Data Protection Law is changing. St Hilda’s College now needs your explicit permission to stay in touch. We will only be able to invite you to our events, inform you of our achievements, let you know about our latest news and products, and invite you to support the College, if you have formally consented to being contacted. The new law is called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and it is effective from 25 May 2018. It is a wide-ranging law, which governs how organisations use the personal data of individuals.
