The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive law that strengthens data protection in the European Union (EU) and beyond. It applies to all organisations that collect, handle, or process personal data of EU residents.

Educational institutions, including schools and universities, are considered data controllers under the GDPR. This means that they have a responsibility to ensure that they meet the requirements of the regulation, which includes:

• Using our GDPR compliant document shredding for schools and universities you are able to ensure complete data security. This will mean you can protect the personal data of staff and students from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
• Obtaining the necessary consent from individuals before collecting their personal data. Schools and universities must be transparent about how they collect and use personal data, and they must obtain explicit consent from individuals for certain types of processing.
• Providing individuals with access to their personal data and the opportunity to rectify it. Schools and universities must have procedures in place to allow individuals to access their personal data and to request that it be corrected or deleted.
• Notifying individuals of data breaches. Schools and universities must notify individuals of data breaches that are likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.
