Your rights
Pupil data
The rights under Data Protection Law belong to the individual to whom the data relates. For the purposes of delivering our obligations under the School contract we will usually liaise with the parent and share pupil data with them relating to their child’s progress and behaviour, school activities and the general wellbeing of their child.
Where a pupil seeks to raise concerns confidentially with a member of staff and expressly withholds their agreement to their personal data being disclosed to their parents, we may be under an obligation to maintain confidentiality unless, in our opinion, there is a good reason to do otherwise; for example, where the school believes disclosure will be in the best interests of any pupil or is required by law.
How to find out if we are processing your data and request a copy of your information
You have the right to ask if your data is being processed by us and the right to ask for a copy of the data related to you that we are processing. A person with parental responsibility will generally be entitled to make a subject access request on behalf a pupil, but the information in question is always considered to belong to the individual to whom the data relates. In Scotland, the law presumes that a child of 12 years or more has the capacity to exercise their rights under the Data Protection Law. A pupil of any age may ask a parent or other representative to make a subject access request on their behalf. Moreover (if of sufficient maturity) their consent or authority may need to be sought by the parent making such a request. Requests for data that are excessive or repetitive will be subject to a fee.
How to have your data amended or deleted
You have the right to have inaccurate data rectified or completed (if it is incomplete), or have your data erased. Some exceptions may apply where we have another lawful reason to continue to process your data.
How to stop us using your data for certain purposes
You have the right to object to certain processes, such as fundraising activities, as long as it does not interfere with contractual or lawful obligations that we still may need to fulfil.
How to transfer data
You have the right to request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
To act upon any of your rights outlined above please contact us using the details previously given. Requests may be made verbally or in writing. We will aim to respond to any such requests within one month of receipt. We may need to take steps to confirm the identity of the requestor depending on the method in which the request was made. Some requests (or part thereof) may be refused and in such cases, we will respond outlining the reason for refusal.
