Legal basis of processing
By giving us your contact details, you are opting in to be contacted by us and receive information about those or similar topics here at the University of Westminster. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose. We will retain this information only for as long as these purposes remain valid. We may aggregate and anonymise data for wider internal management reporting. We will not share your information with any other organisation.
Right to work checks
To enable us to confirm that you have the right to work in the UK, the University will need to carry out a right to work check before you start work. For UK and Irish passport holders the University has contracted TrustID to carry out digital checks. We will use the email address you have provided on the nomination form to send you a link within the TrustID platform. TrustIDs privacy notice can be found at the TrustIDs webpage.
