Meet our legal obligations to specify the purposes for which we process personal information.

 

Collect and process appropriate personal information, only to the extent that it is needed to fulfil our operational needs or to comply with any legal requirement

Collection of personal information

If we collect personal information via our website, prior to finally submitting any personal information to our website, we will endeavour to ensure that you are informed as to:

  • The purpose for collecting the information
  • What the information will be used for
  • The identity of anyone else to whom the information will be given and what they will use it for
  • How you can request copies of any personal information we hold on you.

 

Children (under 16)

We do not ask children to disclose any more information than is reasonably necessary to enable them to particpate in an activity on our websites and to improve the website.

 

We do not disclose personal information we have collected from children through the website to third parties without a good reason that will have been made clear at the time the information is collected.

 

We arrange for all web editors with access to children's personal information gathered and held through our websites to have CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) checks.

 

Types of information we collect from children

Competition entries - first name, surname, school, age, email address. If a child wins we will then contact them to let them know they have won and ask them to supply a postal address so that we can send the prize. If we publish the winner's information on the website then as part of the entry procedure we will inform the entrant that the personal information will be published at the time of collection of the information. We would either publish first name, school and age or full name and age. We would never publish full name, school and age without permission from a parent/carer or teacher.

 

  • e-newsletter - in order to send an e-newsletter we will collect first name, surname and email address.
  • e-cards - in order to send out an e-card from a child we will collect their name and email address but we do not keep a record of this information after the card has been delivered
  • Photographs - we do not publish photographs of children on our websites eg from events, without written consent from a parent or carer.
