Privacy Statement for Applicants & Registered Students Information for applicants about how we use your personal data and who we share it with. 12.1.1. We obtain your personal data from the following sources:
        1. From student application, and any additional information that you provide as part of thepre or post-application enquiry, to supplement or clarify student application, or as part offeedback request, appeal or complaint;
        2. From third party sources, where we ensure that the third party source has lawfulauthority to provide us with your personal data.
        12.1.2. The information that you provide will be used to provide you with accurate pre- application information, advice and guidance, for the assessment of your application, to invite you to take part in events and workshops, and for the considerations of appeals and complaints.
        12.1.3. There are various legal bases for why we use your information. Here is a brief explanation of each of the legal bases:
        1. Consent: On specific occasions iMADE will only process certain data if the student consents. For example, on your application, you only need to provide certain “special categories” of data to successfully complete registration.
        2. Necessary to enter into a student Contract: On many occasions iMADE will process your data to enable it to meet its commitment to you.
        3. Necessary for the performance of a task carried in public interest: iMADE is an educational establishment and in particular its educational activity is conducted in public interest ( including your interest and interest of others).
        4. Necessary for the purposes of legitimate interest of iMADE or a third-party subject to overridden interests of data subjects: iMADE ( and sometimes third- parties) has broader legitimate interest in activities that connect to the activities and education of students. Subject to those interests not being overridden by the interest of fundamental rights and freedom of students, it will pursue those interests. A good example of this legitimate interest would be conducting surveys to better understand people’s reasons for declining an offer of a place.
        5. Automated decision making: It is necessary for the performance of the contract for registered students- if iMADE is required to automate decisions relating to the services it is providing you.
        Special Category data is personal data which is more sensitive, and so needs to be protected. This data would include anything that reveals racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious, or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sexual orientation. To process these types of data additional legal bases are required:
        1. Processing “special categories” data where you have given consent- iMADE will process certain sensitive information about you with your consent,
        2. Processing “special categories” of data where necessary for substantial interest of students and iMADE.
        12.1.4. We do not use profiling or automated decision-making processes. Some processes are semi-automated ( such as anti-fraud matching), but a human decision maker will always be involved before any decision is reached in relation to registered students.
        12.1.5. iMADE is made up of many services and departments who collect, process and store your data in a variety of subsystems to deliver their services. The local systems are part of the corporately supported IT architecture which maintains a live service as well as copies of the live systems used for software development and testing. These software development and testing systems will also contain your data and respect iMADE data retention periods. It is in the legitimate interest of iMADE to use your data in this way to ensure that the services that you interact with are secure and provide the best student experience possible. 12.1.6. Your information may be used to allow us to carry our surveys. This includes a feedback survey sent to students who have completed their studies at iMADE, or feedback survey to students and participants of iMADE workshops and events, and help us to improve our services and the applicant and student experience. 12.1.7. We may analyze data on application, offers and acceptance in order to:
        1. Understand the relationship between students qualifications and achievement and performance at applied course at iMADE,
        2. Assess underrepresentation in different groups of student
        3. Assess the impact of:
        a. b. c. d.
        Contextual admissions Admission policies Changes in education and exam systems Government initiatives
        While we will where possible use anonymised data for these purposes, in some cases we will use personal where there is a legitimate interest in doing so. Where we use personal data for these purposes, we will ensure that any published information is anonymised. 12.1.8. Development and Alumni works with the academic community to engage alumni in the life and services of iMADE. We ensure that the alumni are provided with an array of services and opportunities to connect with new updates and opportunities in the academic front throughout their lifetime, and are inspired to support and teach current students. We use the personal data of the alumni to provide services and opportunities, to promote development of Alumni networks around the world, to ensure our communications are timely and appropriate, to enable us to make better decisions, use our resources effectively. We take appropriate steps to ensure that we only record and ensure that we only record and store personal data which is relevant, that we keep it securely, that it is accurate and up-to-date, and kept for an appropriate length of time.
        12.2. iMADE uses the information from student application:
        1. To process student applications, to collect feedback and send course relatedinformations and updates;
        2. If the application is successful, iMADE will also use the information it holds about you todeliver desired courses, to provide educational and support services, to monitor your performance and attendance, to collect feedback and for management activities such as strategic planning, statistical analysis, equal opportunities monitoring and maintaining our IT systems.
