The MDXSU Privacy Notice outlines the kinds of personal information we collect, how we use personal information, who we share it with and your rights regarding the personal information you provide to us. Please note, this Privacy Notice does not apply to websites or services operated by third parties. You can view the Privacy Notice in full here, or a summary below.
We have a Data Sharing Agreement with the University which allows us to automatically collect information about students when they register with the University, unless they opt-out of membership of their Students' Union. The purpose of this is outlined below.
We may collect additional information from you when registering with or using some of our services - for example, when purchasing tickets or memberships on our website, using the MDXSU Advice service, or applying for job opportunities with us.
We will not collect any sensitive personal information from you without your consent to do so. We will retain your data for a set period.
We collect different types of information about our members, elected representives, website users and employees for the following main reasons:
We are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations (May 2018) and with the data principles set out within it.
Your information will be visible to Union staff responsible for administering membership and this website for the purposes of providing our services and resolving account issues. Unless there is legitimate purpose and shared interest, we will not share any individual user details (including your email address) to any third party without your consent.
For example, should you join an activity group, some details will be made available to the group committee.
We will also share your data with some third parties, including OneVoice, who provide the UnionCloud platform and host the MDXSU database, and Google Analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics collecting information about you on this website and other websites by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Extension.
We may also disclose personal information about you to comply with applicable laws and when requested to do so by law enforcement agencies or government bodies.
For full details, view our Privacy Notice.
By completing MDXSU surveys or feedback requests, you consent to providing personal data and views as requested therein. The collection and use of this data will be made clear to you when you choose to participate, and will be in accordance with this policy.
We use online survey software provided by SurveyHero.com, who support our work by providing MDXSU - as a non-profit organisation - with free access to their software. You can view Survey Hero's Privacy Policy here.
We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and Privacy Notice. All changes will be posted here. Where the changes are significant, we may also choose to email all our registered users to advise them of updates.
