Ours is drawn up by our solicitors.
It is very long-winded.
I do not wish to comment on any connection between the above two
statements.

Data Protection Act 1998: Consent to process Information
I understand that the University collects information about all its
students for various administrative, academic, and health and safety
reasons. Because of the Data Protection Act 1998 I understand that the
University requires my consent before it can do this, since it cannot
operate the institution effectively without processing information about
me. I therefore agree to the University processing personal data
contained in my enrolment form, UCAS form or other data which the
University may obtain from me or other people, whilst I am a student, an
applicant, or a former student. I agree to the processing of such data
for any purposes connected with my studies or my health and safety
whilst on the premises or for any other legitimate reason. In
particular, I accept the University's policy of releasing personal
information to authorised bodies such as sponsors, government agencies,
and present/potential employers, but not to relatives or friends. I also
agree to the release of my results to my former school/college. I accept
the University's practice of displaying names on pass lists. I note that
the only data held on me which constitutes "sensitive data" as defined
in the above Act comprises my ethnic group and the disability
classification which I supplied to the University.
I understand that by registering for the use of University IT facilities
I will be issued with an email address. I agree to the publication of
this email address on the University's web site and understand that the
address will be available world-wide, including in countries where the
rights of data subjects are not protected by law. I understand that I
may opt to have my address withheld by contacting the Webmaster in the
Computing Services Department at the University.
