Data Protection & Freedom of Information

Data Protection

Ark is the ‘data controller’ for the purposes of data protection law.

Under data protection law, individuals have a right to be informed about how the Trust and its schools use any personal data that we hold about them.

Subject Access Request

You have the right under Data Protection legislation to ask for a copy of any information held about you by our Trust, and this is called a Subject Access Request (SAR). If you would like to submit a Subject Access Request, please email dataprotection@arkonline.org.

Freedom of Information (FOI) Request

A Freedom of Information (FOI) request gives you access to data held by or about an organisation. If you would like to submit a Freedom of Information Request, please email foi@arkonline.org. Please note that submitting a FOI request will not give you access to your own personal data or that of anyone else.
