Privacy

One Cumbria Teaching School Hub (OC) is the Data Controller of the personal information you provide to us. This means OC determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data relating to delegates, enquirers, contractors, employees and OC partners.

In some cases, your data will be outsourced to a third party processor who provides a service to us. Where the OC outsources data to a third party processor, the same data protection standards that the OC upholds are imposed on the processor.

Kathryn Lee is the Data Protection Officer. Their role is to oversee and monitor OC’s data protection procedures, and to ensure they are compliant with the GDPR. The Data Protection Officer can be contacted at: dataprotection@changinglives.education

Our lawful basis for processing data

The lawful bases for processing are set out in Article 6 of the GDPR. At least one of these must apply whenever you process personal data:

(a) Consent: the individual has given clear consent for you to process their personal data for a specific purpose.

(b) Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract you have with the individual, or because they have asked you to take specific steps before entering into a contract.

(c) Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for you to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations).

(d) Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life.

(e) Public task: the processing is necessary for you to perform a task in the public interest or for your official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law.

(f) Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for your legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. (This cannot apply if you are a public authority processing data to perform your official tasks.)

We collect and use information under clause
a:
from registers, enquiries, OC partner school pupils
b: from delegates buying into courses and OC partners.
