This looks very thin to me. Surely UCAS need at least to say what the
prupose(s) of the processing is? The 1998 Act is quite specific about what
data subject need to be told.

Subject: response from UCAS on application form
I thought the following response from UCAs would be useful
for academic colleagues.
I am not sure that 'consent to the processing' is sufficient
should processing not be expanded?
What do others think?
