Personal Information Protection & Privacy Policy
1. Policy Statement
Little Learners Lonehill acknowledges the importance of personal information, and hereby pledges to devote thorough efforts to the proper treatment and protection of all personal information.
2. Purpose
This Policy aims to ensure compliance with POPIA and recognizes the importance of treating personal data as strictly confidential.
3. Scope
The Information Officer is responsible for administering and overseeing the implementation of this policy and, as applicable, supporting guidelines, standard operating procedures, notices, consents and appropriate related documents and processes. All employees, and individuals directly associated with the processing of personal information at Little Learners Lonehill are trained, according to their functions, in the regulatory requirements, policies and guidelines that govern the protection of personal information.
We conduct periodic reviews and audits, where appropriate, to ensure compliance with this policy and guidelines. Little Learners Lonehill uses the personal information acquired only for the purpose of attainment of the objectives of providing educational services. Little Learners Lonehill shall not use such personal information for any purpose other than the purpose of attainment of those objectives without the consent of the data subject.
4. Policy
Little Learners Lonehill takes reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information obtained is stored safely and securely. Little Learners Lonehill collects personal information directly from data subjects and once in Little Learners Lonehill’s possession, only releases personal information with the data subject/parent/guardian’s consent, except where required to do so by law. In the latter case, Little Learners Lonehill will always inform data subject/parent/guardian prior to doing so.
Personal information may not be processed further in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which the information was collected initially.
We are responsible for ensuring that data subject information is complete, up to date and accurate before it is used. This means that it may be necessary to request that data subjects/parents/guardians, from time to time, update the information and confirm that it is still relevant. If personal information is used for two purposes, we will retain it until the purpose with the latest period expires, but we will stop using it for the purpose with a shorter period once that period expires.
Little Learners Lonehill will ensure technical and organisational measures are in place to secure the integrity of personal information, and guard against the risk of loss, damage, or destruction thereof.
Personal information must also be protected against any unauthorised or unlawful access or processing. We recognise that information security is an integral element of data privacy. While no data transmission (including over the Internet or any website) can be guaranteed to be secure from intrusion, we implement a range of commercially reasonable physical, technical and procedural measures to help protect personal information from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction in accordance with data protection law requirements. Little Learners Lonehill is committed to ensuring that information is only used for legitimate purposes with relevant consent and only by authorised employees of Little Learners Lonehill.
Data subjects/parents/guardians are entitled to know particulars of their personal information held by Little Learners Lonehill, as well as the identity of any authorised employees that had access thereto.
They are also entitled to correct any information held by Little Learners Lonehill. Little Learners Lonehill has established appropriate standard operating procedures that are consistent with this policy.
Little Learners Lonehill takes data privacy seriously. We recognize and value the trust that our families place in us when providing us with personal information and we are committed to safeguarding the privacy and security of personal information we may collect.
