GDPR Statement
As you may be aware data laws changed in May 2018. The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into effect on 25th May and replaced the Data Protection Act. The GDPR sets out guidelines for how personal data is processed. Kirkby Avenue Primary School takes your data seriously and we are committed to high standards of information security, privacy and transparency. We place a high priority on protecting and managing data and we are working hard to ensure compliance with GDPR. We will never share your data unless we have a legal obligation to do so, or unless it is necessary to carry out our public task. We will only process the personal data that we need to in order to maintain the high levels of education and safeguard our pupils.
Our school holds a lot of personal information – about pupils, parents, teachers etc, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the law that says how we can hold, use and store it. We’ve always been very careful with the personal data we hold and continue to have the highest standards under the GDPR laws.
We have a school wide Privacy Notice which tells you what personal information we collect and hold, what we do with it, who we share it with and how long we keep it for as well as other important information.
Please rest assured that our school knows how important your information, and your child’s information is, and takes all appropriate measures to make sure it is kept safe and secure, processed lawfully and fairly and only shared with people that the law allows us to.
What is a privacy notice?
A Privacy Notice is a statement issued by an organisation which explains how personal and confidential data about individuals is collected, used and shared.
Who is collecting and using your personal data?
Kirkby Avenue Primary School will act as a “Data Controller” for any personal data that you provide to us. We will ensure that the data given to us is processed in line with the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 18) and the EU General Data Protection Regulations. (GDPR).
What is personal data?
Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession.
