Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

For the purposes of this notice, “the School” refers to The King’s School Canterbury, Bengaluru. The School is currently in its pre-opening phase and operates a website at kingscanterburybangalore.com for the purpose of engaging with prospective families and the wider community ahead of its opening in 2027.

The School is a Data Fiduciary as defined under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). This means the School determines the purpose and means of processing personal data it collects.


2. What This Privacy Policy Is For

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide information about how the School will use (or “process”) personal data about individuals who interact with us through the Website, register their interest, or otherwise communicate with us.

Members of our community whose data we process include prospective pupils and their parents or guardians, website visitors, enquirers, donors, and any individuals who engage with us ahead of the School’s opening.

This information is provided because applicable data protection law gives individuals (referred to as “Data Principals” under the DPDP Act) rights to understand how their data is used. All those whose data we process are encouraged to read this Privacy Policy carefully.

This Privacy Policy applies alongside any other information the School may provide about a particular use of personal data, for example, when collecting data via a registration form or enquiry form.


3. Why the School Needs to Process Personal Data

In order to carry out its pre-opening activities and to fulfil its duties to prospective pupils, parents, and the wider community, the School needs to process personal data as part of its day-to-day operations.

Some of this activity the School will need to carry out in order to fulfil its legal rights, duties, or obligations. Other uses of personal data will be made in accordance with the School’s legitimate interests, provided that these are not outweighed by the impact on individuals and do not involve special or sensitive categories of data.

The School expects the following uses will fall within its legitimate interests:

  • For the purposes of receiving and managing registrations of interest from prospective families;
  • To communicate with prospective parents about the School’s pre-opening activities, events, and progress;
  • To provide information about the School’s curriculum, ethos, and admissions process;
  • For the purposes of management planning, research, and statistical analysis related to the School’s opening;
  • To maintain relationships with the broader community, including prospective donors and partners;
  • To make use of photographic images and other media in the School’s publications, website, and social media channels, in accordance with applicable policy;
  • To carry out or cooperate with any relevant complaints, disciplinary, or investigation process; and
  • Where otherwise reasonably necessary for the School’s purposes, including to obtain appropriate professional advice and insurance.

In addition, the School may on occasion need to process sensitive personal data (as defined under the DPDP Act and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011). This may include:

  • Health and medical information, where relevant to safeguarding or pastoral care;
  • Financial information, in connection with bursary or fee-related enquiries;
  • Information about special educational needs, where voluntarily disclosed by a prospective family.

Such sensitive personal data will be processed only where strictly necessary, and with the explicit consent of the individual concerned or where required by law.


4. Types of Personal Data Processed

This will include, by way of example:

  • Names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and other contact details;
  • Information about prospective pupils, including age, year group, and prior schooling;
  • Financial information provided in connection with bursary or fee enquiries;
  • Correspondence with and concerning prospective staff, pupils, and parents;
  • Images of individuals engaging with the School at events or on site visits, where consent has been obtained; and
  • Any other personal information voluntarily submitted via the Website or in the course of communicating with the School.

5. How the School Collects Data

Generally, the School receives personal data from the individual directly (including, in the case of prospective pupils, from their parents or guardians). This may be via the Website’s registration of interest form, an enquiry form, or simply in the ordinary course of interaction or communication (such as email or telephone).

In some cases, personal data may be supplied by third parties, such as referrers, educational consultants, or other professionals working with a prospective family. In such cases, we will inform the individual of how their data has been obtained.


6. Who Has Access to Personal Data and Who the School Shares It With

Processing by Third Parties

For the most part, personal data collected by the School will remain within the School and will be processed by appropriate individuals only in accordance with access protocols (i.e. on a need-to-know basis). However, some functions may be outsourced, including IT services, cloud storage and records management, and marketing or communications support. In accordance with applicable law, this type of external data processing is subject to contractual assurances that personal data will be kept securely and used only in accordance with the School’s specific directions.

Data Sharing

Occasionally, the School will need to share personal information with third parties, such as:

  • Professional advisers (e.g. lawyers, insurers, and accountants);
  • Government authorities and regulatory bodies, where required by law;
  • Educational qualification providers and examination boards;
  • Appropriate contractors and service providers engaged to support the School’s operations; and
  • The King’s School Canterbury, Canterbury, United Kingdom, as the parent institution, for governance, quality assurance, and operational purposes.

The School will not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose personal data to third parties for commercial purposes.

Cross-Border Data Transfers

In some cases, personal data may be transferred to or processed by entities outside India, including to The King’s School Canterbury in the United Kingdom. Such transfers will be made only in accordance with applicable Indian law, including the DPDP Act, and appropriate safeguards will be in place to protect your data.


7. How Long We Keep Personal Data

The School will retain personal data securely and only in line with how long it is necessary to keep it for a legitimate and lawful reason. Personal data submitted via the Website (including registrations of interest) will generally be retained until the School’s admissions process for the relevant cohort is complete, and for a reasonable period thereafter.

If you have any specific queries about how our retention policy is applied, or wish to request that personal data you no longer believe to be relevant is considered for erasure, please contact us using the details set out below. Please note that the School will often have lawful and necessary reasons to retain some personal data even following such a request.

A limited and reasonable amount of information will be kept for archiving purposes. Even where you have requested that we no longer contact you, we will need to keep a record of that request in order to honour your wishes (a “suppression record”).


8. Keeping in Touch

The School will use the contact details of prospective families, enquirers, and other members of the School’s community to keep them updated about the activities of the School, including by sending updates and newsletters, by email, and by post, unless the individual objects.

You always have the right to withdraw consent, where given, or to object to direct marketing communications. To do so, please contact us using the details below.


9. Your Rights

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and other applicable Indian law, you have the following rights as a Data Principal:

  • The right to nominate another individual to exercise your data protection rights on your behalf in the event of your death or incapacity.

Please note that some of the above rights are not absolute, and the School may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply under applicable law.

10. Data Accuracy and Security

The School will endeavour to ensure that all personal data held in relation to an individual is as up to date and accurate as possible. Individuals must notify the School’s Admissions team of any significant changes to important information, such as contact details.

The School will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of personal data about individuals, including policies around the use of technology, devices, and access to School systems.


11. Changes to This Policy

The School will update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any substantial changes that affect your rights will be communicated to you directly as far as is reasonably practicable.
