Data Protection

From 25 May 2018 processing of personal data by organisations has had to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation/Data Protection Act 2018. These rules gives a clear set of rights to everyone in society as well as making clear the responsibilities of organisations which handle or process information about people (or 'Data Subjects' as they are known). GDPR applies to 'Data Contollers' and 'Data Processors'.

A 'Data Controller' determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

A 'Data Processor' is responsible for processing personal data on behalf of a controller.

Rudyard Kipling Primary School is a Data Controller as we collect or generate data about pupils, parents/guardians, staff and visitors. Please read our privacy notice here.
