It applies to information we collect about:
- website users, who also should see the cookies policy;
- College visitors and guests;
- pre-applicants (undergraduates and postgraduates);
- Unibuddy ('chat to students' service) users (pre-applicants and student ambassadors);
- applicants;
- students;
- alumni and supporters;
- applicants for positions in College (jobs, officers or senior membership);
- employees, workers and casual workers and contractors;
- senior members;
- Library users;
- event organisers (and other commercial contracts).
Your Rights
You have the following rights:
- to ask us for access to your personal data,
- to ask us to restrict processing (pending correction or deletion)

Some of these rights are not automatic, and we reserve the right to discuss with you why we might not comply with a request from you to exercise them.
Please note that Fitzwilliam College does not use automated decision making.
