| Privacy
Statement |
| This policy covers the treatment of personal
data that Comberton Village College may collect when you visit
our website, e-mail us, or when you complete and submit an online
form on our web site. |
| Automated Collection of Personal Information: |
| As with most other web sites, when you access
these web pages, certain information will automatically be recorded
by our hosting service on our behalf. This information may include
your IP address, browser type, time and date of access, web
pages viewed and information relating to the site you last visited.
Such information is not routinely accessed by the school. The
information recorded is automatically processed for general
analysis of web site usage and preparation of non-specific statistical
reports (which are only seen by authorised employees of the
school and accessible only by those who have a legitimate need
to know). Comberton Village College consider personal data from
automated collection systems to be confidential and any information
relating to individuals will not be published, distributed or
passed to third parties. However, in the event of a breach of
security, Comberton Village College reserve the right to make
further enquiries and recorded information may be accessed to
aid detection. |
| Collection of Personal Information: |
|
When completing online forms, or sending e-mail via the site,
you may be asked for personal information such as your name,
e-mail and IP address in order for the school to fulfil a
specific request for information or services. It is only when
you supply this type of information that you can be personally
identified.
|
| Comberton Village College holds and processes
personal data in accordance with all current legislation relating
to data protection. Comberton Village College consider personal
data to be confidential and any information relating to individuals
will not be published, distributed or passed to third parties.
The school will not use submitted data for any purpose other
than the specific purpose for which it was supplied. |
| (See also the School Policy on Data
Protection.) |
| This statement,
and therefore the ways in which your data may be processed,
may be changed from time to time. Any changes will be notified
via this web page. If you have any queries relating to the schools
privacy statement then please e-mail the CVC
Website. If you feel dissatisfied with the response given
then please contact the school management team using e-mail
theoffice@comberton.cambs.sch.uk.

| All rights for original resources held on this
website are reserved by Comberton Village College on behalf
of the authors. All documents and graphics remain the “intellectual
property” of their authors and/or designers. No part of the
website may be reproduced or distributed in any form, other
than for the private purposes of users or in accordance with
the terms of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, without

| The copyright of all contributions to this
website remain with Comberton Village College, except where
expressly indicated as belonging to others. Comberton Village
College holds exclusive rights in respect of electronic publication
and dissemination. No part of this website may be posted or
in any way mirrored on any other part of the internet without
permission from Comberton Village College. Subject to the above,
permission is granted to download items for off-line reading
and use subject to the following conditions: |
Print outs should not be sold for profit purposes. |
|
Permission is granted to download articles, store them electronically
on disk, and make multiple copies for educational or personal
purposes, subject to the following condition. |
|
No charge should be made for access to users with the educational
establishment. Comberton Village College's name, or the name
of an individual author, should remain attached to any copies.
Please contact Comberton Village College, if necessary, for
clarification of these terms or if you wish to use the material
outside the permissions given above. |
|
| Photographs
and Personal Security |
| Some parts of the CVC Website can be accessed
by anyone on the Internet. Photographs that include pupils add
a liveliness and interest to a website that is difficult to
achieve in any other way. Nevertheless the personal security
of pupils and staff must come first. Sadly, although common
in newspapers, the publishing of pupils' names with large photographs
of pupils is not acceptable. Web images can be downloaded and
edited in an unpleasant or embarrassing way. |
|
"Including images of pupils on
the school website can be motivating for the pupils involved
and provide a good opportunity to promote the work of the
school. It is important to balance the potential risks of
including images of pupils on the website against the design
principles of creating colourful, attractive and relevant
pages, as the school, heads and governors would do with any
publication."
- Superhighway Safety - safe use of the internet
|
|
The Comberton Village College website therefore observes
the following guidelines when using photographs of pupils:
|
|
Written authority from parents or guardians must be obtained
before a recognisable photograph of a pupil is published on
the school website.
Website photographs will be checked to ensure suitable content
appropriate for a school website.
Website photographs that include pupils will be published
only as smaller images (typically a maximum of 250px along
the greater length).
Website photographs that include pupils will be published
with the minimum possible resolution (photographs appear sharp
on screen but 'blur' if copied and enlarged).
The school, at its discretion, may choose to 'blur' an individual
face in a website photograph.
Pupils in photographs will not be identified by either first
name(s) or surname.
A parent or guardian may request the removal of a photograph
from the website which they believe does not comply with the
above guidelines. Please e-mail website@comberton.cambs.sch.uk
with details.
|
| The Comberton Village College website observes
the following guidelines regarding personal security protection: |
|
The website will never publish any personal or contact information
relating to school pupils. This will include phone or mobile
numbers, school or private e-mail addresses and home location
and/or address details.
The website will never publish any personal or contact information
relating to members of CVC staff. This includes private phone
or mobile numbers, private e-mail addresses and home location
and/or address details. Where a phone number or e-mail address
is provided, this will always be located on the school network.
Where a school contact name or e-mail information point is
provided, this will always be to a teacher or other adult
member of the college staff.
E-mail addresses given on the school website will be routinely
protected from automated 'harvesting' by external computers.
Where contact details are provided for (say) an external community
organisation or private individual not part of Comberton Village
College, any inclusion on the school website will require
specific permission from the 'owner'. Such information may
include a domestic phone number, personal e-mail address or
home contact address. Please note that the college does not
accept any responsibility if the published contact details
are misused in any way.
Contact details and links to websites as advertised for and
by public organisations or companies are held to be in the
public domain and may be included on the school website without
specific permission or prior notification.
|

If you have any queries relating to the schools policy on
website photographs and personal security protection then
please e-mail the CVC
Website. If you feel dissatisfied with the response given
then please contact the school management team using e-mail
