Scoil Chríost Rí is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our pupils, parents and guardians, staff, prospective families and visitors to our website.
This notice explains how personal information submitted through or generated by our website is handled. The school processes personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and other applicable legislation.
Information we may collect
When you use our website, we may receive personal information that you choose to provide, for example when you:
contact the school using an online form;
make an application for admission;
communicate with the school through details provided on the website; or
interact with other website features.
Depending on the purpose, this may include names, contact details, information relating to a child and other information necessary to respond to an enquiry or process an application.
We ask users not to provide sensitive or unnecessary personal information through general contact forms.
How we use your information
Personal information received through the website is used only for appropriate school purposes, including responding to enquiries, communicating with families, processing applications for admission and administering school services.
The lawful basis for processing will depend on the purpose for which the information is collected and may include compliance with a legal obligation, performance of a task carried out in the public interest or exercise of official authority, contractual necessity, legitimate interests where applicable, or consent where consent is the appropriate lawful basis.
Admissions
Information submitted as part of an application for admission is processed in accordance with the school's Admissions Policy, Annual Admission Notice and applicable education and data-protection legislation.
An application for admission does not in itself constitute an offer of a school place.
Where a child is subsequently enrolled, further information may be requested by the school as necessary for enrolment and the provision of education and support.
Sharing information
Personal data will only be shared where there is a legitimate and lawful reason to do so.
This may include relevant public bodies, education authorities, service providers acting on behalf of the school or other organisations where sharing is required or permitted by law.
Where the school uses third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf, appropriate data-protection arrangements are put in place.
Website hosting and third-party services
Our website is hosted using Squarespace. Like most websites, technical information may be processed in order to operate, secure and maintain the website.
Our website may also contain links to external services and websites, including social-media platforms. When you follow an external link, the privacy practices of that provider will apply.
Cookies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for the operation and security of the site. Other cookies or tracking technologies, including analytics where enabled, will be managed in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
Visitors can manage their cookie preferences through the cookie controls provided on the website, where applicable.
Photographs and school activities
The website may include photographs or information relating to school activities, events and achievements.
The school manages the publication of pupil photographs and other personal information in accordance with its policies, procedures and applicable consent arrangements.
How long we keep information
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and in accordance with the school's applicable retention arrangements and legal obligations.
Information is securely deleted or disposed of when it is no longer required.
Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, individuals have rights under data-protection law in relation to their personal data. These may include rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and, where applicable, data portability.
Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.
Requests relating to personal data held by the school should be made directly to the school.
