- Data protection
-
Under the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we were required to inform those providing corroborating evidence or contact details for REF impact case studies as to how their personal data would be used, shared and stored to support our submission to REF 2021.
We must have obtained their affirmative, fully-informed consent to use this material, with their accompanying identifying data, in – or to support – our impact case studies.
For further information, please see the University of Sussex Privacy Notice for REF 2021. There is also an associated consent form, which is available to download on the REF 2021 and Data Protection page. This consent form is for GDPR compliance only. There may be other implications for including material in an impact case study (e.g. commercial sensitivity, confidentiality), which may require additional permissions to be secured.
