This Data Processing Statement (‘DPS’) concerns the School’s obligations as Data Controller for the purposes of processing your personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 (‘DPA’) and the General Data Protection Regulations 2018 (‘GDPR’).

The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (‘School’) is a ‘Data Controller’ of applicant and student data. Such data may include ‘Special Category personal data’ (as defined in the GDPR) about applicants and students that is provided to them by you or by third parties. For the audition fee waiver scheme, the processing of this data is necessary.

The School needs to process (that is, collect, use, store and ultimately destroy) personal information about you as a student to process your application for a fee waiver and monitor the effectiveness of the audition and interview fee waiver scheme. The information in this application will not be shared. The School is also obliged in some cases to collect information in line with legal requirements (for example to provide details of your attendance to the Office for Students).
