention periods is available on request from the Data Protection team.
