Using personal data
We are collecting your information as you have asked us to send you regular York Education email updates.
The information you give us will be used to deliver these updates to the email address you have given us.
These updates include:
- information for education leaders in York about Government guidance, for example from the Department for Education
- news, guidance and reminders from City of York Council teams such as;
- Education
- Public Health
- Communications
- updates from partners in the city or national partners if they relate to events or programmes we consider to be of interest or importance to York’s educational community
We use GOV.UK Notify to send our council email updates to you.
We will not use the information for any other purpose than set out in this privacy notice and will not disclose to a third party such as other companies or individuals, unless we are required to do so by law for the prevention of crime and detection of fraud, or, in some circumstances, when we feel that you or others are at risk.

Retaining personal data
We will keep the information you give us in our secure network drive and make sure it can only be accessed by authorised staff.
We will only keep your information for as long as we have your consent and then we will securely and confidentially destroy it.
At the end of the retention period, we may pass any relevant information to the City Archives where it is required or appropriate to do so.
Further processing of personal data
If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, not covered by this Privacy Notice, then we'll provide you with a new notice.
The new notice will:

Where and whenever necessary, we'll seek your consent to the new processing, if we start to use your personal data for a purpose not mentioned in this Privacy Notice.
