4.  MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS 

Our lawful ground of processing your personal data to send you marketing communications is either your consent or our legitimate interests (namely to achieve our charitable aims). 

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we may send you marketing communications if (i) you made a purchase or asked for information from us about our products or services or (ii) you agreed to receive marketing communications and in each case you have not opted out of receiving such communications since.   

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing communications at any time. You can also withdraw any consent you have given us at any time. You can do either of these things by: 

• following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you 

• contacting us at any time 

If you opt out of receiving marketing communications this opt-out does not apply to personal data provided as a result of other transactions, such as managing your Teach2030 account. 

We will never share your personal details with any third party for their own marketing purposes. 

5.  DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA 

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below: 

• Service providers who provide IT and system administration services and marketing services. 

• Professional advisers including accountants, auditors and insurers. 

• Government bodies that require us to report processing activities. 

We require all third parties to whom we transfer your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.  We only allow such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. 

6.  INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS 

We are subject to the provisions of the UK General Data Protection Regulations that protect your personal data.  Your personal data will normally remain inside the UK but where we transfer your data to third parties outside of the UK, we will ensure that certain safeguards are in place to ensure a similar degree of security for your personal data.  As such:  

• We may transfer your personal data to countries that the UK regulatory authorities have approved as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data;  or  

• If we use US-based providers that are part of the UK-US Data Bridge (the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework), we may transfer data to them, as they have equivalent safeguards in place;  or  

• Where we use certain service providers who are established outside of the UK, we may use specific contracts approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses), or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the UK government, which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK. 

If none of the safeguards are available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer.  You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. 

7.  DATA SECURITY 

We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorisation.  We also allow access to your personal data only to those employees and contractors who have an operational need to know such data.  They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they must keep it confidential.   

We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are required to do so. 

8.  DATA RETENTION 

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. 

When deciding what the correct time is to keep the data for we look at its amount, nature and sensitivity, potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the processing purposes, if these can be achieved by other means and legal requirements. 

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. 

9.  YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS 

Under data protection laws you have rights in relation to your personal data that include the right to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, transfer, to object to processing, to portability of data and (where the lawful ground of processing is consent) to withdraw consent. 

You can see more about these rights at:  

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/individual-rights

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at [email protected]. 

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of the other rights.  However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive or refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. 

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identify and ensure your right to access your personal data or to exercise any of your other rights.  This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.  We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. 

When responding to a request to access your personal data, we are only required to carry out searches that are reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances (as now expressly recognised in the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.  This means we will consider factors such as the nature of the information sought, the context in which it is held, any difficulty involved in locating it and the potential benefit to you of receiving it. 

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month of receiving the request (or, where applicable, of receiving the identity verification information or clarification we have asked for – the response period is paused or “stopped”, while we wait for that information, in line with the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025). 

Occasionally it may take us longer than one month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests, in which case we may extend the response period by up to a further two months.  We will notify you within one month of receiving your request if an extension is needed and explain why. 

10.  HOW TO COMPLAIN 

If you have a complaint about how we handle your personal data, we ask that you contact us first so that we can try to resolve it for you. 

Email: [email protected]   

We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days of receiving it.  We will investigate your complaint without undue delay, keep you informed of our progress, and communicate the outcome to you clearly with sufficient detail for you to understand how we reached our conclusion.
