Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond to your request within one month.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any personal data we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or significantly affects you.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. We will respond to your request within one month, although we may extend this period by up to two months for complex requests.

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of personal data where appropriate
  • Regular testing and evaluation of security measures
  • Staff training on data protection
  • Access controls limiting who can view personal data
  • Secure data storage and backup procedures

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.

International Data Transfers

We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the UK. If we do transfer data internationally, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Government.

Children's Data

As an organisation providing educational services to children, we take particular care when processing children's data. We collect information about children only from their parents or guardians and implement additional safeguards to protect this sensitive information.
