Timetabling privacy notice

We hold and process personal data about staff and students who make a timetabling enquiry or book a central teaching room. The personal data we hold about you can consist of:

• Name
• URN
• Email address
• Telephone extension number
• Department
• Details of the booking you wish to make, such as start and end times
• Location of room.

We only collect the data we need and keep that data up to date.

We receive this data from you when you complete the timetabling enquiry form or central teaching room booking request form.

The University collects only the data we need and we keep the data up to date and only for as long as it is needed. We collect your personal data on these forms in our legitimate interests, to manage your room booking and provide you with information about your booking enquiry.

Our legitimate interests will never override your right to privacy and the freedoms that require the protection of your personal data.

The University processes personal data and special category data in accordance with data protection legislation and its own Data Protection Policy. Your data is held within the University’s CMIS Timetabling system to manage room bookings.

We do not share your information with any third parties.

The University processes personal data and special category data in accordance with data protection legislation and Our Data Policy Statement (PDF) (incorporating Information Security Policy).

We keep your personal data in accordance with the University’s retention schedules. This means that your data is kept for three years and then destroyed.

As an individual whose data we process (a data subject), you have certain rights in relation to the processing. Find detailed information about your rights as a data subject.
