I would suggest that they are acting as Data Processors. Surely there is a

> We have contacted UCAS who say they are happy that we send the files,

> individuals are not contacted in any way by the third party.

> We remain somewhat concerned because:
> * the files contain all institutions UCAS applicant data, not just
