DATA PRIVACY POLICY
Bowen Education (we, our, us) was formed in 2020 and is located in Manchester.

As an organisation, we undertake to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/6791 and all other relevant legislation.
All members and prospective members of the Bowen Education community should be aware of the data privacy policy set out below.
Data collected by Bowen Education
In order to be able to offer information relating to classes and social events to our community and to provide them with information on the progress of their child, Bowen Education needs to collect and retain information provided in the Welcome Form and the Sunday School enrolment form respectively. Such information, hereafter called the Community data, will include but is not limited to, name, child’s name and date of birth, address, telephone number(s), and email address.
When collating the information provided via the various forms (and in particular the Sunday School enrolment form), Bowen Education may also collect personal data such as dietary requirements and emergency contact details and, where appropriate, special category personal data relating to health issues.
Our legal ground for processing personal data for the purposes of communicating with our wide membership is Bowen Education’s legitimate interest in providing information relating to the classes and activities of the school.
When collecting data linked to the payment of fees, we store the related personal data, including addresses in order to be able to provide the relevant tax receipts. Our legal ground for processing any financial data is consent.
Our legal ground for processing any health-related personal data for participants at our classes and social activities is consent.
