4. What Kinds Of Personal Information We Use

We use a variety of personal information depending on the products and services we deliver to you. For all products and services, we need to use your affiliated organisation name, your name, address and contact details. For some products and services, we might need additional information, for example: date of birth, health details for certain catering or residential services to help support our customers who have a vulnerability; and convictions information to meet legal obligations. Sometimes where we ask for your personal information needed to enter into a contract with you or to meet a legal obligation (such as an enhanced disclosure and barring services check), we will not be able to enter into an agreement without that personal information.

We obtain personal information:

  • Directly from you, for example when you fill out a booking request;
  • By observing how you use our products and services for example from accessing our residential/curriculum facilities;
  • From other organisations such as Local Education Authority, Diocese, Department for Education or from the organisation you are affiliated for example education provider. We also may obtain some personal information from monitoring or recording calls and when we use CCTV. We may record or monitor phone calls with you for regulatory purposes, for training and to ensure and improve quality of service delivery, to ensure safety of our staff and customers, and to resolve queries or issues. We also use CCTV on our premises to ensure the safety and security of our staff and customers.

6. How We Use Your Personal Information

To provide you with any products and services we may need to know your organisations details, your name, address, contact details and potentially see a copy of identification documents (such as a passport or driving licence). We might also need health information to help support our customers who have a vulnerability.

6.2 To administer payments to and from you, we will use: a) Your contact details and the payment details that you have provided to us; and b) Your location data to enable us to verify locations at which payments are made for fraud prevention purposes. We may give this information to our third-party payment providers to process the payment to you.

6.3 To comply with our legal obligations and to prevent crime we will use: a) Any information you have given us, that we have obtained from a third party, or that we have obtained by looking at how you use our services, where it is necessary for us to use that information to comply with a legal obligation; and b) This information may include name, address, date of birth, every country of residence/citizenship, personal identification (which may include passport number or driving licence number) your IP address, and information about any criminal convictions.

We will give information to and receive information from third parties where that is necessary to recover debts due by you to us, for example, debt recovery agents, credit reference agencies and sheriff officer or bailiff services. This might include passing personal information about you to a third party who we have transferred your debt to, and who will then contact you directly to collect that debt. If your debt is transferred to a third party, you will be advised of the identity of that third party. We use your information in this way because it is necessary to perform our contract with you, to exercise our legal rights, and because it is fair and reasonable for us to do so.
