Your privacy is important to us.

 

Advanced Studies in England Privacy Policy

It is in the legitimate interest of Advanced Studies in England to collect and retain some personal and academic information in order to be able to fulfil requirements connected with the running of the programme, including such tasks as the issuing of transcripts or the writing of references. 

The personal data stored and processed by the Programme includes:

  • biographic information consisting of your name, title, gender and date of birth

  • your contact details including addresses, email addresses and phone numbers

  • information about your academic institution and activities (for instance, your GPA)

  • records of communications sent to you by ASE or received from you

  • information about your use of the ASE website

You may request a copy of all the information held, or to suppress the release of personal information, or opt out of receiving ASE communications, by contacting ASE’s Data Protection Officer (admin@asebath.org) by email, in writing, or verbally, and we will comply within one calendar month of the request being received. When emailing us to suppress the release of data, please specify which personal data you wish to keep hidden from directories, or which communication channels (email, regular mail, telephone calls) you no longer wish to receive.

If you find inaccuracies in the personal data we hold, you have the right to have it corrected, and to have incomplete personal data completed. Again, inform ASE’s Data Protection Officer by email, in writing, or verbally of the error or omission, and we will make the necessary adjustments within one calendar month.

You have the right to have your personal data erased (this is known as the ‘right to be forgotten’). Contact ASE’s Data Protection Officer by email, in writing, or verbally, and we will remove all data (barring that required to fulfil our legal and statutory obligations, and we will inform you of those circumstances) within one calendar month.

You have the right to move, copy, or transfer your personal data. Contact ASE’s Data Protection Officer by email, in writing, or verbally, and we will provide the data in an accessible format within one calendar month.

In all cases, if we are unable to comply with your request within one calendar month we will contact you with an explanation as to why we cannot do so, and a revised date for completion.

You have the right to restrict our processing of your personal data whilst we update, complete, remove, or otherwise address your concerns with our use of your data.

If you feel that we are not complying with data protection law you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Advanced Studies in England has taken all reasonable precautions to secure the personal information available through the online community. However, a certain degree of privacy risk is faced any time information is shared over the Internet.

Your personal information will not be used for any commercial or philanthropic purpose not directly connected with Advanced Studies in England. Unless we are required by law, your personal information will not be lent or sold to any other individual or organisation. Should we decide to use an outside organisation to assist us in analysing and processing data, we will inform you beforehand by email, and provide you with the means to refuse permission to have your data shared in this way.

Non-personal data

We collect data on where and for how long visitors access this site, but we do not know their personal identities when we do so. Usage data tell us which site pages are popular and indicate visitor preferences, helping us to improve our communications and offerings.

We use cookies, a small piece of information stored on your Web browser on your computer, to store an active login session. This can enhance your experience when you are visiting our website and going back and forth between the public and private, alumni-only area of the site. Once you close your Web browser, this session cookie automatically terminates. Regarding cookies, you can set up your Web browser to inform you when cookies are set, or to prevent cookies from being set if that is your preference.

When we send emails, we may track who opened the emails and who clicked on any of the links in the email. We do this occasionally in order to measure the performance of our email communications and to improve our offerings to specific groups of the ASE community.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to make changes or additions to this policy at any time. If those changes involve using your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time you joined, the site will notify you by e-mail. Changes that do not affect the use of personally identifiable information will be posted to the site.
