Privacy and cookies policy

This privacy policy and cookies policy sets out how Eastern Multi-Academy Trust and its academies use and protect any information that you give when you use this website and when you communicate with the academy.

The academy may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes.

Website privacy and cookies

We collect no personal information about you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide this information to us. Some additional information may also be captured at this point. For purposes of security, we also record other non-identifiable information about your visit to the website.

If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages, or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. We use security software to protect the website from attacks, which collects certain information for analysis purposes. This information does not identify you personally. Specifically, the information we collect is:

• Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and IP address (the number automatically assigned to your computer when you are using the Internet) from which you access our website.
• The Internet browser and operating system you are using, your screen resolution and which version of flash you have installed (where applicable).
• The date and time you access the site

If you complete and submit a form from this site (such as asking a question), we will use the information you provide to supply or improve our service to you or to respond to your request. Your details may be processed and stored on a computer system for this purpose. All processing will be in accord with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and, except for authorised legal investigations, we will not share your details with any other organisations without your permission.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

How we use cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your Internet browser and is stored on your device’s hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic.

We also use cookies on online forms, to ask for a security code to help eliminate spam in our enquiries system.

We use Google Analytics cookies to record information about your visit to the site. None of this information identifies you personally and is used solely to improve the usability of our site.

Please note that during your visits to the academy website you may notice some cookies that are not related to us. When you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, Twitter, YouTube or Facebook, you may be presented with cookies from these websites. The academy does not control the dissemination of these cookies. You should check the third party websites for more information about these.

We use the following services:

• YouTube – to display our videos
• Twitter – to inform you about the latest news and updates at the academy
• WordPress – to display our web site and related content
