2. What personal data do we collect

​

We may collect and process the following types of personal data:

​

• Name

• Professional role and organisation (where voluntarily provided)

• Email address

• Information you provide when contacting us, registering interest, or participating in professional engagement activities

• Website usage data (e.g. pages visited, anonymised analytics)

 

We do not collect sensitive personal data (special category data) unless explicitly provided by you and only where necessary for a clearly stated purpose.

​

​

​3. How we use your data

 

Your personal data is used only for the following purposes:

​

4. Professional engagement and research boundaries

​

Teacher Connect organises professional engagement activities, including seminars and facilitated discussions, intended to support reflective practice and curriculum dialogue.

​

• Participation in these activities does not constitute participation in academic research by default.

• No identifiable personal data from professional engagement sessions is used for research purposes without explicit informed consent.

• Teacher Connect does not record or analyse discussions for research unless participants have been clearly informed and have provided consent in advance.

 

This distinction is maintained to ensure ethical clarity and professional trust.

 

 

 

5. Lawful basis for processing

​

We process personal data under the following lawful bases:

​

• Consent – where you have explicitly opted in (e.g. signing up for updates or registering interest)

• Legitimate interests – where processing is necessary to support professional engagement activities you have chosen to participate in

• Legal obligation – where required for accounting, safeguarding, or regulatory compliance

 

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.

 

 

6. Data storage and security

 

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including:

​

• Secure hosting platforms

• Password-protected access where appropriate

• Limited access to data on a need-to-know basis

 

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or to meet legal requirements.

 

​

7. Sharing your data

 

We do not share your personal data with third parties except where:

​

• Required by law

• Necessary to deliver a service you have requested (e.g. secure payment processing)

• Explicit consent has been given

 

We do not permit third parties to use your data for their own marketing purposes.
