Introduction

UPSU recognises the General Data Protection Regulations and the Privacy of Electronic Communications Regulations as the primary statutory responsibilities relating to data handling and processing. To this end every individual employee, student role, member, or contractor handling data collected or administered by the UPSU must take responsibility and due consideration for its appropriate use in line with this policy and the declared processing activities. The specific arrangements for handling, processing and administering data can be found on our privacy statement

Freedom of Information Act

The Students’ Union, although a representative body for students at a publicly funded institution, is not itself a public body. The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOI Act”) only applies to public bodies. Any FOI requests which come into the Students’ Union should be forwarded to the Data Protection Officer for review and response – the standard response is that the FOI Act does not apply to the Students’ Union and therefore the information will not be provided.
