Contract Purposes
We have a database of suppliers and third parties and will use the information relating to them in order to fulfil our contracts. This information will include name, address, email address, phone number, bank details and the nature of the supplies offered.
Schools and Teachers

The information consists of names of schools and teachers, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers. We do not keep personal details of school pupils.
