We create and process personal data files for our current and future pupils, customers and suppliers in order to assess and process their registration and admission as well as to manage any contractual relationship with the persons concerned or their legal representatives.

 

In particular, data relating to the payment of school fees is used exclusively for internal or statistical purposes. All collection and analysis of personal data is treated as confidential.

 

We only pass on personal data to partners when this is necessary for the school’s activities and operations. Personal data collected is not passed on to third parties without the prior consent of the persons concerned or their legal representatives.
