Leeds Beckett University takes your privacy seriously. We are responsible for looking after your personal data as Data Controller. Any information we collect will be held securely and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA”) and any successor legislation to the GDPR and DPA. Your personal details are not normally disclosed to any third parties. However, under certain circumstances, we may need to disclose your personal details to a third party so that:

• we or they can provide a service you have requested;
• we can fulfil a request for information.

Any information about you that we pass to a third party will be held securely by that party, in accordance with the GDPR and DPA, and used only to provide the services or information you have requested.

We collect several kinds of information from visitors to www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk depending on the part of the site being visited: e-mail enquiries, student recruitment, e-mail addresses, site usage information and, in a few cases, personal details such as your name, email address and postal details if you order publications/documents to be sent or register for a service provided by the University (for example, the student accommodation service or Guest WiFi).

In order to provide the service you have requested or fulfil a request for information, the data we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, amongst other things, the provision of support services.

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. Leeds Beckett will take such reasonable steps as necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

You should be aware that, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.

If you send an enquiry by e-mail to a specific contact listed on the Leeds Beckett website, this will be passed to the relevant section of the University so that they can fulfil your information request.

If you sign up for a subscription e-mail service, we will hold the information you have provided for as long as you require access to the service requested.

If you inform us that you wish to cancel a subscription we will remove you from our mailing list and your details will be deleted from our records.

Cookies are pieces of data created when you visit a site and are stored in the cookie directory of your hard drive. They generally do not expire at the end of your session. Cookies do not contain any personal information about you and cannot be used to identify an individual user. They are used to help you when you return to a website.

For example, they may enable you to return directly to a particular part of the site by 'remembering' where you last accessed. If you choose not to accept the cookies (by setting your browser to reject them), this should not affect your access to the majority of facilities available on our website.

For more information on our use of cookies please see our cookie policy elsewhere on the site.

The Leeds Beckett website contains many links to other sites, to help you find the information you need.

These may be 'official partners' of Leeds Beckett or other third parties with information likely to be of interest and relevance to those using our website. Leeds Beckett is not responsible for the privacy practices of the organisations that operate these other sites.
