What is research? It is generally understood by universities that research makes an original contribution to knowledge. Research conducted by our staff and students is always intended to make an original contribution to knowledge. What is 'personal data'? ‘Personal data’ means any information which relates to or identifies an individual. This includes information which may not explicitly identify you (e.g. where your name has been removed) but which does make it possible to identify you if it is combined with other information that is readily available. For example, this might be because the information available contains a postcode, your gender and date of birth, and in these circumstances it might be possible to identify you by using other information available elsewhere. We would therefore treat the details we hold as personal information and protect it accordingly.
