Privacy Statement
Creagh National School, Ballinasloe is committed to preserving the privacy of all visitors to www.creaghnsonline.com and www.creaghns.com (“our website”). This privacy statement relates to our practices in connection with our website. Creagh National School, respects your right to privacy. We will not collect personal information/personal data about you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide that information using the “contact us” form. By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of your information under the terms of this privacy statement which is in accordance with the Data Protection Acts, 1988-2018, the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 and EU GDPR 2018. Please read the following privacy statement to understand how we use and protect the information that you choose to provide to us.
Personal information which we collect from you
When you visit our website you may wish to provide certain information about yourself, such as when you complete our “Contact Us” form. Creagh National School, does not collect any personal data about you on this website, apart from the information which you volunteer to send us in the “Contact Us” form. We also accept online applications for Admissions/Enrolments and separate consent must be given to us when you complete these applications. We request explicit consent for any special category data which we collect from you in relation to the Dept of Education and Skills Primary Online Database.
Non-Personal information which we collect
Where you visit our website, certain non-personal data is available to us through our internet service provider. This non-personal data is collected on a statistical, aggregate, non-individual basis. This information may include the IP address from which you access our website, the type of browser used to access our website (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.), the type of operating system used to access our website (Windows, Macintosh, etc.), the “top-level” domain name used (ie, .com, .org, etc.), the date and time of your visit to our website and the number of pages you visited on our website.
Use of your information and disclosure to 3rd parties.
Any information which you provide using the “Contact Us” form is not made available to any third parties and is only used by Creagh National School in line with the purposes for which you provided it (e.g. to contact you and answer any queries which you have raised in the “Contact Us” form or to address any other feedback which you send us in the “Contact Us” form) or for any reasonably incidental purpose.
The Department has consulted with the Data Protection Commissioner in relation to the collection of individual pupil information for the Primary Online Database. Religion and ethnic and cultural background are special category data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Mother tongue is personal category data requiring consent for collection. While these questions are optional, written consent is sought by the student’s school to record this information and for the school to forward this information to the Department.
The information would be very useful to the Department for statistical and research purposes. Aggregated information on Ethnic/Cultural background will be used to track the progress of these groups, and to compare their progress with other groups, thereby identifying gaps in the system and assisting in the development and implementation of appropriate policies and interventions. Aggregated information on religion will be used for statistical purposes only. Mother tongue is collected to identify, monitor and evaluate the need for English as an additional language (EAL) support. Parents/guardians have the option to identify their children’s religion, ethnic background or if mother tongue is English or Irish and to consent for this information to be transferred to the Department of Education and Skills.
We do not disclose, sell or distribute any personal information which you send to us to any third parties except in relation to the Dept of Education and Skills regarding our Admissions form (see above). We may pass aggregate information on the usage of our site to third parties, but this will not include information that can be used to identify you. Your personal data may also be anonymised and used for statistical purposes. Unless required to do so by law, we will not otherwise share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us without your consent.
