What we do with your personal data and our legal basis for using it.

We process personal data only for the purposes for which they are collected. These purposes include; the necessary data to sustain the relationship between Border Counties School of Dance, pupils and their parents or guardians, as well as to support pupil learning.

We collect and use pupil information for general purposes under the lawful basis of Consent, as outlined under Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from 25 May 2018. Pupils under the age of thirteen cannot provide consent and therefore those classed with legal parental responsibility will be the ‘individual’ to provide data.

By asking for consent;

• We have checked that consent is the most appropriate lawful basis for processing.

• We have made the request for consent prominent and separate from our terms and conditions.

• We ask people to positively opt in.

• We don’t use pre-ticked boxes or any other type of default consent.

• We use clear, plain language that is easy to understand.

• We specify why we want the data and what we’re going to do with it.

• We give individual (‘granular’) options to consent separately to different purposes and types of processing.

• We name our organisation and any third party controllers who will be relying on the consent.

• We tell individuals they can withdraw their consent.

• We ensure that individuals can refuse to consent without detriment.

Recording consent

• We keep a record of when and how we got consent from the individual.

• We keep a record of exactly what they were told at the time.

Managing Consent

• We regularly review consents to check that the relationship, the processing and the purposes have not changed.

• We have processes in place to refresh consent at appropriate intervals, including any parental consents.

• We make it easy for individuals to withdraw their consent at any time.

• We act on withdrawals of consent as soon as we can.

• We don’t penalise individuals who wish to withdraw consent.

How can you access your personal data?

If you make a subject access request, and if we do hold information about you or your child, we will:

• Give you a description of it

• Tell you why we are holding and processing it, and how long we will keep it for

• Explain where we got it from, if not from you or your child

• Tell you who it has been, or will be, shared with

• Let you know whether any automated decision-making is being applied to the data, and any consequences of this
