Privacy Notice for Participants in the Nuclear Physics Masterclasses
This privacy notice is for participants in the online Nuclear Physics Masterclasses. It sets out the ways in which the University of York’s School of Physics, Engineering and Technology gathers, uses, stores and shares data. It also sets out how long we keep data and what rights you have in relation to your data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Where do we get data from?
We collect information about you when applying to participate in the Nuclear Physics Masterclass and from information submitted during the course. This information is collected directly from application forms and is handled by the Outreach team in the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York. We may also collect information from you when you complete questionnaires and evaluation forms, specifically in relation to the Nuclear Physics Masterclasses.
What data do we have?
Personal data including name and email address.
What is our legal basis for processing data?
Typically, data will be processed:
on the grounds of contractual requirement or to take steps to enter into a contract, e.g. to deliver the Nuclear Physics Masterclass
because it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (i.e. to advance learning and knowledge by teaching and research, and to enable students to obtain the advantages of university education)
because you have given your consent or, in the case of special category data, your explicit consent
because we have a legitimate interest to do so, e.g. to better understand the effectiveness of the programme
to allow us to comply with our legal obligations
to protect your or another person’s vital interests
to monitor equality and diversity
How do we use data?
We will use personal data for the following purposes:
to deliver and facilitate your involvement in the programme
to contact you in relation to the programme by email
to record attendance at, and engagement in, all events associated with the programme
for research, monitoring and evaluation purposes
to monitor equal opportunities
to compile statistical returns which the University may be required to publish or pass to funding bodies such as the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Who do we share your data with?
Your personal data will not be shared outside the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York, except for evaluation purposes. In this case, all data will be treated confidentially by the external evaluator, Paul Rhodes Consulting.
