The precise information collected depends on the technologies and services implemented on our website.
We use personal data for legitimate and necessary business purposes, including:
Under the GDPR, Schools & Agents relies on one or more lawful bases for processing personal data, depending on the circumstances.
We may process personal data where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.
For example, this may apply when you purchase a Schools & Agents membership or marketing service.
We may process personal data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
For example, this may include accounting, taxation, regulatory or legal requirements.
We may process personal data where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided that those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Our legitimate interests may include:
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the impact of the processing on individuals and apply appropriate safeguards.
Where required by law, we will rely on your consent to process personal data.
For example, we may request consent before sending certain electronic marketing communications or placing certain non-essential cookies on your device.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Schools & Agents may send newsletters, industry news, member updates, event information, marketing communications and other relevant information to subscribers and professional contacts.
Where prior consent is legally required for electronic direct marketing, Schools & Agents will obtain that consent before sending the relevant communications.
Every marketing email will provide an appropriate way to unsubscribe or otherwise manage marketing preferences.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.
Malta's data protection regulator confirms that electronic direct marketing is subject to both the GDPR and Malta's specific electronic communications rules.
Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily result in the deletion of all personal data. We may retain certain information where there is another lawful reason to do so, such as fulfilling a contractual, legal or accounting obligation.
Schools & Agents operates an education agent network and directory.
Where an education agent voluntarily provides information for publication in the Schools & Agents directory, certain information may be made publicly available.
This may include:
We will not publish information that was provided to us as confidential unless we have a lawful basis and appropriate authorisation to do so.
If you believe that information appearing in an agent profile is inaccurate, outdated or should no longer be publicly displayed, you may contact us using the details provided in this Privacy Policy.
Schools & Agents publishes content supplied by members and other organisations.
This may include:
Where individuals appear in photographs, videos, interviews or other published material, Schools & Agents expects the organisation supplying the material to have the necessary permissions and lawful basis for providing that material to us.
Where appropriate, we may request confirmation that the relevant permissions have been obtained.
We may receive personal data from third parties, including:
Where required by the GDPR, we will provide appropriate information about the processing of personal data obtained from sources other than the individual concerned.
Schools & Agents operates social media profiles and may interact with users through platforms including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn.
When you interact with our social media pages, the relevant social media platform may collect and process personal data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
Schools & Agents may receive information about interactions with our social media content, depending on the platform and the settings of the relevant service.
We do not control how independent social media platforms process personal data on their own systems.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies and settings of the social media platforms you use.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies may be used for purposes including:

These providers may process personal data on our behalf where necessary to provide their services.
Where a third party acts as a processor of personal data for Schools & Agents, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the processing is governed by appropriate contractual and data protection safeguards, as required by the GDPR.
Article 28 of the GDPR requires controllers to use processors providing sufficient guarantees and requires processing by processors to be governed by an appropriate contract or legal act.
Where you purchase a membership or service from Schools & Agents, payment information may be processed by our payment service provider.
Schools & Agents does not intend to store full payment card details unless this is specifically necessary and lawfully permitted.
Payment providers may process payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies and security requirements.
Because Schools & Agents operates internationally and uses certain global technology and service providers, personal data may sometimes be processed outside Malta or the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area, Schools & Agents will ensure that an appropriate legal mechanism and safeguards are in place as required by Chapter V of the GDPR.
These safeguards may include an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism recognised under applicable data protection law.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
The appropriate retention period depends on the type of information and why we hold it.
For example:
We periodically review the information we hold and securely delete or anonymise information that is no longer required.
Schools & Agents takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.
Security measures may include:
No method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If Schools & Agents becomes aware of a personal data breach, we will assess the breach and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Where legally required, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals within the applicable statutory timeframes.

You may request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, where applicable, request access to that information.

You have an absolute right to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
In certain circumstances, you may request to receive personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or request that it be transferred to another controller.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
Where applicable, you may have rights concerning decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Schools & Agents does not intend to make decisions about individuals based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects unless a lawful basis exists and the applicable GDPR requirements are satisfied.
