What is Personal data?
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute personal data.
The GDPR and the UK’s DPA protects personal data regardless of the technology used and applies to both automated and manual processing of your data. It also doesn’t matter how the data is stored – in an IT system, or on paper; in all cases, personal data is subject to the protection requirements set out in the GDPR and the UK’s DPA.
How do we collect personal data
We collect data from you or about you when you:
- On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in a contact form.
- On the other hand, data is collected automatically or with your consent or your parents or guardian consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
Personal data we collect about you
Depending on how you interact with us, we collect different types of information from you.
This includes for example your:
- name,

- Content you create and share with us.
We also collect information about the computer system or other technological device you use to access any of our websites, such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address used to connect your computer or device to the internet, the operating system type and web browser type and version.
If you access our website through a mobile device such as a smartphone, the information collected also includes, where permitted, your phone’s unique device ID, advertising ID, geographic location and other similar mobile device data.
When you navigate and interact with our websites, we use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your actions. This includes, for example, information about which links you click, which pages or content you view and for how long.
Sensitive personal data
We will never ask you for sensitive personal data. Where it is necessary to process your sensitive personal data for any reason, we will ask your parents or guardian.
Asking Your Parents First
If you’re under 13, we always ask your parents or guardian before we collect or use any of your data. They must give us permission (called “consent”) before you can sign up, join a class, or use parts of the website.

We take appropriate measures to keep your personal data confidential and secure. Your personal data will be handled by us only for purpose for which it was collected for. We store your personal data securely and protect it against unauthorised access.
It is important that you also help to ensure that your personal data remains safe and secure.

When you use a shared or public computer, never keep your login ID / email address or password and log off each time you leave the computer.
