How the University Library uses your personal information in its management system

We use your personal information to keep membership records to provide you with access to the library and its services, and to contact you with information about your library use and the services which the library offers.

We use your personal information in order to deliver our contractual obligations to you as a user of our service. Our standard terms of service are available from our website. The University Library and its affiliated libraries use a shared user management system and database, and as a result your personal information is available to all authorised libraries in the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge Theological Federation, and participating College Libraries.

We also use your personal information to create a user account for you. This enables secure access and provides user functionality through the University Library's Discovery Service, iDiscover.

For more information about how the libraries of the University handle your personal information, and your rights under data protection legislation, please see the general data policy.
