Who National Schools Partnership is for

National Schools Partnership websites and account services are intended solely for teachers, home educators and parents aged 18 years or over. Children and young people must not create an account with National Schools Partnership or provide personal information directly to us through our websites. Educational resources available through National Schools Partnership may be used by teachers, parents and home educators with children and young people in supervised educational settings.

Some educational programmes may include separate digital resources or experiences intended for use by children and young people. Where these resources involve the processing of children's personal information or are likely to be accessed by children, we ensure they are designed and operated in accordance with applicable data protection laws and relevant guidance, including the ICO’s Age Appropriate Design Code.

Where specific education programmes, competitions or events involve the collection of information relating to children or young people, we will provide additional privacy information appropriate to that programme and, where required by law, seek consent from a parent or legal guardian and, where appropriate, work with schools to ensure children and parents are provided with suitable privacy information.

How we share your data

We do not sell your personal data. This means that we do not transfer your personal data to third parties in exchange for payment or permit third parties to use your personal data for their own independent marketing or commercial purposes.

Sharing with sponsoring organisations and programme partners

We work with sponsoring organisations and programme partners to deliver specific educational initiatives, competitions, prize draws or events.

Where it is necessary to do so, we may share limited personal information with these organisations solely for the purpose of administering the initiative or fulfilling a prize or educational resource. In these circumstances:

the sharing will be explained to you at the point of collection and in any additional privacy notice;
we will identify any sponsoring organisation or programme partner involved;
we will only share the minimum personal information necessary for the relevant purpose; and
where required by law, we will obtain your consent before sharing personal data.

Where sponsoring organisations or programme partners process personal data solely on our behalf and under our instructions, they act as our Data Processors and are contractually prohibited from using your personal data for their own marketing or other independent purposes.

The appearance or branding of a programme website does not mean that sponsoring organisations receive your personal information. We only share personal information with sponsoring organisations where this is necessary for the programme and where this has been explained to you.

Sharing with our Data Processors

We use carefully selected third parties to process personal data on our behalf. Under data protection legislation, these organisations are known as Data Processors.

We only share personal data with our Data Processors for specific, limited purposes and under a written contract that requires them to:

process personal data only on our documented instructions;
keep personal data secure and confidential;
implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures;
only use personal data for the services they provide to us; and
delete or return personal data when it is no longer required.

Our Data Processors commonly include website hosting providers, cloud service providers, analytics providers, marketing service providers, fulfilment providers and other suppliers that help us operate our websites, educational programmes and business services.

Sharing with other organisations acting as independent Data Controllers

In certain circumstances, we may share personal data with organisations that process personal data for their own purposes as independent Data Controllers. These may include:

professional advisers, insurers and auditors;
regulators, law enforcement agencies and courts;
local authorities, schools and safeguarding agencies where necessary to protect the safety, wellbeing or vital interests of children or vulnerable individuals, or where we are required to do so by law; and
prospective purchasers of our business or assets.

We may also share personal data with other organisations acting as independent Data Controllers where this has been explained to you in an additional privacy notice and, where required by law, you have provided your consent.

International transfers

We keep your personal data within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area wherever possible.

Where personal data is processed outside of the United Kingdom, we will ensure that an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism is in place, such as an International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or another transfer mechanism recognised under UK data protection law.

Where we use third parties to process personal data outside of the United Kingdom, we require them to process personal data only on our instructions, to keep it secure and confidential, and to implement appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data.

If you access this website from outside the United Kingdom, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in the United Kingdom and other countries where our service providers operate.

Safeguarding and protection of children and vulnerable individuals

We may share personal information where this is necessary to protect the safety, wellbeing or vital interests of a child, young person or vulnerable individual, or where required by law or safeguarding guidance. Obligations of confidentiality and data protection law do not prevent the lawful sharing of information where this is necessary to safeguard children or vulnerable individuals. We will only share information that is necessary, proportionate and appropriate in the circumstances.

How long we keep your data for

We only keep data for as long as is necessary for the purposes, and to ensure that we have appropriate auditable records of our business activities, or as and where required by law. Retention periods may be extended where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or where we are required by law to retain information.

How we keep your data secure

Your data is collected and stored using secure network connections and servers. We take all reasonable measures to keep your data secure using appropriate physical, electronic and organisational controls and procedures. Our staff are trained and have limited access to your data. However, the transmission of any information via the internet is never completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site. You are responsible for keeping your username and password secure to ensure the data remains confidential.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have rights in relation to the personal information that we hold about you. Depending on the circumstances and our reason for processing your information, these rights may include:

The right of access – to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you and information about how we use it.
The right to rectification – to ask us to correct personal information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
The right to erasure – to ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances.
The right to restrict processing – to ask us to limit the way we use your personal information in certain circumstances.
The right to object – to object to our processing of your personal information where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis, including the right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
The right to data portability – to receive certain personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to request that we transfer it to another organisation where this is technically feasible.
Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling – to request human intervention or challenge a decision made solely by automated means where such rights apply.

If we rely on your consent to process your personal information, you also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.

Some of these rights are subject to conditions and exemptions under data protection law, and there may be circumstances where we are unable to comply fully with your request. If this applies, we will explain the reasons to you.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with how we have used your personal information.

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the details set out in the Making Contact section of this privacy notice.
