Paula's Childcare

As with any childminder or organisation that holds data, I consider privacy an important issue.   To abide by the new GDPR, I've put together this brief data policy. This only briefly covers what data I hold, and you can always get in touch with me for more information.

 

This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information I gather when you use my website and what correlation this has to my services.  This also outlines some of the steps I take to safeguard it.

 

These principles apply to personally identifying information I ask for and that you provide. By this I mean information that individually identifies you, such as your name, physical address, e-mail address or other contact details, and those for your child.

 

 

Data collection

 

Browsing of my website does not require any personally identifying information.

 

My website's host  - Wix -  may collect limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your internet protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your query and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. They use this information to better understand users’ behaviour and to further improve their offerings.

 

Data I hold is never kept online. My services require you to fill out forms that allow me to access your personal data. By providing this, you consent to myself storing this data for as long as your child is in my care, in a contract. All information collected is used to provide the best services possible and best care possible for your child.

 

Once you have left my services, all information is safely disposed of, aside from that which I must legally keep. Data is only shared where absolutely, or legally, necessary.

​

How your data is stored and kept is outlined in the pack you received when you first undertook my services. Please contact me if you require more information of this.

 

 

Your Rights 

 

2.1 In this Section is a summary of the rights that you have under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.

 

2.2 Your principal rights under data protection law are:
(a) The right to access;
(b) The right to rectification;
(c) The right to erasure;
(d) The right to restrict processing;
(e) The right to object to processing;
(f) The right to data portability;
(g) The right to complain to a supervisory authority; and
(h) The right to withdraw consent.

 

2.3 You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. This will be free of charge. You can access your personal data by contacting me.

 

2.4 You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

 

2.5 In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have been unlawfully processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

 

2.6 In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

 

2.7 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

 

 

2.8 If you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

 

 

2.9 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us.
