General Data Protection Policy.
- What Personal Data We Collect:
1.1 When you register with us as a student, you will be required to provide your name, address, phone number and email address.
1.2 Your attendance/non-attendance at class is recorded in every class by the tutor.
1.3 Students paying over the phone using debit/credit cards will be asked to supply their credit/debit card number, expiry date, name on card and CVV number and these will be uploaded to a third-party website dealing with online payments.
1.4 CCTV is in operation on the school premises and in the school buildings so recordings of your entrance/exit of the school buildings and premises are recorded.
- Why we collect your data:
2.1 Registration & Attendance:
The information listed above is collected at registration in order to supply a class list to the tutor for the purposes of recording attendance. Addresses are collected in order to be able to post you out any relevant information/certification concerning the course you are signed up for. We use your mobile phone number to inform you of any cancellation/change to classes which may occur during the school term. If the tutor decides to put on an extra few classes, you may also be texted to inform you of this. Email addresses are used to send you out an automated receipt of payment and registration for any course you have signed up for and paid. Emails may also be used to send you out any supplementary information regarding your course such as a list of course materials, booklists etc.
- How we collect your data:
3.1 Registration: Most personal data is provided by students on their application forms when registering in the office or through the online registration system.
3.2 CCTV: Your image may be recorded via closed circuit television (CCTV), which has been installed on the school premises and inside the school building. The system comprises of a number of cameras installed at reception and at each entrance and exit, and some corridors recording video images without sound. Our basis for collecting personal data in this way is our legitimate interest (Article 6.1(f) of GDPR) in the security of our people and premises; to provide evidential material for criminal court proceedings. There is signage in place to inform people that CCTV is in operation.
3.3 Telephone: We have a telephone voice messaging system in the office to record any messages from people who ring when the office is unattended. You may or may not wish to leave a message. Messages are deleted once a member of the Adult Education Department has listened to it and followed up on any information left on the system.
