THE PRIORY
LEARNING TRUST
Privacy
Notice - General
Under data protection law,
individuals have a right to be informed about how the Trust uses any personal
data that we hold about them. We comply
with this right by providing ‘privacy notices’ (sometimes called ‘fair
processing notices’) to individuals where we are processing their personal
data.
The Trust also has a number of
Privacy Notices aimed at specific groups of people on whom we hold personal
data, including students, parents, staff and members of the PRC. Please refer to these if appropriate.
The Priory Learning Trust is the
‘data controller’ for the purposes of data protection lay.
Our data protection officer is
i-West (see ‘Contact us’ below)
We use the personal data:
• to
support student learning
• to
monitor and report on student progress
• to
provide appropriate pastoral care
• to
assess the quality of our services
• to
comply with the law regarding data sharing
• to
safeguard students
We only collect and use personal
data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we process it where:
• We
need to comply with a legal obligation
• We
need it to perform an official task in the public interest
Less commonly, we may also
process personal data in situations where:
• We
have obtained consent to use it in a certain way
• We
need to protect the individual’s vital interests (or someone else’s interests)
Where we have obtained consent to
use personal data, this consent can be withdrawn at any time. We will make this
clear when we ask for consent, and explain how consent can be withdrawn.
Some of the reasons listed above
for collecting and using personal data overlap, and there may be several
grounds which justify our use of this data.

Where we transfer personal data

accordance with data protection law.
