The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Bill replaced the previous European Directive and UK Data Protection Act 1998.
The regulation considerably changed the data protection law in many areas, harmonising and ending the inconsistent approaches taken by different countries. It enabled people to exert better control of their personal data. Modernising rules allow for a ‘one -stop shop’ which reduced the complex need to deal with multiple Data Protection Authorities, where businesses operate across multiple countries.
Your personal data will only be stored whilst it is relevant (e.g. for managing the progress of your apprenticeship) and will not be disclosed to any person without your written authority, or. unless required by law.
Further information on how we will use your data can be found in your Apprenticeship Learning Agreement and by reviewing the Education and Skills Funding Agency Privacy Notice, which you can find here.
