Special category personal information

Where we collect special category personal information, we do this on the basis of consent. Special categories of personal data are personal data that reveal a person’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religions or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data (i.e. information about their inherited or acquired genetic characteristics, information about their physical, physiological or behavioural characteristics (such as facial images and fingerprints), physical or mental health, sexual life or sexual orientation and criminal records).

Sharing information with others

For the purposes referred to in this privacy notice and relying on the bases for processing as set out above, we may share personal data with certain third parties. We do not share personal information with anyone unless the law and our policies in accordance with the GDPR allow us to do so, or if we have specifically obtained consent. Otherwise, there will always be an agreement or contract in place to ensure that your data is handled in accordance with the College’s Data Protection Policy by the third party. We may disclose limited personal data to a variety of recipients including:

• Our employees;
• Agents and contractors where there is a legitimate reason for their receiving the information, including:;
  • internal and external auditors.
• Those with a legitimate or legal interest in tracking your child’s progress and attendance, including:
  • The school your child will transition to after nursery.
• Government departments and funding bodies where we have a statutory obligation to provide information (e.g. Hampshire County Council);
• Crime prevention or detection agencies, including the police and the Department for Work and Pensions and Trading Standards;

You are given the opportunity to opt out of some of these data sharing arrangements, for example when you register with us, but you should carefully consider the possible impact of doing this.

International data transfers

Some of the personal data we process about you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), for example where it is processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers, or where personal data is processed by one of our suppliers who is based outside the EEA or who uses storage facilities outside the EEA. There will always be an agreement or contract in place to ensure that your data is handled in accordance with the College’s Data Protection Policy.

In these circumstances, your personal data will only be transferred on one of the following bases:

• Where the transfer is subject to one or more of the “appropriate safeguards” for international transfers prescribed by applicable law (e.g. standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission);
• A European Commission decision provides that the country or territory to which the transfer is made ensures an adequate level of protection; or
• There exists another situation where the transfer is permitted under applicable law (e.g. where we have your explicit consent)
