The ESFA has issued this privacy notice, on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Department of Education (DfE).
It is to inform learners how their personal information will be used by the DfE, the ESFA (an executive agency of the DfE) and any successor bodies to these organisations. For the purposes of relevant data protection legislation, the DfE is the data controller for personal data processed by the ESFA.
