Storing information
We store information securely and in line with our Data Protection Policy and associated procedures. A copy of our Data Protection Policy can be obtained from the Data Protection Officer, whose contact details are listed below.
We will stay in contact with you only for as long as you are willing to engage in alumni relations, which will be no longer than three years after your last engagement with us, or until such a point as you unsubscribe from alumni correspondence.
We are required to hold some information about you for a period of 7 years from the academic year in which you enrolled, in accordance with our Student Privacy Notice. After this period, we will hold information that you supply to us for up to 3 years after it is collected.
If you consent to collection and processing of information from your LinkedIn profile, we will hold this information for up to 10 years after the year that you completed your studies with us.
Who we share information with
We routinely share alumni information with:
- The relevant Local Authorities; and
- External software suppliers so that they can store your information externally and securely in order to display it in their tools, or where they need a copy of our data to resolve software issues.
We do not share your alumni information with any other organisations unless it is necessary and in line with the purpose for which it was collected. We will only publish any case studies or stories that you have provided us via the channels
