Depending on how you interact with University for Life, we may collect:

• Your name and email address.
• Your professional role, interests and areas of expertise.
• Information you voluntarily share through community interest forms.
• Your preferences for participating in community activities.
• Your communication preferences and marketing consent.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

Respond to enquiries

When you contact us or complete an expression-of-interest form, we use your details to respond and provide relevant information.

Support community participation

We use the information you provide to understand your interests, invite you to relevant community activities and facilitate participation.

Organise events and learning activities

We may use contact information to communicate about meetings, workshops, learning programmes and collaborative projects in which you have expressed an interest.

Develop collaborative opportunities

Where appropriate, we may contact you about potential projects or introductions that relate to interests you have shared. We will seek your permission before sharing your personal contact details with prospective collaborators.

Provide professional services

Where you enquire about or purchase coaching, consultancy, training or other services, we use information necessary to respond, arrange and deliver those services.

Send optional wider communications

Where you have provided valid consent, we may send occasional news, events, publications and opportunities from University for Life beyond the community you originally contacted us about.

You can withdraw your consent to these communications at any time.

5. Our Legal Basis for Using Personal Information

We process personal information under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), relying on the lawful basis appropriate to each activity.

Legitimate interests

We may rely on legitimate interests to respond to enquiries, administer community participation and maintain appropriate relationships with people who have contacted us, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Consent

We rely on consent where required, including for optional wider marketing communications and certain uses of personal information.

Contract

Where you engage us to provide a professional service, we may process information necessary to enter into or fulfil our agreement with you.

Legal obligation

We may retain or use certain information where required to comply with applicable legal obligations.

6. Our Communities

University for Life is developing several interconnected learning communities, including Educators, Leaders, Social Entrepreneurs, Activists and Researchers.

Each community has its own purpose and activities.

Expressing interest in one community does not automatically enrol you in another community or subscribe you to unrelated marketing communications.

We respect members’ choices about where and how they participate.

Some community activities may involve discussions of personal experiences, identity, beliefs or sensitive social issues. We encourage members to share only what they feel comfortable sharing.

Where special-category personal information is processed, we will identify an appropriate additional legal condition and apply suitable safeguards.

7. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate our website, deliver communications, organise events or provide services.

These may include website hosting providers, email services, form-processing services and online meeting platforms.

We may also share information where legally required.

We will not share your personal contact details with other community members or prospective collaborators without an appropriate lawful basis and, where relevant, your permission.

8. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

These measures may include restricted access, appropriate account security, software updates, secure storage and careful management of information shared with service providers.

No online system can guarantee absolute security, but we aim to handle personal information responsibly and minimise unnecessary risks.

9. How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Community enquiry records are reviewed periodically and deleted or anonymised when no longer needed.

If you withdraw from a community or ask us to stop contacting you, we will stop the relevant communications and assess whether any information must be retained for legitimate or legal reasons.

Information relating to paid services or financial transactions may need to be retained for longer to meet legal and accounting obligations.

Our retention periods are determined by the purpose of the information, the nature of our relationship with you and applicable legal requirements.

10. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your information in certain circumstances.
• Request restrictions on how your information is used.
• Object to certain processing activities.
• Request transfer of your information where applicable.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

You have the right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the details in Section 2.

You also have the right to raise concerns with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
