How embedded content behaves

Embedded content from another website behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited that other website directly.

Data that other websites may collect

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with their embedded content.

This may include tracking your interaction when you have an account with that website and are logged in to it.

How analytics are used

Website activity may be reviewed to understand usage and support improvements to how the website operates.

Analytics and targeted advertising

Analytics data may be shared with third parties such as search engines. Where users allow targeted advertising in their browser preferences, personal data—including location and usage—may be shared for advertising purposes.

Partner organisations and required disclosures

We may share information with partner organisations with which we are directly working to offer a specific service.

We will not sell or share your details with third parties unless we are legally obliged to share data due to a criminal investigation or safeguarding concerns.

Registered-user profiles

For users who register on the website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile.

• Users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time.
• Users cannot change their username.
• Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Order-record retention

All orders are held live or archived for seven years for accounting purposes.

Exporting or erasing your data

If you have an account on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you have provided to us.

You can also request that we erase personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Backups and continuity

All data on the site is regularly backed up, and continuity procedures are in place to ensure minimum disruption to service should a website error occur.

Data-controller registration and staff procedures

UK Virtual School is registered as a data controller with the ICO. We have data-protection procedures in place that all staff are expected to follow, including clear procedures for reporting any breach of data protection.

Recording and passing on concerns

In line with UK safeguarding law, where a child discloses anything to us that indicates they may be at risk of physical or mental harm, we have a duty of care to record and pass on those concerns.

In these circumstances, personal details linked to that account may be disclosed to relevant authorities.
