Our Legal Bases for Processing
Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal data because:
- processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation;
- processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, where applicable;
- processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms;
- processing is necessary in connection with a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract; or
- you have provided your consent.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.
The DPC requires organisations to explain the purposes and legal bases for processing, recipients, retention periods and individuals' rights in their privacy information.
Sharing Your Personal Data
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share personal data where necessary with trusted third parties that provide services to the School, such as website hosting, IT support, website maintenance or other service providers.
We may also disclose information where required by law, where required by a competent authority, or where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the School, its students, staff or others.
Where third-party service providers process personal data on our behalf, we take appropriate steps to ensure that the information is handled securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to external websites or may incorporate content or services provided by third parties.
Once you follow a link to another website, that website's own privacy and cookie policies will apply. Presentation Secondary School is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and in accordance with applicable legal, regulatory and School record-retention requirements.
Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type of information and the reason for which it is processed.
Security
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
