Notification

The Act requires the University to notify the Information Commissioner of the ways in which it processes Personal Data.  Failure to notify the Information Commissioner is a criminal offence.  The University’s notification must be renewed annually, however the notification should be amended whenever necessary.  It is the responsibility of all employees and students to ensure that any processing of Personal Data that they undertake is within the terms of the University’s notification.   If you believe that any processing which you intend to carry out falls outside of the University’s current notification, you must tell your Data Protection Contact.  You should not carry out the intended processing until your Data Protection Contact confirms that it will be covered by the University’s notification. 

The University is only able to process Personal Data within the terms of its notification.  If the University  processes Personal Data outside of its notification, both it and the individual processing  the data may incur civil and criminal liability.  The notification will be made by the Data Protection Officer after confirmation of details have been received from Data Protection Contacts.
