Access & Correction

You have the right to request to access and/or correct the personal data held about you and your child(ren) by the School and the School shall respond to such request as soon as reasonably possible. You may contact the School in writing (together with proof of your identity) to confirm whether and how the school has used or disclosed your or your child(ren)’s personal data (up to the last 1 year before the date of your request) and request that any errors or omissions in your or your child’s personal data be rectified. You may also withdraw your consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and processing of your personal data at any time and the School will advise you of the consequences of withdrawing your consent. The School must be able to verify your identity before it can accept any access or correction requests from you and a fee may be charged for such access.
