Why do we process your personal information and what are the ‘legal bases for processing’?
We can only process your personal information if one of the following applies:
- You provide consent for us to process your personal information, based on clear and specific information, with a genuine choice (without any pressure), and the ability to change your mind at any time. You may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing Emily.2.robinson@kcl.ac.uk
How will your information be used – what are the purposes of the processing?

If we need to transfer any information to a country not recognised as providing equivalent protection, we will use additional safeguards approved by UK or EU regulators.
Do you have to provide your personal information and what are the consequences of not doing so?
You must provide the personal information requested by law, or a contract. If you do not, you will not be able to join our training modules.
How long do we keep your information for?
We will keep your information until the grant used to fund this programme is closed in 2023 in order to ensure we can continue our operations and meet our reporting obligations.
Do we share your information with other organisations?
Your personal information may be shared with:
- MailChimp: Mailing/Marketing activities
- Office 365: Cloud storage, communications and reporting activities
What are your rights?
