9.5. Who will have access to my student engagement data?

We understand the importance of protecting your personal data. Your student engagement data is used solely for welfare and support purposes, helping the University provide tailored assistance when needed.

Who Can See Your Data?

Only two groups of people have access to your engagement data:

1. Support and Academic Staff

   • This includes PG Law Student Support Officers and academic staff directly involved in your programme.
   • Access is limited to staff who work directly with you—not across the entire University.

2. Technical and System Support Staff

   • This includes Queen Mary IT staff and, where applicable, external software providers who maintain the engagement monitoring systems.
   • These individuals access data only for system maintenance and development purposes.

All staff accessing your data must comply with strict data protection regulations.

How Your Data Is Used

• Your data may be anonymised and aggregated with other students’ data to identify trends and improve support services.
• When used in this way, it is not possible to identify you personally.

What Your Data Will Not Be Used For

• It will not be shared with third parties (e.g. employers).
• It will not affect your module marks or student record.
• It will never be used for the Prevent scheme.
• It is processed in accordance with Queen Mary’s Data Protection Policy and Student Privacy Notice.
