Our Role Under UK GDPR
Elemental acts as a Data Processor or a Data Controller depending on your account type and the data being processed, and which role applies determines which document governs our handling of the data.
Processor — Under a Data Processing Agreement
Where a school enters into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with us, the school is the Data Controller for its Student Data and Elemental is the Data Processor under UK GDPR Article 28. This applies to all schools using our Google and Microsoft integrations, but can be opted in to by schools using Elemental email and password accounts.
Governed by the Data Processing AgreementController — Direct Sign-Ups and Billing
Where individuals sign up directly, such as parents, tutors and instrumental teachers, and for the account, billing and support-related data of whoever sets up an account, Elemental is the Data Controller under UK GDPR Article 24. This also applies to schools using Elemental email and password accounts without opting in to the Data Processing Agreement (DPA).
Governed by the Privacy PolicyIf you are not sure which applies to your account, please contact privacy@elementalmusic.app.
