The privacy notices below are intended to provide information to pupils, teachers and parents about data collected and processed by the Scottish Government including why it is needed, our data policy and individuals’ data protection rights.

It is the responsibility of local authorities to ensure that pupils, teachers and parents are kept informed about how data will be used and to ensure that such information provided is reviewed regularly to ensure it is in line with best practice. To support this, local authorities may use or customise (including customisation for accessibility purposes) these notices as required for any of the following:
-
Inclusion in school handbooks
-
Including with information made available on school / local authority web pages
-
Issuing with the annual data check forms provided to pupils and teachers
