We may also use CCTV footage to ensure the school is safe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about this privacy notice then please speak to your teacher who will make sure that your question or query is handled by the right person.<\/p>\n<p>The school has a Data Protection Co-ordinator who can explain in more detail how your information is handled and looked after by the school. The school\u2019s Data Protection Co-ordinator is LUIS CARLOS JIM\u00c9NEZ G\u00c1MEZ.<\/p>\n<p>We have a Data Protection Officer whose contact details are as follows: Group Legal Director (<a href=\"mailto:DPO@cognita.com\">DPO@cognita.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW THE SCHOOL USES YOUR INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The school is interested in doing the following things with your information (these are called \u201c<strong>legitimate interests<\/strong>\u201d):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>promoting the objects and interests of our school, ensuring the most efficient management of our school; and<\/li>\n<li>using your photograph as part of a manual ID system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We will also use the information your parents give us as is necessary to carry out our obligations arising from the contract between the school and your parents and to provide you and them with the information and services that your parents request from us (to manage any queries or disputes you may have with us or that we have with you, look after you, teach you).<\/p>\n<p>Also, we are required by law to take a register, keep a personal file about you, keep a record of your behaviour and provide a written report on your progress.<\/p>\n<p>In order to pursue the legitimate interests above and to fulfil its contractual and legal obligations, the school will rely on software applications and other technology to handle your information. These include virtual learning environments (including the setting of tasks and homework), revision tools, parents evening booking systems, text and email messaging communications, assessments of your progress and co-ordination of school trips. The companies we use to deliver these applications are carefully chosen and vetted by us to ensure that, among other things, your information is kept secure. Some of our key systems include Capita (SIMS), Evolve, NetSuite, Salesforce, Confirmit and Lightspeed. For further information on the kind of technology we use, please speak to your teacher who will liaise with the school\u2019s Data Protection Co-ordinator.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When we hold details about your medical condition or health, your race, ethnicity or religion, this type of information is called \u201csensitive personal data\u201d which means the school must adopt higher standards of care to make sure this kind of data is safe and doesn\u2019t fall into the wrong hands. It also means that we need to ask for yours and your parent\u2019s consent to collect and process that data when we ask for it. We will need to hold sensitive personal data about you (a) for carrying out our obligations in the field of social security or social protection law, (b) for medical diagnosis or provision of health care, (c) to protect your vital interests or (d) for identification purposes. In order to achieve this, the school may also use software applications and other technology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>INFORMATION WE GIVE TO OTHER PEOPLE OR COMPANIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will share information with your parents or guardians to carry out our obligations arising from the contract between the school and your parents.<\/p>\n<p>In order to pursue one of the legitimate interests set out above, we may share your personal information with: Cognita Regional Office (School Community Partners) in Spain, a member of the Cognita group of companies (your school belongs to the Cognita group), local authorities, education authorities (for example, the Independent Schools Inspectorate), the Department for Education, SEN co-ordinators, social services or the police where we have reason to believe there are concerns with your safety.<\/p>\n<p>We may also share your personal information with exam boards in order to successfully administer exams.<\/p>\n<p>If you are British, or national of any other country out of the Schengen area, we may have to provide information about you to the Spanish Immigration authorities.<\/p>\n<p>We may also need to share your information with our head office in Spain and in the UK, professional advisors and suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHERE WE NEED YOUR CONSENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will seek yours or your parent\u2019s permission if we decide to post any photographs of you on any of our marketing materials (including our prospectus or website). If you are under the age of 14, we need your parent\u2019s permission. If you are over the age of 14, then we need your permission (and not your parent\u2019s permission). Where you or your parent have given permission, you can withdraw this permission at any time.<\/p>\n<p>You or your parent or guardian do not have to give us details about your race, religion or ethnicity if you do not want to. If you do provide us with this information, we only intend to use these details to assist us with the day-to-day running of the school (for example, if your religion means that you have particular dietary requirements then we will of course be much better informed if we have this information to cater to your needs) and equal opportunities monitoring purposes. Where you have given this information to the school, you can ask us to withdraw this information at any time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRANSMISION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes your information will need to be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA.

This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Request erasure <\/strong> of your personal information.

It also means that we need to ask for your consent to collect and process that data when we ask for it. We will need to hold sensitive personal data about you or your child (a) for carrying out our obligations in the field of social security or social protection law, (b) for medical diagnosis or provision of health care or (c) to protect your or your child\u2019s vital interests (d) for equal opportunities monitoring (e) for dietary requirements (f) for facilitating religious customs and practices e.g. prayer, dress and holidays \/ festivals or (g) for identification purposes. Every time we collect sensitive data from you about you or your child, we will inform you and collect your consent to the processing of that data. In order to achieve this, the school may also use software applications and other technology.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>6 TRANSMISSION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EEA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span class=\"privacy-indent-1\">6.1 The data that we process about you and your child may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (\u201c<strong>EEA<\/strong>\u201d).

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your and your child\u2019s data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy notice and that the appropriate legal safeguards are in place prior to the transfer, for example ensuring that any contracts between us and the recipient of the information have EU-approved standard data protection clauses, or the country we are transferring the data to is deemed by the EU Commission a country with adequate protection.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>7 YOUR RIGHTS <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span class=\"privacy-indent-1\">7.1 Under the GDPR, you and your child have the following rights:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\"><span class=\"privacy-indent-2\">7.1.1 <strong>Right to correction<\/strong>.
