Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

Contractual Necessity

When you enrol a child in our programmes, we process personal data as necessary to perform our contract with you. This includes processing enrolment details, managing attendance, and delivering the educational services you have purchased.

Legitimate Interests

We may process data based on our legitimate business interests, such as improving our services, maintaining security, and communicating with you about related offerings. We always balance these interests against your rights and freedoms.

Consent

For certain processing activities, such as sending marketing communications or collecting optional information, we rely on your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Legal Obligation

We may process data to comply with legal requirements, including financial record-keeping, safeguarding obligations, and responding to lawful requests from authorities.

Your Rights Under GDPR

Right of Access (Article 15)

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond to such requests within one month.

Right to Rectification (Article 16)

If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected. Please contact us with updated information.

Right to Erasure (Article 17)

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. This right is not absolute and may be subject to legal retention requirements.

Right to Restrict Processing (Article 18)

You may request that we limit the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest its accuracy.

Right to Data Portability (Article 20)

Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.

Right to Object (Article 21)

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making (Article 22)

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you.

Data Protection for Children

Our services are designed for children, but we obtain all consent from parents or guardians. We do not process children's personal data without parental knowledge and consent. Special care is taken to ensure age-appropriate data protection measures.

International Transfers

We primarily store and process data within the United Kingdom. If any data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in compliance with UK GDPR requirements.

Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including:

Data Breach Procedures

We have procedures in place to detect, report, and investigate personal data breaches. Where a breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the Information Commissioner's Office as required by law.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. There is no fee for most requests, though we may charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
