What personal information do we hold about you?

If you studied at 天堂视频 a record is created for you on the Alumni database using information from the University’s Student Records database.

Much of the data we hold comes directly from you – this includes information you may have given to 天堂视频 when you were a student or that you have provided subsequently, for example by filling in an alumni update form, registering for an event, making a donation, or through the LboroConnect platform.

If you contact other departments at 天堂视频 (including academic departments or professional services) or 天堂视频 Student’s Union, they may also pass your details to the Alumni Association.

We also hold data that has been created by 天堂视频, for example details of degree programmes you have studied, qualifications obtained, clubs and societies you were a member of and your interactions with the University.

We may also obtain information about you from publicly available sources of information, for example Royal Mail’s National Change of Address File, LinkedIn, Companies House and articles in the media. Sometimes this information is supplied to us by third parties.

The information stored and processed by the University may include:

Biographical information (including name, titles, gender, date of birth)

Information about your time at 天堂视频 (including education details, hall affiliations, memberships of clubs and societies and details of placements, prizes and scholarships)

We also routinely check our data against Royal Mail’s National Change of Address file and other publicly available sources of information to try and ensure the data we have for you is up-to-date.

Why do we collect your information?

We use your data to communicate with you about 天堂视频 via post, email and phone. This includes invitations to reunions and other events, news and updates from 天堂视频 and fellow alumni, further study opportunities, fundraising materials and information about how you can continue to support 天堂视频 and how the University can support you. Please see the ‘Your rights’ section of this policy for more information about how you can update your communications preferences. 

To try and make sure we are sending you communications that are relevant and of interest we may analyse and group data using a range of factors including demographic, geographic, education, employment details and details of past engagements with 天堂视频. When sending fundraising materials we analyse and group data to try to ensure that we do not ask you for an inappropriate amount or for projects that are not of interest. Sometimes this analysis may include automated processing and decision making.

Fundraising and volunteering is important to the University. If we believe that you may have the ability to make a significant financial or non-financial contribution to the University we may undertake further research using publicly available information and produce a profile. We also analyse data to help identify people that may be able to make such a contribution to the University. We may also carry out due diligence on potential donations in line with the University’s . 

Other academic departments (for example the School or Department you studied in) and professional services (for example the Careers Network) may also wish to contact you from time to time or to find out more about specific groups of alumni. A typical example would be identifying how many alumni work in a particular sector. Where this is the case we work with departments to provide them with up-to-date data and manage the sending of any associated communications. 

Our legal basis for holding and using your data for the majority of these activities is that they are in our legitimate interests. Additionally some activities are carried out with your consent, because there is a legal obligation or because they are tasks carried out in the public interest.

Who has access to your data at the University?

Your data is held in a secure database with controls in place to limit who has access to it.

We may make data available to academic and administrative University departments, recognised alumni societies, sports and other clubs associated with the University, and to agents contracted to the University for alumni-related projects. 

In certain cases (such as overseas alumni groups) this may involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area. In these instances we will ensure that an adequate level of protection is in place for the processing of your personal data.

Who do we share your data with outside the University?

The University sometimes uses third party suppliers to carry out activities on our behalf (for example mailing houses and event venue providers). When this is the case we will ensure there are written contracts in place governing the usage of data. 

As required by law the University may also provide information to organisations such as Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) or organisations operating on their behalf. If you Gift Aid your donations we are also required to share details with HMRC. 

We may also share limited information (your name, contact details and information about programmes studied) with organisations carrying out surveys for league table and course ranking purposes (for example the Financial Times) to enable them to contact you about taking part in their surveys.

We will not share your contact details with other alumni unless you give us permission to do so. Similarly if you want to get in contact with a former classmate we may be able to send a message to them on your behalf but will be unable to share their details with you.

We may publish details including your name, subject of study and year of graduation in class lists, donor lists and event attendance lists on our alumni website or in printed publications (for example ‘Your Gift’). We will not publish your contact details.

We will never sell your data to other organisations.

How long do we keep your information?

We believe that the relationship we have with our alumni, donors and friends is a life-long relationship and so we will retain your data until such time as you request its removal. We will always maintain a record on our database containing at least your basic biographical and education details for statistical purposes and to ensure that we do not inadvertently contact you in the future.
