These are regulations that came into force on 25th May 2018 through the Data Protection Act 2018 which updated and replaced the Data Protection Act 1998. It was amended on 1st January 2021 by regulations under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, to reflect the UK’s status outside the EU. It sits alongside and supplements the UK GDPR, for example by providing exemptions. The UK GDPR is the UK General Data Protection Regulation. It is a UK law which came into effect on 1st January 2021. It sets out the key principles, rights and obligations for most processing of personal data in the UK. The GDPR is based on data protection principles that our Trust must comply with. The principles say that personal data must be: Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is processed Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date Kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed Processed in a way that ensures it is appropriately secure Data Controller Unity Academy Trust is registered with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) as a Data Controller. As a Trust, we take our responsibilities to data protection very seriously and we aim to ensure that all personal data collected about staff, pupils, parents, governors, visitors and other individuals is collected, stored and processed in accordance with GDPR. Our Trust collects, holds and shares information (where necessary and where we are legally obligated to do so) about our pupils and families in order to provide relevant educational services that include keeping pupils safe.
