General Data Protection Regulation Policy Statement 

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and replaces the previous Data Protection 

Directives that were in place. It was approved by the EU Parliament in 2016 and comes into effect on 25th May 2018. 

GDPR states that personal data should be ‘processed fairly & lawfully’ and ‘collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes’ and that individuals data is not processed without their knowledge and are only processed with their ‘explicit’ consent. GDPR covers personal data relating to individuals. Rise Dance Academy is committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals with respect to the processing of children's, parents, visitors and staff personal data. 

The Data Protection Act gives individuals the right to know what information is held about them. It provides a framework to ensure that personal information is handled properly. 

GDPR includes 7 rights for individuals 

1) The right to be informed
