This privacy policy sets out how Truro School uses and protects any information that you give Truro School when you use https://www.truroschool.com/
Truro School is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy
statement.
The Truro School website features various contact forms where users are able to provide data. These forms are classed in three categories and are used for the purposes of:
The Alumni (Old Truronian) database comprises alumni, former staff, former governors, parents of alumni and friends of Truro School.
These are one-field forms that appear on selected pages of the Truro School website. Users are invited to submit their email address to be reminded of upcoming open events and/or admissions deadlines. The appearance of these forms can vary, either being embedded in the website or appearing as pop-ups.
This information is added to Truro School’s secure admissions database through the School Information Management System (SIMS) software.
All contact details provided through these two contact forms permit an initial follow up and this is stated at the point of data entry.
In addition, users may also opt-in to receive information on future Truro School open events and admissions deadlines. All users have the right to ask for their data to be removed from SIMS at any time by emailing [email protected]. Truro School will honour this request absolutely. Please allow up to 5 working days for such requests to be actioned.
Members of staff at Truro School who are responsible for organising events use this information.
Your information may be shared between Truro School staff in the process of arranging events. For example, your information may be shared with the catering team to help them layout seating plans for meals. Your information may also be shared with the Truro School Finance Department for billing purposes.
The database is compiled on the basis of ‘legitimate interest’ and information stored will be used in a variety of ways:
When former pupil events are being booked, a note of your attendance at events will be stored on record in Truro School’s Alumni Database. Members of staff at Truro School who are responsible for organising alumni events will use your information for planning purposes. Your information may be shared amongst other Truro School staff in the process of arranging events.
Alumni are able to update their contact details and share additional information through selected forms on the Truro School website. This information will be added to the Alumni database, overwriting any existing information that the school already holds on the user.
Alumni are able to partake in our ‘find a friend’ initiative. By completing this contact form, a user consents for Truro School to send their personal information to a former school friend whom they are seeking to reconnect with (the information receiver). It is then up to the information receiver to decide on whether they wish to reconnect with the user.
Participants are able to join the Truro School Connected initiative by completing this contact form. Truro School Connected connects Sixth Form students and Old Truronians with members of the Truro School Community to assist them with careers advice, guidance, work placement opportunities and networking links. A user submits the form with relevant business and careers information that they are willing to share and how they would be willing to help with the initiative.
