How the University uses and protects your information

Abertay University collects and processes personal data for the purpose of administering the Code of Student Discipline: Academic Misconduct and the Code of Student Discipline: Non-Academic Misconduct. This data includes personal details such as names, student IDs, contact information, academic details, and information about the nature of the misconduct. Additionally, the University has a legal requirement to collect and monitor special category data, such as ethnicity, disability and religious beliefs, to ensure compliance with equality and diversity laws.

Most of the information the University processes is collected directly from the individuals involved, but can also be sourced from other internal and/or external parties. The data is used for investigating and responding to allegations, implementing support measures, and producing anonymized reports for University management and external regulatory bodies.

The data is stored securely and is only retained for as long as necessary, following specific retention guidelines. For more information on how the University uses and protects any personal information collected through administering the Code of Student Discipline: Academic Misconduct and the Code of Student Discipline: Non-Academic Misconduct, please refer to the Code of Student Discipline Privacy Notice.
