The categories of students’ information that we process include:

 

• personal identifiers and contacts (such as name, contact details and address)

• characteristics (such as ethnicity, language)

• safeguarding information

• medical information (as provided by students and parents on health forms)

• attendance (courses attended)

• dietary requirements

Why we collect and use students’ information

 

We use child and young person’s data to:

1. enable us to carry out courses

3. assess performance and progress

 

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the legal basis we rely on for processing personal information of students for general purposes is Article 6, 1b: that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject (student) is party.

We do not import students’ data from other sources.

 

Students’ data is essential for CSYO’s operational use. In order to comply with the data protection legislation, we will inform you at the point of collection, whether you are required to provide certain personal information to us or if you have a choice in this.

 

Storing students’ data

 

We hold data securely for the duration of time the student is a member of the orchestra, or until the age of 21 if the student has indicated they may wish to rejoin the orchestra.

Data is stored in encrypted, password protected files and access to these files is restricted.

We do not share child and young person’s information routinely. In exceptional circumstances, we may share data with:

 

• NHS or other health care providers (for example, when abroad)
