Privacy Notice for Online Applications

This privacy notice information is provided in addition to the main Student Applicants Privacy Notice

Manchester Metropolitan work closely with online application service providers such as Vevox, Mentimeter, Kahoot and Nearpod to deliver a range of interactive services, such as live polling, Q&A sessions, discussion groups and surveys. These providers act as processors for the University under contract. When you are invited to use one of these applications, you do not have to provide any personal data – you do not have to use your real name, or provide any identifying information in any responses you provide whilst using the service. If you do choose to be identifiable, we process your information under our legitimate interests.

The provider will retain any data you provide for a maximum of 12 months, after which point it will be deleted from their servers. The information may be transferred to local Manchester Metropolitan University servers for a longer period, in line with the University’s retention and disposal schedule. For information provided by students as a part of a course, the retention period as a maximum will be for the duration of the course.

If you are a student with a query around the use of the apps in your learning please get in touch with your tutor that is using the app with you. Your tutor can contact us further if  they are unable to answer your query.

If you are a member of staff and you have questions about how your data is used, we have our Apps intranet page available, which includes all of the apps in the toolkit as well as further support. Alternatively, staff and external users of the application can raise a query with the IT helpline where it will be passed to the most appropriate team. You can contact the helpline by using the assist portal , calling on 0161 247 4646 or via the live chat service

Further information about each application is available in their terms and conditions. For information about your data subject rights and how to contact our data protection officer please see our data subject rights page. You can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office here.
