Terms and consent

Thank you for providing your name, date of birth, email address, postcode, school and year group. Careerpilot will keep this information safely in the Reporting Zone.

Before completing your registration, please read the information on this page and confirm that you consent to your data being used as described here by ticking the box at the bottom of the page. If you do not consent to your data being used as described, you can terminate your registration by closing this page and your details will not be saved.

You can access and change your details at any time by logging in to your account.

You can close your account and have your record deleted at any time by contacting careerpilot@bath.ac.uk

When you have completed the registration process you can add your choices and quiz results to your Career Tools. These will be saved for you and you can change and amend your choices at any time. The Career Tools are to help you explore and choose your future career choices. You can view or download your Career Tools report.

To see your information in the Reporting Zone your school/college will have to complete a Data Sharing Agreement confirming how they will look after your information and use it properly (schools and colleges are used to doing this).

If your school/college has completed a Data Sharing Agreement with Careerpilot they can see the information you have added to your Career Tools in the Careerpilot Reporting Zone, so they can help you with your plans. A ‘Careerpilot Password Keeper’ in your school/college will decide which staff can see your Career Tools e.g. perhaps your tutor. Staff with access to your Career Tools can also write ‘Adviser Comments’, usually when they are talking to you. You can see any Adviser Comments in your Career Tools.

If you move school or from a school to a college or sixth form, you can change your email or your provider in your account (by signing in using the login details you used to register). If a college or a sixth form has a signed Data Sharing Agreement with the Careerpilot Central Team they can request we change your provider and email address (if you are enrolled with them and if you have used a school address that has been deleted), so that you can access your Careerpilot account from your new provider. If we make this change your teacher should tell you. A staff member who knows that you have moved to another Careerpilot school or college can transfer your account to that provider. You can do this too through your ‘account’.

School and college staff with access to your record can look at the Reporting Zone to see your Career Tools information and the choices you are making, e.g. about jobs, qualifications, etc. and also any saved quiz results e.g. from the Skills Map, Next Steps Quiz, Pathway Planner (only some schools/colleges use this) so they can support you in getting the jobs and careers you want.

The Reporting Zone can also be seen by the Central Careerpilot Team who need to see your information so they can transfer your record if you move to another school or college or to help with access issues.

The Central Careerpilot Team will also sometimes produce reports across a group of schools or students but they will do that without your name showing – so the reports will be anonymous. An example of this sort of report would be one showing what job sectors lots of students are interested in, so we can see trends.

There might be an external organisation, a Careerpilot funding partner, that might look at anonymised reports on Careerpilot e.g a university/Uni Connect/Careers Hub. They are funded by the government to help young people find out more about higher education and/or so they can get support with their career decisions. These organisations will never see your personal details, they will only access anonymised reports.

If you are Year 9 and above, some data may be shared with the Higher Education Access Tracker (HEAT), or similar or replacement bodies, this is a collaboration of universities and other educational organisations which enables them to see whether or not young people who they have supported apply for and move into HE in the future (funding support for Careerpilot is through Universities, Uni Connects and some Careers Hubs). We will not share your data with any non-educational organisations (except as required by law).

If you are a teacher/adviser and would like to try the site as a student, contact careerpilot@bath.ac.uk and we will send you a test login.
