? Our Data Protection Promise
? What is “Data”?
“Data” means information about people, like their names, birthdays, phone numbers, and schools. It’s stuff that tells someone who they are. We call this personal data.
?️ Why Do We Protect It?
Because it’s yours! And no one should use it badly or without asking you first. We want everyone to feel safe and respected, so we promise to be careful with it.
✅ Our Big Rules (What We Always Do)
1. We ask before we use your data
We only collect your data when we really need it, like when we’re helping you with something. We’ll always tell you why we need it.
2. We only use the bits we need
If we just need your name, we won’t ask for your favourite ice cream flavour. (Unless we’re having a party! ?)
3. We keep it safe
We use strong passwords and locked cabinets so people who shouldn’t see your data can’t.
4. We don’t keep it forever
When we’re finished with your data, we delete it safely or put it in the recycling bin for data (we call that “secure disposal”).
5. We don’t share without permission
We won’t give your data to anyone else unless:
You say it’s okay
We have to by law
Someone’s in danger, and we need to help
? What Can You Ask Us?
You can ask us any of these things anytime:
“What information do you have about me?”
“Can you fix something if it’s wrong?”
“Can you delete my data?”
“Can you stop using my data for now?”
“Can you send me a copy of what you’ve got?”
This is called your data rights. They’re kind of like superpowers for your information! ?
?? Who’s In Charge of Data?
We have a special person who makes sure we follow all the rules. They’re called the Data Protection Lead. If you have a question or worry, you can ask them.

?️ The Big Boss of Data Protection
If you’re really worried and we don’t help, you can talk to the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office). They’re like the data police, and they help people with their data problems.
? When Do We Check This Policy?
We read this policy every year to check if it still makes sense and follows the law. If something changes, we’ll update it and let people know.
