I would agree with Sarah - the data cannot be personal when it is received
by HESA as it is not possible to identify any living person from it - HESA
cannot link the HESA number to a name. Therefore the member of staff will
not have a right to the data sent to HESA, but they will probably have a
right to the data as stored by the university, because it is presumably
linked to their personal record at that stage, and will link to their name.
