LJMU will collect personal data from you for several reasons, and will at all times do so in compliance with the principles of the GDPR, and for one of the legal basis set out in Article 6 of the Regulation.

We are processing your information in order to provide technical support.

The lawful basis is Article 6 (F) - that LJMU have legitimate interests in collecting this data.

Your rights

As a data subject, you have a number of rights. You can:

  • access and obtain a copy of your data on request, this could be in a portable electronic format
  • require the University to change incorrect or incomplete data if you think that it is inaccurate or out of date

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact the Data Protection Officer DPO@ljmu.ac.uk.

If you do not provide data

We are unable to respond to your request if you do not provide us with sufficient contact details. If you would like to seek access to your own records then for security reasons we will not be able to disclose this to you without verification of your identity.

Transfers of data outside the UK

Generally, we do not send your personal data outside the UK. However, in some specific cases, we may transfer the personal data we collect to countries outside the UK in order to perform our contract with you or a contract with another organisation that requires your personal data, for example a collaboration agreement with a university based outside of the UK. Where we do this, we will ensure that your personal information is protected by way of an ‘adequacy regulation’ with the UK or by putting alternative appropriate measures in place to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the UK laws on data protection. For example model contractual clauses, data sharing and data processing agreement and binding corporate rules (where applicable).

Automated decision-making

We will not make any decisions about you automatically using a computer, based on your personal data. All decisions affecting you will be taken by a human.
