How we use your information when you register to receive email communications.
Student Recruitment & Admissions processes your personal data in order to send you relevant information about studying at the University of Edinburgh, as well as to let you know about further information opportunities such as Open Days.
We are using your personal data because you have given us consent to be added to our mailing list, or because you have consented to a third party sharing your data with us.

Student Recruitment & Admissions will hold the personal data you have provided to us until the end of the following calendar year. (e.g. if you subscribe to a mailing list in July 2022, we will hold your data until December 2023). After this period we will remove you from our contact database, unless you choose to re-subscribe. Alternatively, you can opt out of the mailing list at any time.
This processing of your personal data will have no impact on the outcome of any current or future application to the University of Edinburgh.
