PRIVACY
Worcester College handles a large amount of personal data, and we take data privacy very seriously. The College has published separate privacy notices which are applicable to the various groups of people the College interacts with and its activities which involve the processing of personal data.
Freedom of Information
We are committed to being transparent and promoting the public’s understanding of the College’s activities, as far as is reasonably possible under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
We also recognise that certain information is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act. We cannot release information that is archived, out of date, or otherwise inaccessible. We also reserve the right to not release information if it would be impractical or resource-intensive to prepare this information to be regularly released. We reserve the right to charge for printed copies of some documents available on the website, to cover administrative costs.
