GDPR email + blog post

​You’ll know from all the emails you’ve received over the last month or so that something’s going down in the world of data protection. Not to mention the annoying data popup that blocks the screen every time you try to login and stalk people on Instagram.
 
In a nutshell, the data protection laws in the UK are changing in a pretty big way to pay more attention to how virtual data is kept and used – and this is what’s going on:

By May 25th, everyone and their dog has to comply to new data protection laws. In relation to your bromance with Push, these changes pretty much boil down to:
 

• The right to know what’s going on with your info and how we use it
• The right to have access to any info we hold on you
• The right to update info we hold on you, like email addresses and subscription preferences
• The right to have any info held on you removed from our databases

 
We’re on the ball with this, and outline all of our data protection information here if you want to read more about the information we collect and how we look after it.
 
Overall, we think we’re pretty great. We hope you think so too. If you’re happy with the way things are, then there’s no need to do anything – carry on enjoying the sweet, sweet sunshine, and you’ll receive your next Push Post newsletter shortly. As usual, we’ll be sending out useful blogs on study tips, mental health, options and careers.
 
The fun doesn’t stop there – have you left school? The Push team is still here to help! Tune in for info on student life including great apps, deals and tips for surviving higher education, news on the latest in the world of apprenticeships and everything you could want to know about jobs. We’ll also share links to our latest videos, full of useful tips and life hacks right from the horse’s (or Push presenter’s) mouth.
 
If however you don’t think our newsletters are relevant to you anymore, you can unsubscribe now, or at any time in the future.
