Sharing your information

MySchool does not, and will not, sell any of your Personal Data to any third party. It is not our business to do so.

However, we share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our Service, as set out in this statement:

  1. Companies that are involved in the process of delivering our Service to you, such as payment service providers, and hosting providers amongst others.
  2. Professional service providers, such as advertising partners and website hosts who service us in turn to operate our business.
  3. Credit reference agencies, law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies, so we can help tackle fraud.

There may be other occasions where we might have to share disclose your date – e.g. with a court order, to comply with legal requirements and satisfy a legal request, for the proper administration of justice, to protect your vital interests, to fulfil your requests, to safeguard the integrity of the relevant websites operated by us or by such related entities or subsidiaries, or in the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganisation, dissolution or similar event involving us and/or our subsidiaries and related entities.

When we do share data, we do so on an understanding with the other entities that the data is to be used only for the purposes for which we originally intended – again, we don’t want you to have any surprises.

We may also provide third parties with aggregated but anonymised information and analytics about our customers and, before we do so, we will make sure that it does not identify you. Anonymous information means it is anonymous.

If we ever have to share data with entities that are outside of the EEA, we will be sure to do so in a manner that complies with the requirements established by the GDPR.

Security Of data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.    

MySchool is independently audited and certified compliant with ISO IEC 27001-1:2015. This is the most globally recognised Information Security standard available. This includes security measures but not limited to: data backup, firewall protection, data encryption, risk management, strict data access policies and the use of third party services, namely Hubspot, that maintain strict data protection compliance. You can learn more about Hubspot’s data protection measure here. https://legal.hubspot.com/security.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your data protection rights    

You enjoy several rights relating to your personal information.          

In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights:

  • The right to be informed about how your personal information is being used;

We need to be clear with you about how we process your personal data. We do this through this Website Privacy Policy, which we will keep as up to date as possible.

  • The right to access the personal information we hold about you;

You can access the personal data we hold on you by contacting us on privacy@msm.io.

  • The right to request that we delete your information;     .

You can ask us to delete your personal data; however this is not an absolute right. In spite of a request for erasure, we may be justified to keep personal data which we need to keep, e.g. (i) to comply with a legal obligation (for instance, we are required by personal data for VAT reporting purposes); and (ii) in relation to the exercise or defence of any legal claims.

When you ask us to delete your personal data, we assume that you do not want to hear from us again. To ensure that we do not send you any special offers in the future (for example, if we purchased your details from a third party list), we will retain just enough of your personal data solely for suppression purposes.

Other than as described above, we will always comply with your request and do so promptly. We would carry out our best efforts to notify any third parties with whom we have shared your personal data about your request so that they could also comply.

  • The right of rectification ;

You have the right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete. We appreciate feedback from you to ensure our records are accurate and up-to-date.

  • The right to object to certain processing based on legitimate interests;

You have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data where we use it for our legitimate interests or where we use your personal information to carry out profiling using automated means..

  • The right of restriction;

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information.

  • The right to data portability;

You have the right to move, copy or transfer your personal data from one organisation to another. If you do wish to transfer your personal data we would be happy to help. You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable, and commonly used format. Please note that we are not required to adopt processing systems that are compatible with another organisation, so it may be that the recipient organisation cannot automatically use the personal data we provide. When making a transfer request, it would be helpful if you can identify exactly what personal data you wish us to transfer.

  • The right to withdraw consent for consent based processing;

You also have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where MySchool Ltd relied on your consent to process your personal information.

 

If you want to exercise your rights, have a complaint, or just have questions, please contact us on privacy@msm.io.

Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. We will carry out our best efforts to process your request within one month or, if the request is particularly complex, two months. We can provide you with a copy of your personal data in electronic format or hard copy.

Please appreciate that the rights must be exercised within some limitation – for example, if you ask us for information we can only give you what relates to you and not what relates to other persons. If we consider the frequency of your requests as being unreasonable, we may refuse to comply with your request or charge a reasonable fee.

You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority in the European Economic Area (EEA).
