Personal Information

We collect and hold information on staff and students in order to carry out our functions.
We ensure that personal information is accurate, complete and up to date and stored securely.

Uses and Sharing

We access and use your personal information only for the purposes for which you gave it to us. We do not disclose information about you to government agencies or other organisations without your permission unless it:

• Is necessary to provide you with a service that you have requested;
• Is required or authorised by law; or
• Will prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody's health.

We analyse non identifiable web site traffic data to improve our services.

Your Choices

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you. You can ask us to correct any errors and/or place additional information on your file.

To protect your privacy and the privacy of others, we may have to gain evidence of your identity before we can give you access to or change information about you.

Important Information

The University complies with the principles and requirements of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998, the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002. To view the principles of these acts or for more information about our privacy practices, see our University Privacy Management Plan.
