Dear Sanaz,

Thank you for your request under the information Act of 2000. Your reference number is FOI20-357.

Due to the exceptional circumstances caused by current global events there may be some delay in responding to your information request. Following the guidance from the ICO the Information Governance Team continue to work to the timelines set out in law however while the University transitions to new working practices there may be some delays to the responses we receive from data owners and other colleagues across the organisation.

To avoid any of these delays we would urge you to check public data sources including the University website, HESA, UCAS and the Research Councils. Please also ensure that your request is clearly stated so that we can ensure we are directing requests to the most appropriate areas of the business.

The data you provide to allow us to process your request is collected so that you are able to exercise your lawful rights under the Freedom of Information Act. Your personal data will be held by the Information Governance Office and shared with relevant staff as necessary.

Once a request has been completed, the relevant data will be held by the Information Governance Office for three years in line with ICO guidance, this is to ensure the University has fully carried out its requirements under the legislation.

For further information on how we process your personal data, please see: http://www.exeter.ac.uk/dataprotection/

The University should respond to your FOI request as soon as possible and no later than twenty working days after the date of receipt of the request. Should The University be required to undertake a public interest test relating to the potential application of a qualified exemption we may extend the time frame by up to twenty additional days. Please be aware that our response time takes into account the workloads of the Information Governance Office and relevant data owners and will therefore not always correlate with the complexity of the request. Should The University seek clarification any resulting time spent awaiting communication will not be counted against that time limit.

Regards,

Information Governance Officer
