Your Personal Data: What SBDN Needs

1. BRIGID’S DAY NURSERY is what is known as the ‘Controller’ of the personal data you provide to it. We take your privacy seriously and will only use personal information about you and your child to provide the services you have requested from us and administer your account.
   We collect a variety of personal data to be able to deliver the service requested by you. Most of this data is captured on an enrolment form or on the forms required to obtain government funded fees or fee subsidisation (where applicable).

The enrolment form includes your name, address, details of your child including date of birth plus further detail on any specific medical and other relevant health-care details, and history necessary to allow us to ensure the welfare and safety of your child. Because of the sensitive nature of much this information, you will be asked to confirm your consent for us to collect and hold the information before it does so.
In addition to this, SBDN will, at your request and again with your consent, gather additional information on your nationality, religion, and ethnic origin, if you believe this to be an important factor in providing the appropriate care and support for your child.

The enrolment form also collects the contact details and phone numbers of your child’s emergency contacts and authorised collectors. You are required to ensure these persons agree to their information being stored and you will be asked to confirm this on the enrolment form.

The Funding Forms may collect personal data including your PPS number and your social welfare status. This is only collected to allow us process funding applications on your behalf to allow you access subsidies or free care and education for your child (where eligible and applicable).

Why SBDN Needs Data/Purpose of the Processing

SBDN needs your basic personal data to provide you with its services in line with this overall contract. SDBN will not collect any personal data from you it does not need to provide and oversee this service to you.

What SBDN Does with Data/Disclosure

All the personal data is processed by management or by staff designated by Management. To deliver our services effectively, we may need to exchange your details with:

• The relevant funding bodies such as DCYA, Pobal, and the Childcare Committees,
• Regulators such as TUSLA or the Revenue Commissioners,
• Inspectors (TUSLA, Department of Education and Science and Health & Safety Authority), or
• External personnel such as HR contractors, accountants and professional advisors.

SBDN has a Data Protection Policy in place to oversee the effective and secure processing of your personal data.
