7.   YOUR RIGHTS

You have various rights under GDPR to access and understand the personal data we hold about you, and in some cases to ask for it to be erased or amended or for us to stop processing it, but subject to certain exemptions and limitations.

You always have the right to withdraw consent, where given, or otherwise object to receiving generic or upcoming programs/ events communications.

If you would like to access or amend your personal data or would like it to be transferred to another person or organisation or have some other objection to how your personal data is used, please make your request in writing to the Data Protection Officer.

We will respond to any such written requests as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within statutory time-limits, which is one month in the case of requests for access to information. We will be better able to respond quickly to smaller, targeted requests for information. If the request is manifestly excessive or similar to previous requests, we may ask you to reconsider or charge a proportionate fee, but only where GDPR allows it.

You should be aware that certain data is exempt from the right of access. This may include information which identifies other individuals, or information which is subject to legal privilege. We are also not required to disclose any program outcomes, nor any confidential reference given by the school for the purposes of the assessment by advisory board, training or progress of any individual.

​

8.  MEMBER DATA

The rights under Data Protection legislation belong to the individual to whom the data relates. However, we will often rely on school consent to process personal data relating to students (if consent is required) unless, given the nature of the processing in question, and the student’s age and understanding, it is more appropriate to rely on the student’s consent.

Schools should be aware that in such situations they may not be consulted, depending on the interests of the child.

​

9.   CHANGE OF DETAILS 

We try to ensure that all personal data held in relation to an individual is as up to date and accurate as possible.  Please notify Teenspire Global Mission of any changes to important information, such as contact details, held about you.
