Data privacy statement
This privacy information supplements the Widening Participation data protection notice which explains how we comply with data protection legislation. The information below provides some detail on what we will do with your application response.
If you have any questions about how your data will be used, please contact the team at Outreach@cardiff.ac.uk
This application form will be used to ascertain eligibility for the step-up programme and to contact you should you be successful in gaining a place. We’ll also use information for evaluating our activities, monitoring their effectiveness and purposes, to see whether our participants go on to study in higher education. This data will also inform research which helps us ensure we are interacting with students from a broad range of students.
Data and information used for evaluation and reporting purposes will be anonymised should it be shared or published. Personal data from individuals who participate in Widening Participation activities will be retained for a minimum period of 5 years after the end of the project.
The Step Up programme offers a range of benefits, such as contextual offers and guaranteed interviews for eligible students. Therefore, your data will be retained and shared with relevant Cardiff University departments (e.g. academic schools, the admissions team) to ensure eligible applicants receive those benefits.
