Privacy Notice
Who are we?
We are the Widening Participation and Social Mobility team at the University of Southampton. We work with young people, teachers and other organisations to make sure everyone has a fair chance of doing well in school and can go as far as they want in education.
What is this Privacy Notice?
This Privacy Notice is for anyone who has taken part or is thinking about joining an activity run by the Widening Participation team at the University of Southampton.
We need information about the people who take part to run our activities effectively. This notice tells you about the information we collect and what we do with it.
How do we collect information about you?
If you are joining an activity that needs your information, we will usually collect your information directly from you or from your parents or carers.
If we are working with your school, or an organisation such as The Brilliant Club or IntoUniversity, we may receive your information from them. This only happens when we have agreed together on how to share your information safely and securely.
