Hartree Centre SAFE User registration service and Data Protection

At STFC (being a Council under, and part of, United Kingdom Research and Innovation), we intend to make sure that we maintain the UK as a world-leader in science and technology research - integral to this is our commitment to protecting and safeguarding your data privacy.

It is part of STFC’s public purpose to provide services such as SAFE. In order to effectively provide that service to you, we need to collect information about you and may need to contact you from time to time with regards to its provision.

STFC considers it to be in its legitimate interest to enable anyone who has signed up to access the SAFE service that it should be able to efficiently manage the provision and ongoing review and monitoring of that service for their benefit. STFC therefore requests and securely holds the data which it requires for these purposes. Please ensure that, for so long as you are accessing the SAFE service, the information that you have provided to us is kept up to date.

We will share your information with selected third parties only as necessary to conduct occasional impact evaluation studies.
