Bodmin College strictly follows General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation with all data handling. This page details the data we collect on our website and how we use your information.

All data collection forms on this website are optional to complete. We will make it explicitly clear when data is being collected. We often use Microsoft Forms or TicketSource when collecting data. Examples of data collection forms that may appear on the Bodmin College website at times of the year include (but are not limited to):

• Open Event Reminder Service
• Year 8 Options Form
• School Production Seat Reservations
• Winter Concert Seat Reservations

Personal information captured in our General Data Collection Forms (examples above) is not shared with third parties.

Additionally, we have two forms listed within our Student Reporting pages. This is an area for students to report concerns regarding: Bullying, Harmful Sexual Behaviours, Mental Health and Safeguarding.

For these forms in particular, we cannot always guarantee that personal data may not be passed on to relevant agencies such as The Police or Health Specialists. Each form submission will be handled differently according to what is reported, and we will always follow the latest GDPR legislation in place at the time of each report.

Our full data privacy policy can be found on our Multi-Academy Trust’s website – Cornwall Education Learning Trust (CELT).
