This is to make sure sensitive or private data stays safe. Whilst it is similar to the current Data Protection Act in many ways, there are a few differences, so we need to make a few changes at the school in order to ensure we remain compliant. One of the changes we have made is updating the privacy policy for students and for parents/carers along with the schools’ data protection policy. Additionally, as part of the GDPR, you now have additional rights to regarding your data which apply to personal data held by all organisations: 1. **The right to be informed** – of where and how your data is used (see the privacy notice/s). 2. **The right of access** – similar to a subject access request or freedom of information request. 3. **The right to rectification** – if you believe your data is incorrect or incomplete. 4. **The right to erasure** – if you want your data erased from our systems, as we have a legal basis for processing data this would not usually be a legitimate request for information held by schools. 5. **The right to restrict processing** – this is the right for your personal data to not be processed for a time. 6. **The right to data portability** – requests for your information to be shared with another organisation, information shared between schools does not need any additional paperwork to be completed by parents/carers. 7. **The right to object** – to the processing of personal data for certain activities, again, requests for restriction of data held by schools is unlikely to be a legitimate request, you do, however, still have the right to request. 8. **Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling** – this type of data control is not used in school. If you would like to exercise any of the rights detailed here, please complete the Rights Request Form below and return to the school office or email to ****. If you would like to discuss any queries or concerns regarding GDPR, please do not hesitate to contact us either in person or by calling us **01332 571151**. ### GDPR at St Martins Data Protection Policy 435 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-martins-school/files/documents/Data_Protection_Policy.pdf) Freedom of Information Policy 288 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-martins-school/files/documents/Freedom_of_Information_Policy.pdf) Parent Privacy Notice 322 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-martins-school/files/documents/policies/Parent-Privacy-Notice.pdf) Pupil Privacy Notice 360 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-martins-school/files/documents/policies/Pupil-Privacy-Notice.pdf) ### Our School - [Headteacher’s Message](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/headteacher-s-message) - [Our Ethos and Values](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/our-ethos-and-values) - [Ofsted Report and Information](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/ofsted-report-and-information) - [Outcomes](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/outcomes) - [Policies](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/policies) - [Pupil Premium](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/pupil-premium) - [Safeguarding](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/safeguarding) - [Staff Team](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/staff-team) - [Key Information](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/key-information) - [Lettings](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/lettings) - [School Council](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/school-council-and-student-voice) - [School Gallery](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/school-gallery) - [Staff Wellbeing](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/staff-wellbeing) - [Vacancies at St Martins](https://stmartinsschoolderby.schoolrecruiter.com/) - [Heart of The Park Cafe](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/heart-of-the-park-cafe) ![St Martins School](https://files.schudio.com/st-martins-school/images/logo/St_Martins_White.png) #### St Martins School The Derwent Campus Bracknell Drive Alvaston Derby DE24 0BT 01332 571151 #### Our School - [Welcome](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/headteacher-s-message) - [Outcomes](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/our-school/outcomes) - [Term Dates](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/termdates) - [Latest Updates](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/parents/letters-and-newsletters) - [Calendar](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/calendar) #### Governance - [Academy Council](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/academy-council/about-the-academy-council) - [Shaw Education Trust Information](https://www.shaw-education.org.uk/) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://en-gb.facebook.com/StMartinsSchoolDerby/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stmartinsderby) © Copyright 2022–2026 St Martins School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stmartinsschoolderby.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
