vibrant-meadow is committed to ensuring that your personal data is processed in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This page provides detailed information about how we comply with these regulations.

Data Controller

vibrant-meadow acts as the data controller for personal information collected through this website and in connection with our educational services. As data controller, we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We only process personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases we rely upon include:

• Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as receiving marketing communications.
• Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as providing educational services you have enrolled in.
• Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with the law.
• Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your rights.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we erase your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organisation, or directly to you, in certain circumstances.

Data Transfers

We primarily process and store data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in compliance with UK GDPR requirements.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.
