Data Protection Notices
What is a Data Protection Notice?
A Data Protection Notice is often referred to as a Privacy Notice or a Privacy Policy and it is simply a statement by which an organisation such as University College Cork describes how it intends to process personal data about individuals
When acquiring personal data, certain information must be provided by the individuals whose data is being collected in order to meet the GDPR Transparency Principle and the Right of Notification

Information for UCC Staff: Data Protection Notice Procedure & Template
If you need a Data Protection Notice for a different purpose than those listed above, read the following guidance and customise the generic Data Protection Notice template:
It is important to note that the template should only be used when data processing activities are not covered by one of the general notices above. Please check the general notices carefully before creating a separate notice
If the data processing activities are covered by the general notices, provide a link to them when communicating with individuals about how their data will be processed. If they are not covered, create a new Notice using the template provided. Your Notice should describe how personal data is used in your area and should be tailored to provide useful information to individuals in a clear and transparent manner.
