The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on the 25 May 2018. UCL has designed a comprehensive Programme of work designed to deliver the changes necessary for GDPR compliance. We will continue to update this statement as the work develops and progresses.
As part of our legal obligations we have published Staff, Student and General Privacy notices. Where required local privacy notices will be issued to inform individuals about what personal data is gathered, how it is used, stored and retained.
UCL also has a data protection policy that sets out our commitment to the safeguarding of personal data processed by its staff and students and our stances on compliance with data protection legislation. This policy describes how UCL will discharge its duties in order to ensure compliance with the data protection principles and rights of data subjects in particular and will be updated for GDPR in due course.
You can find information about the changes from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The ICO is the UK regulator who oversees compliance with data protection legislation. Information Commissioner’s Office Guide to the GDPR.
UCL Privacy Notices
UCL has taken all reasonable care to ensure that pages published by central offices were accurate on the stated date of publication or last modification. Other pages which may be linked to the UCL home page or to other UCL pages, or which have a UCL address, may have been published by departments of UCL or other units of the College or associated with the College, or by staff or students acting entirely in a personal capacity. UCL takes no responsibility for the consequences of error or for any loss or damage suffered by users of any of the information published on any of these pages, and such information does not form any basis of a contract with readers or users of it.
It is in the nature of web sites, many of which are experimental or constantly changing, that information published may be for test purposes only, may be out of date, or may be the personal opinion of the author. Readers should verify information gained from the web with the appropriate UCL authorities before relying on it.
Material published by UCL central offices is copyright UCL and may not be reproduced without permission. Copyright exists in all other original material published on the web by staff or students of UCL and may belong to the author or to UCL depending on the circumstances of publication. The UCL ‘dome’ logo and the letters ‘UCL’ are the registered trade marks of UCL and may not be used without permission.
