Reference: Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free circulation of such data (known as GDPR)

in English: General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR

WHY THE GDPR?

This new European regulation starts from the following observation:

The legal framework has become inadequate for today’s digital environment;

Current protection is dispersed and unsuitable.

This new Regulation aims to:

Better supervise the free flow of data and preserve respect for privacy;

Allow people to become the owner of their data and to follow up on it;

Harmonize on a large scale, for greater coherence and organization.

WHAT ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT?

OUR DUTIES AND YOUR RIGHTS IN THE FACE OF THIS NEW REGULATION 

The LFSL undertakes to set up the new regulations on the protection of personal data and their free circulation, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016.

Each parent of pupil(s), pupil or former pupil remains the owner of his personal data. The LFSL does not have it freely available.

All data concerning the parents of pupils, pupils and former pupils are collected directly from the latter.

The collection of the pupils’ personal data by the school is justified by the need to register, ensure the best quality of service to pupils and alumni, provide the best follow-up of their schooling and undertake the surveys required by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research and the supervisory bodies.

The data collected is intended for LFSL staff who have the authority to process these data (teachers, teaching staff, educational and health personnel) as well as for administrative, accounting, and computing purposes (administrative staff, IT Manager)

The information collected may be communicated to third parties (subcontractors) affiliated to the LFSL by contract for the execution of subcontracted tasks necessary for the realization of administrative tasks. (Finance, payroll)

 

In case of refusal to provide all or part of their personal data that is essential for their registration and the follow-up of their schooling, the parents of pupil(s) are informed by the LFSL that this registration will not be possible. This will also apply to former pupils with regard to the provision of services by the school.

Data from parents of pupils, pupils and alumni of the LFSL are processed transparently, confidentially and securely. The LFSL undertakes that the use of personal data provided by a parent of pupil(s), a pupil or a former pupil, in the course of his schooling, is exclusively intended for the monitoring of his schooling, for statistical processing and to provide professional guidance. This monitoring includes the transmission of data concerning the pupil to academic bodies or academic partners

In the event that statistical processing is carried out by the school, the information is anonymized and transmitted as such. The school therefore guarantees that it is not possible for the recipient to go back to the source of the data. No assignment of personal data is made by the school to third parties either free of charge or for a fee.

The LFSL lists and communicates to all the parents of the pupil(s) the data and information concerning them.

The LFSL undertakes to apply the “right to be forgotten” and the “right to rectification” to any parent of pupil(s) or a former pupil who desires the latter and to give him access to the information held by the school concerning him. The school shall notify the nature of the rectification or deletion of the data by post or email to the pupil, unless such rectification or deletion proves impossible or requires disproportionate efforts on the part of the school (art. 19 of Regulation 2016/619). The information provided by the school must be in a readable format and accessible to the applicant concerned.

 

The LFSL undertakes to use the necessary means to protect your personal data, in particular to prevent them from being distorted, damaged or communicated to unauthorized third parties.
