privacy policy

Overview

In line with the GDPR changes we are updating our Privacy Notice so you can better understand why and how we collect, process and destroy your data. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy sets out the legal basis on which any Personal Data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your Personal Data and how we will treat it.

What types of Personal Data do we collect?

The categories of Personal Data that La Marelle collects include:

Personal information e.g. names, date of birth and contact details
Characteristics e.g. language and nationality
Relevant medical information
Consent for taking photographs and using them
Attendance information e.g. sessions attended, number of absences and absence reasons
Assessment information

Whilst the majority of the Personal Data you provide to La Marelle is mandatory, some of it may be provided on a voluntary basis. When collecting data, the school will inform you whether you are required to provide this data or if your consent is needed. Where consent is required the school will provide you with specific and explicit information with regards to the reasons the data is being collected and how the data will be used.

Lawful basis for Processing

La Marelle is the Data Controller of the personal information you provide to us. This means the school determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any Personal Data is to be processed. We rely on the following legal basis for Processing your Personal Data:

consent- if you are a recipient of our communications;
legitimate interests- if you are our member or prospective member, or our website or Facebook page
visitor;
performance of contract- if you are our supplier;
legal obligation- if we process Personal Data according to requirements of domestic legislation.

Data protection officer

La Marelle has no regulatory obligations under the GDPR to appoint a DPO; La Marelle has no data protection officer (DPO) currently appointed. The GDPR sets out guidelines on when the appointment of a DPO shall be required as follows:

where the scope or purpose of collecting data requires a regular systematic monitoring of the Data
Subjects;
where special categories of data are processed on a large scale;
where Processing is carried out by a public authority.

La Marelle has instead agreed to name a responsible officer (the “Responsible Officer”) who may be reached on gdpr@lamarelle.org.uk
