in the best interest of the data subject. Sensitive data may include:

  • Pastoral, physical or mental health.
  • Medical. (The NHS is the data controller here.)
  • Ethnicity and religion.

used as part of a risk assessment.


3. Collection of personal data

The collection points for this most of this personal data are paper or digital forms.
Some data is provided by third parties, such as references for pupils and staff, examination boards
or the disclosure and barring service for DBS checks.
Other personal data is collected during the course of normal operations of running the College.

Personal data collection has been reviewed and the College does not process personal data that is
not required for a specific purpose and in most cases provides specific privacy notice detail on
individual forms, especially those where consent is the legal basis.

4. Access to and sharing personal data.

Personal data processed by the College remains within the College and is processed by appropriate
members of staff for the purpose for which it was collected. Technical and procedural steps,
processes and procedures are in place to protect access to physical and digital personal data.
The College does not sell personal data. In some cases, we may be required to disclose personal
data, for example statuary reporting of health and safety incidents, safeguarding incidents where
external organisations are involved, and the emergency services and in other lawful and legitimate
cases.

The College may rely on external data processors for some systems and services and ensures that
compliant contracts are in place. Health and medical information collected during the admissions
process is passed to the NHS.

The College shares data where necessary for third parties, including:

  • Other schools to facilitate trips, events and sport events and matches.
  • Examination boards, Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), co-curricular organisations,
    drama, Combined Cadet Force (CCF) (MoD), DofE.
  • Commercial organisations such as hotels, travel companies etc.
  • Safeguarding hubs, emergency services.
  • Universities and Colleges relating to pupil applications.
  • UK Visas and Immigration.
  • In some cases, trips are made to countries outside the countries of adequacy as defined in
    data protection legislation for example China. Under such circumstances trip consent forms
    will make it clear that this is the case and the data subject will be required to consent to this
    as a condition of the trip.

Examination boards are data controllers in their own right. Specific rules apply to exam results,
requests for exam results and examination papers. Individual examination boards publish their own
privacy notices and relevant Subject Access Requests may be made directly to examination boards.

In some circumstances we may publish, in a restricted way, personal data or sensitive personal data,
allergy or other medical conditions for example, where having that information freely available to
relevant staff is clearly in the best interest of the data subject.

5. Retention periods for personal data

The College retains personal data for differing periods of time for different purposes as required by
statute or best practice. Individual departments incorporate retention times into the processes and
manuals. Other statutory obligations, legal processes & enquiries may also necessitate the retention
or extended retention of certain data.

In general, we keep personal data for no longer than is required for the purpose for which it was
collected, some exceptions are:

  • The Marlburian Club, as an alumni centred organisation will keep personal data relating to
    its members in accordance with its constitution.
