School of Sexuality Education Privacy Notice

School of Sexuality Education aims to improve people's physical health and emotional wellbeing, and give them the critical tools to develop or defend a more equal society. We do this through comprehensive and inclusive sex and relationships education workshops for young people which confront taboos and social injustices; as well as training for staff, and sessions for University students.

We collect feedback from our workshops in order to help us to improve our work. This Privacy Notice tells you what we collect and what we do with the data. We only use your information where we have a lawful basis for doing so.

We will update this policy without notice to you, so please check it regularly.

If you have questions then email us at info@schoolofsexed.org.

What this Privacy Notice does and who it applies to.

Sharing your information

When sharing the information collected through our feedback forms, your personal identity will be anonymised - we will not share your name or age; only your school year and school name.

We share our social impact, which we calculate using the information you provide through our feedback forms, with various stakeholder groups. This includes our customers (e.g. schools, youth groups and universities), prospective or current trustees, and prospective or current grant-awarding bodies. We communicate this information via our website, flyers, grant applications and annual reports.

Sometimes we may also have to share your information for other reasons, for example if we have a legal or public duty to do so; or if we asked you for permission to share it, and you have agreed. We will only do this if it is lawful to do so.

Sharing information with commissioning bodies

School of Sexuality Education is sometimes commissioned by other organisations to carry out work. This includes Anglia Ruskin University, University of Leicester and UCL Institute of Education. In these instances it is possible that we will need to share information we collect with these bodies. However, we will never share your personal data with these bodies - any information shared will be anonymised.

How long we’ll keep the information

We’ll keep information in line with our data protection policy. We keep the data collected via our feedback forms in order to monitor our social impact in any ongoing capacity, but this information is anonymised - we do not collect or store information which personally identifies you. We will retain the ability to link your survey feedback to your school, whether you are a teacher or student (and if a student – which school year) for 3 years after the survey. This is to confirm that the survey is a genuine response.

Any other data lawfully obtained will usually be kept for seven years from when it is obtained. If we don’t need to retain information we may destroy, delete or anonymise it sooner.

Your rights when it comes to your information include:

  • the right to access information we hold about them and to obtain information about how we process it;

  • in some circumstances, the right to withdraw their consent to our processing of their information, which they can do at any time. We may continue to process their information if we have another legitimate reason for doing so;

  • the right to request that we rectify their information if it’s inaccurate or incomplete;

  • in some circumstances, the right to request that we erase their information. We may continue to retain their information if we’re entitled or required to retain it;

  • the right to object to, and to request that we restrict, our processing of their information in some circumstances.

There may be situations where individuals object to, or ask us to restrict, our processing of their information but we’re entitled to continue processing their information and/or to refuse that request if we have grounds to do so.

Individuals can exercise their rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer. Individuals also have a right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office by visiting www.ico.org.uk.

How we keep information secure.

We use different methods to keep information safe and secure such as electronic security. We require our staff and any third parties who work for us to comply with our standards including to protect all information and apply appropriate measures to the use and transfer of information.
