Children and young people: privacy notice

Your information

Why the Scottish Government need it and what we do with it.

The Scottish Government gets information from schools and local authorities. Schools and local authorities collect information.

Things like:

• how many learners are in each school
• attendance records
• exam results
• learners progress in reading, writing, listening and talking, and numeracy
• what young people choose to do after they leave school

Schools and local authorities also collect personal information.

Everyone has personal information:

• your name
• address
• date of birth
• the names of parents or carers.

It helps people know who you are and what you need.
