Your Rights Under GDPR

Right to Access

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

Right to Rectification

If you believe any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain situations.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller.

Right to Object

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

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not use automated decision-making in our services.

Children's Data

Given the nature of our services, we process data relating to children. We take particular care to ensure:

• Parental or guardian consent is obtained before collecting any child's personal data
• Data collection is limited to what is necessary for programme delivery
• Children's data is stored securely and accessed only by authorised personnel
• Parents and guardians can access, correct, or request deletion of their child's data at any time

Data Transfers

We primarily store and process data within the United Kingdom. If we need to transfer data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office.

Data Breach Procedures

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, we will:

• Notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours
• Inform affected individuals without undue delay if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms
• Document all breaches and remedial actions taken
