This is essential for us to carry out your request for services and functions, and to manage our operations. We hold personal information and comply with the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA).
This privacy notice applies to any person who has applied to enter the Beyond the Frame competition.

As such we have security systems and procedures to protect information from unauthorised disclosure, misuse, or destruction.
What types of information we hold about you
When you apply to enter the competition, the personal information that we will collect includes your name, date of birth and contact details and, if you are under 13 years old, the name and contact details of your parent or guardian. The information collected also includes the institute where you are studying. We also ask for some information which is classed as ‘special category personal data’ this being your nationality and your country of domicile.
How and why we collect this information
We collect personal information from you to be able to process your application for the competition.
The University complies with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 2018 which sits alongside the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). Article 6 of the UK GDPR defines six different lawful grounds for an organisation to be permitted to process personal data, and the University is legally obliged to determine and advise you of under which of the legal bases your personal data is processed. We rely on consent from you, or your parent/guardian where you are under 13 years old, under Article 6(1)(a), as our legal basis and it is important to note that you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Information about your nationality and country of domicile is useful to the University as it helps us to measure the reach of the competition, helps us make sure we are being inclusive, and lets us see how we can improve our communications internationally. The University has to identify an appropriate lawful condition under Article 9 of the UK GDPR which is Article 9(2)(a) ‘explicit consent’.
How we use your information
The University uses your information in a number of ways. These may include;
- Crediting your work on the BTF website and BTF exhibition.
- Carrying out the functions and managing the operations of the BTF competition.
- Promoting and publicising the University and this competition.
Who we might share your information with
Your competition entry will be shared and credited with your name with the competition judges and shortlisted entries with sponsors. We may also share with third parties engaged by the University to launch on the internet, and to carry out the functions and manage the operations of the BTF competition.
How long we keep your information
We will keep your personal information only as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. This means that, we may display, reproduce and publish in any media, any entry, until one year after the closing date, for the sole purpose of promoting and publicising Norwich University of the Arts and this competition. We also may display all the shortlisted images on the competition website and archive for an indefinite period unless the entrant requests otherwise in writing to info@norwichuni.ac.uk
