We collect information about you when you order a copy of one of our prospectuses or register to attend an event such as an open day or taster session, or register your interest in one of our courses or apply for one of our courses. We collect information such as your name, date of birth, e-mail and postal address, event or course of interest in order to fulfil your request and, if consent is given, to send you further relevant information about the college, courses you’re interested in, accommodation or events relevant to your course of interest.
The information you provide will be used to supply the information requested and, if you consent, send you further printed materials or electronic communications about the Ascent School of Management London, the programmes we offer and our services, such as student support, course information, Promotions and scholarships. We may also contact you to conduct market research and quality assurance checks, for example we may ask you about your satisfaction with the information we provide and your experience of the admission process. We will not sell your data to third parties. We will also use the information you provide to evaluate the impact of our activities and track your progression through education if you have given us your consent.
Prior to application, we will process your data on the basis that you have given us consent to do so. Once you have applied to study at the college it has a legitimate interest to tell you about the college, its courses and other information you will need to make an informed decision about whether to attend the college. We also have a legal requirement to report back to the government based on a legitimate interest to widen participation for underrepresented groups in higher education.
In some of our activities, for example those related to widening participation to college from under- represented groups we need to collect data that is classified as special category (sensitive) personal data under data protection legislation, including details on ethnicity and race. This is processed based on public task under Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as this data is collected in the public interest of improving access to higher education and condition J of Article 9(2) of the GDPR which states: processing is necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes to safeguard the fundamental rights and the interests of the data subject. This data may also be shared with government bodies, or organizations working on behalf of the government for research and analysis purposes.
Your information will be processed by the college, awarding bodies working with the college for awarding the programs, and organizations working on its behalf (for example a company which posts letters on the college’s behalf) who have GDPR compliant processes in place. We will also share your information with any of our related partners, subsidiaries, awarding bodies, subcontractors and employees who provide services to you. We will share your information with the company who provide the Online Library services to create an account and get the access for the library. We may also share your information with other organizations if we sell or buy any business or assets, if we or a substantial part of our company assets are acquired by another party, if we have to share your information to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or if we have to enforce Our Terms and Conditions or any other agreements.
We may transfer your information to process, or store it, outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) in countries which do not have data protection laws as robust as those that are in place within the EEA. Please do not send us your information if you do not want it to be transferred or stored outside the EEA. By providing your information to us, you agree and consent to us transferring and storing it outside the EEA. Whenever data is transferred from one location to another it will always be in a secure, encrypted or password protected format.
General information you provide to us will be held for two years. If, however, you become an applicant you will be subject to other notices that we will provide to you and your data will be held in line with the college’s retention schedule. To evaluate the long-term impact of our widening participation activities, we will keep your data until five years after you have completed your program unless you tell us otherwise.
If you have given your consent and you wish to withdraw it, you can opt out at any point by contacting us directly.
