More information
The purpose of this Notice is to enable you to understand the scope of the personal data which BU holds and uses that relates to you personally, and how this data will be handled by us.聽 It covers use of your information within BU and the circumstances in which we will share your data with other organisations.聽
We think it is important that you can understand our uses of your data. 聽In addition the data protection laws require us to be transparent about how we process your data, and they set legal requirements to give you specific information.聽
Because of this, and because BU is a large organisation which needs to collect and use personal data for a range of purposes, this Notice is quite long and it contains some technical legal language.聽 We have tried to make the Notice as clear as possible and provide useful signposting so that you can find the information most relevant to you. See section (c) below for guidance on how to use the Notice.聽

What is data protection?
Personal data is information relating to identifiable living individuals (known as 鈥渄ata subjects鈥). 聽Use of personal data (including collecting data, sharing data or just holding it in files) is referred to as 鈥渄ata processing鈥.聽 To protect your privacy, organisations do not have complete freedom in how they use your personal data.聽 They have to comply with data protection laws, which apply restrictions on when and how personal data can be processed.聽 Processing of personal data is lawful only where it meets certain requirements or conditions which relate to the purpose of the processing and how it is carried out.
More information
Previously the data protection laws were set out in the Data Protection Act 1998, but from 25 May 2018 new data protection laws apply.聽 These are set out in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (called 鈥淕DPR鈥) and a new UK law, the Data Protection Act 2018.
Under these laws, BU is the data controller of the information it collects and processes as described in this Notice.聽 This means that it has the core legal responsibility to safeguard the information and ensure it is processed lawfully.聽
In particular BU must:
- Take steps to ensure that the data it processes is accurate and up to date;
- Give you clear information about its processing of your data, in one or more Privacy Notices like this one;
- Only process your data for specific purposes described to you in a Privacy Notice, and only share your data with third parties as provided for in a Privacy Notice; and
- Keep your data secure.
Information about your data protection rights as a data subject is set out later in this notice.听听

BU is using colour coding to provide a quick, easily-accessible indication of the legal basis for processing.聽 The 'More information' boxes below explain聽how the colour coding in this Notice links to the conditions set out in the GDPR: references to Articles are to the relevant provisions within the GDPR.聽 The conditions listed here are those which BU is relying on in relation to the processing covered by this Notice and may not be a complete list of all available conditions under the data protection legislation.
