Shape Your Surrey survey privacy notice

To make the survey as easy as possible to complete, some data that you have already supplied to the University is preloaded.

This data is about your:

• Course
• Fee status
• Year of birth
• Nationality.

If you have any questions about your pre-loaded data, please contact shapeyoursurrey@surrey.ac.uk.

Please be aware that in your open comments in the survey, you may be inadvertently identifying yourself. However, this does not change how the data will be processed. If you are concerned about data which could identify you being shared with our partners, then please take care in the wording of your open comments.

For any concerns about your open comments, please contact shapeyoursurrey@surrey.ac.uk.

Your data will only be shared with i-graduate who will analyse your answers and share them back with the University.

Your responses will also be anonymously aggregated with other student responses to provide averages for benchmark results for comparison.

If you would like more detailed information, please read i-graduate’s Data Privacy Policy.

All the data we gather from the survey will be kept for 10 years after the survey closes, however we will remove any identifying information one year after the survey closes.
