GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation Policy

Statement:

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, replacing the previous Data Protection, coming into effect on 25th May 2018 in order to comply with new EU regulations.

GDPR states that personal data should be ‘processed fairly and lawfully’ and collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes’ and that individual’s data is not processed without their knowledge and are only processed with their ‘explicit’ consent. GDPR covers personal data relating to individuals. iD-Company Ltd is committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals with respect to the processing of children’s, parents, visitors, examiners, teachers, volunteers and staff personal data.

The Data Protection Act gives individuals the right to know what information is held about them. It provides a framework to ensure that personal information is handled properly.

iD-Company Ltd is registered with the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) under registration reference: ZA393548

GDPR includes 7 rights for individuals:

1. The right to be informed

iD-Company Ltd only stores information that is absolutely necessary for us to perform our duties as a company. All information is held under strict confidential conditions protected by both password and high-end software and security. We need to know information regarding students’ name, date of birth, address, contact number, email address, medical history and allergies – if the student does not have a phone number or email address – we ask for a Parent/Guardian’s details on this. We also request for an emergency contact name and phone number. At times throughout the year, this information may be requested by performing council areas; this information is sent to the Local Authority via a secure electronic file transfer system.

We are required to collect certain details of visitors to our company. We need to know visitors’ names, telephone numbers, and where appropriate; company name. This is in respect of our Safeguarding Policy and the event of a fire or injury.

When employing staff, iD-Company Ltd is required to hold the following data; name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, National Insurance number, photographic ID, passport or driver’s license, bank details, an up to date Disclosure and Barring Service check (DBS – formally known as a CRB), a copy of teaching qualifications, public liability insurance and first aid training. DBS UTR numbers and date of issue are also held on a central staffing record.

2.The right of access

An individual is able to make a request relating to their personal information and data that iD-Company Ltd holds for a fee, that is considered reasonable by ICO regarding GDPR. iD-Company will then provide a response within 4 weeks. iD-Company can refuse a request, if we have a lawful obligation to retain the data but we will inform the individual of the reasons for the rejection.

3. The right to rectification

An individual can make a request relating to their data held by iD-Company at any time. iD-Company will follow all instructions to make sure all information held is accurate and check annually that the information is still correct. If an individual’s data, held by iD-Company is requested and the individual notices a discrepancy with their information, iD-Company will alter the data and re-send it back to the individual (within 1 week) to check thoroughly that all information is correct and accurate. We do request that any updated information that an individual has must be submitted to us as and when it happens.

4. The right to erasure

Individuals have the right to request your personal information and data being deleted where there is no compelling reason for its continued use, however in doing so, you may risk your membership/role in the company being cancelled. iD-Company Ltd has a legal duty to keep data records of our students, parents and guardians’ details for a reasonable time, accidental and injury records kept for 19 years (or until the student reaches 21 years), and 22 years (or until the student reaches 24 years) for Child Protection records. Staff records must be kept for 6 years after terminating their contract before they can be erased. This data is archived securely onsite and shredded after the legal retention period.

5. The right to restrict processing

Parents, visitors and staff can object to iD-Company Ltd processing their data. This means that records can be stored but must not be used in any way, for example for reports, communications or publicity/promotion etc.

6. The right to data portability

iD-Company Ltd may require for data to be transferred from one IT system to another; such as from iD-Company Ltd to the Local Authority, for performance licenses and dance associations for examinations. These recipients use secure file transfer systems and have their own policy procedures in place in relation to GDPR.

7. The right to object

Parents, visitors, volunteers and staff have the right to object to their data being used for certain activities like marketing or research.

8. The right not to be subject to automated decision-making including profiling
