Data Protection Regulation

At The Bishop of Winchester Academy, we take data protection and privacy very seriously. We are committed to ensuring compliance with UK data protection legislation and safeguarding the personal information we hold.

We have appointed Global Policing to act as our independent Data Protection Officer (DPO).

Under current data protection legislation, parents, students, employees and other individuals whose personal data we hold have a number of rights, including the right to:

• Access personal data held about them
• Request that inaccurate or incomplete information is corrected
• Request the deletion of personal data where the right to erasure applies

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or if you have any questions or concerns regarding data protection, please contact our Data Protection Officer directly using the details below:

The Academy will ensure that personal data is collected, stored, used, shared and disposed of in accordance with data protection legislation.

Personal data will be:

• Processed lawfully, fairly and transparently
• Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes
• Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary
• Accurate and kept up to date
• Retained only for as long as necessary
• Kept secure through appropriate technical and organisational measures

This approach ensures that the rights and freedoms of individuals are protected at all times.
