Data protection

At International School Ikast-Brande, we give high priority to data security and confidentiality. This privacy policy sets out clear guidelines for International School Ikast-Brande’s way of processing your personal data.

These guidelines have been prepared from the EU Data Protection Regulation, which takes effect in Denmark from 25th May 2018, as well as the new Danish Data Protection Act.

Below you can read about the information collected, including how the information is processed, what the information is used for, who has access to the information, and who you can contact if you have questions or objections regarding the information collected.

 

1. Contacting the Data Controller:

 

Telephone: 0045 97 15 64 65

E-mail: office@isib.dk

School's CVR. No.:31 95 21 82

​

2. Purpose and legal requirements for processing your and your child’s personal data:

​

The school processes your information in order to fulfill our obligations as a school that follows the legislation for Independent and Private Schools.

​

For instance:

​

• the school collects students’ and parents’ information in connection with a student's admission to our school, in order to apply for state grants;

• the school collects personal information about Board Members due to legal requirements;

• the school uses information about external partners according to the contract we have with them.

 

3. Categories of Personal Information​

​

The school deals with two categories of Personal Information.

​

The school mainly deals with General Information, such as name, address, etc. In some cases, we deal with a special category of personal information, also known as Sensitive Information: for instance, medical information about a child. This occurs after obtaining specific consent from parents.

​

The school also deals with personal ID numbers (CPR numbers), and obtains criminal record checks on staff members. Both are a necessary part of running the school, and a legal requirement. Criminal record checks are obtained only after receiving specific consent from staff members. Obtaining this consent is part of the ISIB recruitment process and all job applicants and potential candidates for employment at ISIB are expected to provide such consent as part of the recruitment process.

The school handles all confidential information with extreme care.

 

4. Recipients of Information​

​

Generally it is only the school that uses the personal information that we have about a student or parents. The school has guidelines for what specific personal information is stored and when an employee has access to personal information about students and parents.

​

For example, it is only Leaders and Administration of the school who have access to General and Sensitive Information.

Teachers only have access to relevant information about the children they teach.

​

We also disclose information to the Ministry of Education and other public authorities when we are required to by law.

It is also worth noting that the school also uses external suppliers in relation to the curriculum: for example, Cambridge International Examinations, MyMaths, Clio, Unilogin, Microsoft Office 365, etc. These external suppliers treat our personal information according to the instructions contained in a Data Service Agreement that the school has entered into with the supplier.

 

5. Retention of Personal Data

​

The school stores personal information according to guidelines set by the Data Protection Commission, www.datatilsynet.dk.

In general, we only store Personal Information as long as it is necessary to fulfill our obligations as a school. For example, we delete general information about students and parents when the student leaves the school. Please be aware that the school is required to retain specific information for a longer period of time, such as exam results.

​

6. Your Right to Withdraw Consent
