Why our use of your personal data is lawful

In order for our use of your personal data to be lawful in relation to the delivery of the Maths Hub Programme, we need to meet one (or more) conditions in the data protection legislation. For the purpose of the Maths Hubs and Teaching for Mastery programmes, processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, as defined in Article 6 (1)(e) of the GDPR.

Who we will make your personal data available to

We sometimes need to make personal data (Name, TRN and Work Email) available to other organisations in relation to the delivery of the Maths Hub Programme.

Where we need to share your personal data with others, we ensure that this data sharing complies with data protection legislation. For the purpose of the Maths Hubs programme:

  • the NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics), with whom the DfE holds a contract to coordinate and manage the Maths Hubs programme, is a data processor;
  • Maths Hubs, with whom the DfE holds individual grants with each Maths Hub Lead School to carry out activities aligned with the aims of the Maths Hubs programme, are data processors.

As such, personal data collected by Maths Hubs that is relevant to the successful coordination and delivery of the Maths Hubs programme will be shared with the DfE, the NCETM, and other Maths Hub Lead Schools. Such data may also be shared with an independent evaluator of the Maths Hubs programme and Teaching for Mastery programme.

The DfE reserves the right to share your personal data with new Lead Schools where additional Maths Hubs are appointed or where a Lead School is de-designated and Lead School status is transferred. The DfE also reserves the right to share your personal data with any organisation or consortium that holds a future contract with the DfE to coordinate and manage the Maths Hubs programme.

West Yorkshire Maths Hub, as Data Processor on behalf of the Department for Education does not transfer or store data outside of the UK or European Economic Area (EEA). Data may be processed outside of the UK/EEA via our sub-processors where you have given consent to do so.

How long we will keep your personal data

The DfE will only keep your personal data for the lifetime of the Maths Hubs programme and, where relevant, Teaching for Mastery programme plus 6 months, after which point it will be securely destroyed. Please note that, under Data Protection legislation, and in compliance with the relevant data processing conditions, personal data can be kept for longer periods of time when processed purely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, and statistical purposes.

Where an individual has given their consent to share their data for the purposes of receiving the Newsletter or organising Workgroups via the Sub-Processors then West Yorkshire Maths Hub will delete their data for which we are the controller upon written request and within 10 working days. Otherwise it will be deleted after 3 years.
