Data protection
In the course of completing this application/registration form/membership form/document, you have provided information about yourself (‘personal data’). We (the University of Oxford) are the ‘data controller’ for this information, which means we decide how to use it and are responsible for looking after it in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and associated data protection legislation.
How we use your data
We will use your data to send you information about how to sign up as a volunteer and what to expect.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at communications@glam.ox.ac.uk. In this event, we will stop the processing as soon as we can.

We will only use your data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another related reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your data for an unrelated purpose, we will seek your consent to use it for that new purpose.
