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 General Data Protection Regulation and associated data protection legislation.

How we use your data

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. 

We are processing your data for this purpose only because you have given us your consent to do so. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting Helen Adams at helen.adams@glam.ox.ac.uk. We will only be able to do this if you have provided your email address (as otherwise we will not be able to identify which data is yours) In this event, we will stop the processing as soon as we can. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your withdrawal of consent. 

If you have provided your email address, and your consent to contact you regarding further research into your use of the Museum of the History of Science venue or website, we may use your data to contact you about such research. Your email address will be downloaded and stored separately from the other data that you have provided.

We permit them to process your data only for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Where we share your data with a third party, we will seek to share the minimum amount necessary and only for the purposes for which you have given consent.

Retaining your data

Research data will be stored for a minimum of three years after publication or public release. In accordance with GDPR guidelines, you may request to access or delete your data at any time before then. We will only be able to do this if we are able to identify it as your data (ie if you have provided your email address).
