What information do we collect about you?
We collect personal information in the form of your appearance, voice and distinguishing features through recording video and photoshoots ('Image data'), and we may also ask to collect identifiable data to allow us to track you in our systems, such as your name and contact details.
How will we use the information about you?
We use your video and/or photographs in our marketing materials related to the research, teaching and reputational promotion of the University of Nottingham. Photographs and video may be published online, in print, used in promotional materials at events or in advertising and broadcast. We may share personal information with partner organisations where they are using data for compatible purposes. We may use your personal details to personalise footage/photos we take of you but we'll only include this if you agree to it. Otherwise we will only use your details to identify you within our system to help us ensure your right to erasure.
How long do we keep your data for?
Image data may be retained in perpetuity as historical and archival records of the University of Nottingham. Where image data is determined to be not appropriate for these purposes, it will be securely destroyed.

A full list of these third parties is available from External Relations upon request, and all third parties must sign a data agreement with us before being allowed to process data ensuring that they treat your data with care. Sometimes we may wish to pass on photographs and video to the press for wider publication in stories relating to the University of Nottingham and the Higher Education sector as a whole.
