Privacy Policy (UK)
Online Privacy Statement
There is a full privacy statement below which you are free to read – however this section provides a summary of what data we collect and what we do with it in simple and straightforward terms.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to e-mail us at: director@maunsellinternationalschool.com
Online data – we use google analytics to collect overall data on the number of visitors to our website and what they do when they are there, e.g., if 100 people viewed our home page and then 86 of them viewed an individual campus, we can see that information. We also review how long people browse our website and broadly, where they come from on a regional level. We do not store or collect any data on IP addresses or use that data to identify individuals. Although this information is available through google analytics, it is not used by us or processed in any way. We use the data we collect to alter our website on a general level.
Customers – we collect the names and addresses of our business customers as well as their contact details for the purposes of dealing with them on a daily basis. This is necessary to meet our customers’ needs. All customer data is stored for 7 years after which it is securely destroyed (shredded).
You can opt out of receiving any contact, other than that mandated by our contractual obligations by e-mailing us at: director@maunsellinternationalschool.com
Business Prospects – we source and collect the details of businesses, and individuals in those businesses, for the purposes of marketing. We send out direct e-mail and make sales calls. This is done based on legitimate business interest. It is in our interest to communicate with businesses in our area to sell our services, and it is in their interests to receive our communications.
You can opt out of receiving any communications by e-mailing us at: director@maunsellinternationalschool.com
Customers’ Data – as a marketing agency, we receive and manage databases from our customers for the purpose of marketing. Therefore, customers will send us, for example, a list of e-mails to send out an email campaign for. We make every effort to cut down the data we receive to an absolute minimum, with a policy of only storing data that is necessary. We process this data, for e-mails and mailing through selected suppliers, who we have performed due diligence on and can confirm they are GDPR compliant.
On behalf of our customers, we also record and review their google analytics activity. However, at no time is this data used to identify individuals. We also have access to customer websites, and so have access to leads, customers and subscribers to those websites.
You have the right to be forgotten by us. If you want to be forgotten, please e-mail us at: director@maunsellinternationalschool.com.
We will remove all the data we hold other than what is required under our contractual obligations. We will no longer communicate with you. However, it is important for you to be aware that by being forgotten, should your details be passed to us, or you make a new enquiry, we will neither hold, nor have access to data about you. We also need to store some data, in a secure place, to ensure that we remember your request to be forgotten (for example should we need to restore systems from a backup, we need to know, to remember, that you wanted to be forgotten).
As part of handling and processing your data, we have a designated Data Controller and this is your first point of call should you have any issues or questions about what we do, or why we do it.
Our Data Controller is: Maunsell International School Ltd., 18-20, Canterbury Road, Whitstable, CT5 4EY – Kent - England

Your personal information
Collecting very specific, relevant information is a necessary part of us being able to provide you with the services you are purchasing.

Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests. We will not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).
We collect a range of data – information required to deal with our customers and process their data. We also collect contact details (e.g., e-mail address, phone number, address).
We may share this data with third parties such as e-mail sending providers who have confirmed that they are GDPR compliant.
We may need to transfer data outside the UK or EEA. However, by the nature of the Internet, the personal data you supply through this website may be sent electronically to servers anywhere in the world, Google Analytics data for example.

If deemed necessary to transfer any data outside the EEA, please rest assured that all reasonable security measures will be taken and that any third-party processors will be required to process such data in accordance with GDPR.

The data we hold comes from two sources – with regards to our customers, it comes directly from the customers themselves. However, with regards to our business contacts, it either comes directly from them, or from publicly available sources including the internet. Our customers also supply us with their data for marketing purposes.

Most cookies we use are ‘session’ cookies and only exist for the time that you are using our website. They perform functional tasks – such as remembering that you are logged in as you move from page to page, or to pre-load your personal details into forms to save you time.
We also ‘tracking cookies’ anonymously to fuel our website analytics and learn how to improve your experience and fine-tune the relevance of our services.
