3. Use of Special Categories of Personal Data and Criminal Conduct Data

As a general rule, we do not process Special Categories of Personal Data or Criminal Convictions Data of Students, Parents or Guardians. However, in order to provide our education and schooling services (including extra-curricular activities) effectively to you and any Student you are responsible for, we are, in certain very limited circumstances, required to collect, process and disclose Special Categories of Personal Data of Students, including but not limited to:

(a) Health/medical information (e.g. allergies, disabilities, dietary requirements, records of accidents and illnesses) so that we can maintain a safe environment for all Students;
(b) Political opinions, religious beliefs, ethnicity and race, so that Students can observe religious/cultural celebrations;

(d) Details of criminal offences, so that we can deal with serious behavioural issues and authorities appropriately; and
(e) Photographs and video footage of Students, (eg. for identification or security purposes)

In addition to the usual appropriate technical and organisational measures we implement to ensure the security and integrity of the personal data processed by us, we may implement additional measures in relation to Special Categories of Personal Data, as appropriate. These may include segregation, pseudonymisation or restriction of access to the data.

Where we must process Special Categories of Personal Data and Criminal Convictions Data, we will generally do so on the basis that we are protecting the vital interests of a Student or that it is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest.

Where we cannot rely on an alternative legal basis to justify necessary processing of the data listed above we will either:

(a) Rely on your explicit consent for the collection, processing and disclosure of the above Special Categories of Personal Data on behalf of each Student you are responsible for; or

(b) Where a Student you are responsible for is capable of providing consent with respect to the processing of his/her personal data, rely on his or her explicit consent to our collection, processing and disclosure of the above Special Categories of Personal Data.

Where a Student you are responsible for is capable of providing consent with respect to the processing of his/her personal data, you agree that you have procured his or her consent to our collection, processing and disclosure of the above Special Categories of Personal Data. Once a Student is competent to provide this consent, we will reaffirm with them any consent previously provided by you on their behalf.

In any instance where a Student who was deemed to be capable of providing consent acts against his/her own best interests, we will revert to you to obtain your consent on his/her behalf.

You (or the Student you are responsible for, as applicable) are free to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. However, where you do so we may not be able to provide a service that requires the use of such data.
