How we will use this information about you

We will use the information you provide in a manner that conforms to the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018.

We will endeavour to keep your information accurate and up to date and not keep it for longer than is necessary. In some instances the law sets the length of time information has to be kept. Please ask to see the States of Jersey Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills retention schedules for more detail about how long we retain your information.

We may not be able to provide you with a service unless we have enough information or your permission to use that information.

We will not pass any personal data on to anyone outside of the Government of Jersey, other than those who either process information on our behalf, or because of a legal or statutory requirement, and we will only do so, where possible, after we have ensured that sufficient steps have been taken by the recipient to protect your personal data.

We will not disclose any information that you provide ‘in confidence’, to anyone else without your permission, except in the few situations where disclosure is required by law, or where we have good reason to believe that failing to share the information would put someone else at risk. You will be told about this unless there are exceptional reasons not to do so.

We upload students’ data to the SIMS database that is hosted in the European Union which is shared with the Government of Jersey Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills.  We also use a number of web-based applications as part of our teaching, tracking and monitoring of students in order to support them in achieving their very best.  Applications such as Go4Schools and Kerboodle (for example) require us to share personal information with them in order to make effective use of the facilities they offer to support students in their learning.  Decisions on using these applications are carefully considered and a thorough due diligence process is followed as to how companies hold and use the data to check their suitability. 

In addition, students’ data may be uploaded to GL Assessments, ALPS, examination boards and a small amount of personal data is also stored (name, email address) on the Dynamic Learning database as well as for the SIMs InTouch service. All of these services are hosted within the European Union. To understand how this information is processed in more detail please see Appendix A.

Furthermore, please note that CCTV is only captured in an overt way with clear and visible notices declaring the cameras presence and use on the school site.  Images are kept for 30 days in a secure location and are only viewed when necessary to safeguard all those persons accessing the Hautlieu site.  In addition, photographs of members of the Hautlieu School community are uploaded onto a standalone computer in the School Office for identification purposes to support access into the main school building.

Data Sharing

As a school we are required to pass on data to The Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills.  When a student is transferring to another school or college, Hautlieu School and / or the Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills will pass on all information relevant to the education and care of the student to the other institution, in accordance with our public function. Information is also passed to UK examination and assessment organisations for processing. The resultant information is returned to both schools and the Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills. If your son or daughter is shortly to leave their current school, and to ensure their continuing education and care, details held in their files will be passed on to Hautlieu School.  The Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills also uses the information to derive statistics to inform decisions on (for example) the funding of schools, and to assess the performance of schools and set targets for them. The statistics are used in such a way that the individual students cannot be identified from them.

We may need to pass your information to other Government of Jersey departments or organisations to fulfil your request for a service such as Health, Children’s Social Care, Contact Tracing and Customer and Local Services. These departments and organisations are obliged to keep your details securely, and only use your information for the purposes of processing our service request.  Please read Appendix B for a list of organisations your data is shared with and how.

We may disclose information to other departments where it is necessary, either to comply with a legal obligation, or where permitted under other legislation. Examples of this include, but are not limited to: where the disclosure is necessary for the purposes of the prevention and/or detection of crime; for the purposes of meeting statutory obligations; or to prevent risk of harm to an individual.

At no time will your information be passed to organisations for marketing or sales purposes or for any commercial use without your prior express consent.

We will also be required by law to publicise certain information, for example performance data, but in these instances you data will be anonymised to protect your identity.  We will not publish any of your sensitive personal information unless there is a requirement for us to do so in order to carry out our statutory functions.

Communicating with us

If you email us we may keep a record of your email address and a copy of the email for record keeping purposes.

For security reasons we will not include any confidential information about you in any email we send to you. We would also suggest that you keep the amount of confidential information you send to us via email to a minimum or correspond with us by post.

We will not share your email address or your email contents unless is it necessary for us to do so either to fulfil your request for a service, to comply with a legal obligation, or where permitted under other legislation.

We do not record or monitor any telephone calls you make to us using recording equipment, although if you leave a message on our voicemail systems your message will be kept until we are able to return your call or make a note of your message.   File notes of when and why you called may be taken for record keeping purposes.  We will not pass on the content of your telephone calls, unless is it necessary for us to do so either to fulfil your request for a service, to comply with a legal obligation, or where permitted under other legislation.

We will always seek to comply with your request but we may be required to continue to process your information in order to comply with a legal requirement.

You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you

You are legally entitled to request a list of, or a copy of any information that we hold about you by completing a subject access request.
