Please see the Padlet Privacy Statement on the Padlet website. Please be aware that content within the University of Leeds Padlet domain is not shared by Padlet or the University of Leeds; the content can only be shared by the creator or a contributor.

University of Leeds staff and students who sign up for a Padlet account via universityofleeds.padlet.org are allowing Padlet to access the following personal data:

  1. First name and surname
  2. username@leeds.ac.uk

Users may edit their Padlet profile to include a photograph and biography. When the creator of a Padlet shares it, those viewing (that Padlet) can also view the profile of the creator. Any user who has the URL for another user’s Padlet account can also view that person’s basic profile (name and username). Each Padlet within a creators account has a unique URL, this includes the creator’s username and a unique combination of letters and numbers.  Theoretically another UoL domain user could “guess” the URL of a Padlet and view its content.

A users contributions to a Padlet (posts) could be shared by the creator beyond the University of Leeds Padlet domain, e.g. on a blog or social media.

It is not advisable to share personal data on a Padlet, beyond which is required to set up an account.

The universityofleeds.padlet.org administrator can view all profiles and all Padlets.
