Confidentiality and Data Protection

The University will treat your reference securely and in confidence. Confidential references normally are exempt from disclosure to the applicant under the terms of data protection legislation. Despite this, we often receive requests from applicants for copies of their references. By default we will not disclose your reference without checking with you first. Your own personal information (name, contact details, etc.) will be stored with your reference against the applicant’s record and will be retained in line with our standard procedures for applicant data (https://www.hr.admin.cam.ac.uk/hr-staff/hr-data/applicant-data).
