Data privacy and Information Security

Data privacy and information security is about how we - individually and as an organisation - handle, distribute, store and secure the data that we generate, collect and utilise. The Data Protection Act (2018) and General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) place clear responsibilities on higher education institutions particularly relating to personal data - the Loughborough approach is detailed here.
