Personal information and data security

The Student Enrolment and Registration Form collects information that is required by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) by law, and which is used as the basis for your student record and the University’s monitoring of equal opportunities.

When you enrol onto a course delivered by CE, you accept that the University will collect, retain and process certain personal data about you, which will include sensitive personal data about you (for example, data concerning your racial/ethnic origins, criminal convictions, health and wellbeing).  The University will hold and process these data in accordance with its legitimate interests and the lawful basis of ‘public task’, in order to exercise its responsibilities, and to fulfil its education and support obligations to you.

The University will hold and process your personal data in compliance with our obligations as Data Controller under the General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018.  We will not share your data with third parties unless we have an appropriate consent from you, are under a statutory or regulatory obligation to do so (such as with Liverpool Guild of Students, Office for Students, Higher Education Statistics Authority, Student Loans Company, Skills Funding Agency, local authorities or the Police), or are otherwise permitted to do so under the aforementioned Acts of Parliament.

We are not able to enrol you if you do not complete all sections of the enrolment form.

In the interests of transparency, the University maintains a series of Privacy Statements which outline in more detail how it collects, retains and processes your personal data, which may be updated from time to time.  These are available via the link included in the top corner.
