GDPR Privacy Policy
Information about how we look after personal information about yourself and your child or children.
On 25th May 2018 a new law came into place. It is known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is about how personal information is collected about you and your child or children’s study with us and how we use and look after it. This Privacy Policy has been written to give you information about how we obtain and process personal data in connection with the services we provide to you.
Our commitment is to:-
– keep personal information about you and your child or children safe and private
– not use personal information for any purpose other than in connection with your children’s lessons and keeping you informed of information about Tuition School.
– make it easy for you to approach us if you have any concerns or questions relating to the holding of personal information
– not provide personal information to others except in cases where we are legally required to do so.
Tuition School is a private tuition centre that delivers tailored tuition to students of all abilities.
To be able to operate effectively we do require personal information concerning parents and legal guardians (parents) and the students. We have set out in this document what personal information is collected and how it is used.
Tuition School acts as a “Data Controller”. The term Data Controller is applied to a business which determines how personal information about you and your child or children is used.
Information regarding parents and students will be collected by Tuition School tutors. This might be achieved by providing information verbally, whether face to face or by telephone, completion of paper documents or by electronic means such as through email or interaction with our websites. It is important that all personal information is accurate when provided to avoid any future problems.
If any of the personal information provided changes, please notify Tuition School as soon as possible in order that the personal information can be updated.
We may require some or all of the following information about the student:-
– Name;
– Address;
– Contact details (phone; email;
– Date of birth;
– School related information;
– Gender;
– Medical and health related information to provide a safe environment;
– As the student’s studies progress information in relation to the student’s work and progression.
Information which may be required from parents/legal guardians:-
– Name;
– Address;
– Contact details (phone; email;
– Details of others who are authorised points of contact if a primary contact is not available;
– Any other information which may be provided and which is relevant to the education of your child or children.
Tuition School may also ask for or receive contextual information about students and/or their parents. This might, for example, relate to the student’s lifestyle, interests and skills, be about the student’s family including the structure of it and the occupation of the parent(s), any background issues that may be impacting upon the student’s study and whether the student is a native English speaker.
Tuition School will not seek any further personal information in relation to parents or students without gaining specific authority. Tuition School will not take or publish photographs of students or publish students’ names without your consent as the parent/legal guardian.
Tuition School will only provide the personal information referred to above to your child’s/children’s tutor.
Tuition School will not provide personal information for use by anyone else without your specific consent or unless this is necessary for health and safety reasons, to comply with child protection policies and procedures, otherwise in relation to child welfare and child protection, for example in cooperating with local and public authorities to comply with legal requirements, or unless it is otherwise provided for in this Privacy Notice.
It is possible that Tuition School will pass personal information to other organisations to assist in the education of a student. This is not for other organisations to use on their behalf but rather to process information on Tuition School’s behalf. This will be for the efficient and effective administration and running of the business and provision of the tuition programme. An example would be providing a name, date of birth and school year for use of computer based learning software. This data would also be protected under the third party’s GDPR policy.
