The definition of personal data is quite broad so we have listed below the main types of data we
specifically collect.

How we use your information

We will use your personal information for the following reasons:

 to give you with the services you have paid for

 to give you information you have asked for (e.g. student magazine)
 administrative purposes (e.g. applications, payment, registration & inductions)
 to follow laws and regulations in relation to requests from statutory agencies (such as
the Information Commissioner’s Office, British Council, English UK, police, HMRC, UKBA
etc)
 to tell you about changes to our services
 to reply to any questions or enquiries.

We do not:

 analyse your personal information as part of any profiling

 use any kind of automated decision-making
 make use of any other additional external information about our users, either obtained
directly or via third parties
 pass this personal data onto any third party unless it is necessary to carry out the
service you have requested (for example, our annual declaration for accreditation
purposes)

 use any personal data collected for a different purpose as to those indicated above.

Your consent

We will ask for consent at the point of collecting your data. Sometimes we may process data
without consent when we are legally allowed to do so and where it is in our interests. This is
provided we respect your rights.

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Any time you do not wish to receive further
information about us and our services, or you wish to change your contact details or
preferences, contact us at in@bcol.co.uk or call 0121 212 0888. You can also write to us at
Birmingham College, 9 Margaret Street, Birmingham, B3 3BS.

If you want no further contact from us, and if we are legally required to store the information,
this will continue to be saved until the legal expiry date and we will keep some basic contact
information in order to stop sending you unwanted materials in future, and to ensure that we
do not accidentally store details for the same person multiple times.
