Any transfers of data will be done securely and in accordance with best practice and in compliance with the relevant data protection legislation.
To assist with the organisation of an event we may pass names and College final class year to the event organiser, and this may include alumni volunteers. Only your name and class year details will be passed on, no personal contact details will be shared unless we sought your permission to do so.

We aim to ensure that our communications with you are relevant and secure. Communications may be sent by post, or electronic means or we may phone you, depending on the preferences you have indicated.
If you wish to alter how you receive communications or you wish to stop receiving communications altogether, you can change your preferences by contacting us at the details in Section 7.
6. Your Rights
We wish to build lasting relationships with our alumni community, which can be ‘from the cradle to the grave’ and will retain at least minimal information of your name, date of birth and class years. However, we appreciate that some members of our community may wish to restrict data processing or prefer not to be contacted by the College, in which case, please let us know. Please note that this minimal information is always retained but is suppressed in our records to ensure that you are not contacted inadvertently, e.g., invited to a Class Reunion.
You can amend the information we hold about you, or your communication preferences, at any time by contacting us directly – see Section 7 for contact details.
We will publish any changes we make to this data protection policy on our website. You have the right to access the personal data which the College holds about you. This is called a Subject Access Request.
