What personal data we collect and why we collect it
This website does not allow comments or posts by members of the public therefore no data should be collected in this way. However we do have two contact forms – one for signing up to our mailing list and one for enquiring about studying at SBC.
Contact forms

In order to register you as a student we are required to share some of this information with our validating body – The University of the West of Scotland.
