Privacy and Data Protection Policy

Cool4School Privacy and Data Protection Policy

Cool4School is fully compliant with the GDPR law for the UK/EU from 01 September 2020

Administrator(s)

We keep securely the name and email address of the person or persons allocated by the school as the administrator(s) of the software for the school.

We supply a password and username. All passwords are encrypted and as soon as the administrator changes it, only the administrator knows what it is.

It is the responsibility of the administrator to ensure no student or any other unauthorised person has access to these logon credentials.

The administrator can also in certain circumstances ask Cool4School to undertake some of these tasks, in which case the operation will be carried out by a member of Cool4School staff trained in data protection.

Students

Each school or establishment can allocate a generic student username and password supplied by Cool4School. The school administrator can change the password.


Deletion

The administrator may in an emergency ask Cool4School to suspend the software.  This will have the effect of stopping any user making use of the software.

Data Processing in the European Economic Area (EEA)

A Cool4School “Data Region” is a set of data centres located within a defined geographical area where User data is stored. Personal data is not transmitted between Data Regions. For Users with accounts located in Cool4School’s European Data Region, all processing of personal data is performed in accordance with privacy rights and regulations following the EU Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 (the “Directive”), and the implementation of the Directive in local legislation. From May 25, 2018, the Directive and local legislation based on the Directive will be replaced by the Regulations (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and Cool4School’s processing will take place in accordance with GDPR.

Cool4School processes personal data as both a Processor and Controller, as defined in the Directive and the GDPR. Consequently, Cool4School processes all data provided by its Users with accounts in its European Data Region, in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) only.

Contacts

Cool4School will keep securely names, addresses and email addresses of teachers who ask for trial versions or otherwise ask for more information. This information will be used in the following ways:

•To tell trial users their logon credentials and to remind them.

•To send further details including prices

•To warn users of the ending of trials

Administrators will also be contacted from time to time with newsletters and information about the expiry of their subscription.

All contacts will have the right to have their details deleted from the database.


Privacy impact assessment

Cool4School has a number of strategies in place to secure data, with strict limits on the number of people who have access. Class teachers only have access to data for the student account to which they have been assigned. All data is protected by secret usernames and passwords. Passwords are hidden and encrypted.

In the extremely unlikely event of data being stolen, the impact will be limited to teacher names and usernames. No student names, email addresses, phone numbers, gender information, age, date of birth or address are stored.

The only other data stored consists of the teacher’s names, school email addresses and school address.
