The Students' Union values the privacy and security of the personal data of our students and staff

We are bound by the rules prescribed in the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and associated laws along with other best practice

There are many cloud applications hosted on the internet which help us provide a better service to our members

However the integrity and security of some providers may not achieve the high standards we require

Applications that MAY BE USED with no personal data

 

Use of online applications and services that have no personally identifiable data uploaded to them may continue to be utilised.  Be aware however that many types of data become identifiable when combined with others!  Initials on an agenda denoting the speaker combined with University of Essex Students' Union specifically identifies who the person is and thus must not be used anywhere online except from the approved list

New software/application approval

We know that you are the expert in whichever aspect of the Students' Union you work in, that's why we employ you!  If you have found a particular application on the web that is uniquely suited to helping you work smarter let us know.  Email pete@essex.ac.uk and explain why you need it, why it fits the purpose so specifically and briefly why the approved software above does not.  We'll check the boring legal aspects and create a SU account for you, your coworkers and your successors.  If it's that good and could be utilised acrioss the SU we'll do that too and shout about your excellent find to the whole organisation.

There is a New Software Application Assessment Form to complete on the U:\Drive
