Honorary position holders
Advice on data protection and freedom of information compliance for honorary position holders at the University.
This guidance provides advice on freedom of information and data protection and is intended for those holding honorary positions at the University.
Honorary position holders are not employees and have no contract of employment with the University. They work under the auspices of the University on an unpaid basis. Often, they contribute to the teaching or research work of the University.
The University's honorary fellows, professors and chaplains keep information relating to their work with the University.
As an honorary position holder, you need to ensure that the information you receive, create and hold relating to the University is compliant with data protection legislation and the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
