Privacy Policy
Information for you about how we look after personal information about yourself and your child or children. This document sets out the detail about how the personal information provided will be used and looked after and explains your rights in relation to it.
Our commitment is to:
Kumon is the leading supplementary education provider worldwide, and offers Maths and English study programmes for children of all ages and abilities.
Kumon Europe & Africa Limited (Kumon) has 22,000 Study Centres worldwide. The structure works through a system of franchise agreements such that each Study Centre is operated by a separate franchise holder known as an Instructor. The Instructor is responsible for and motivated to provide the Kumon study programme at the highest level possible at his or her Study Centre supported always by Kumon. Kumon supplies each Instructor with the study programmes and material together with such other support as the Instructor requires to run his or her Study Centre. It interacts closely with each Study Centre and often visits them in a continuing process of seeking to refine and improve the effectiveness of the study programmes and the student experience.
To operate effectively the Instructor and Kumon require personal information concerning parents and legal guardians (parents) and the students. We set out in this document what personal information is collected and how it is used.
The term Data Controller is applied to a business which determines how personal information about yourself and your child or children is used.
Each Instructor is known as a Data Controller. His or her details are set out in a schedule to the document. Kumon also requires personal information for similar, but slightly different purposes. As such Kumon is also a Data Controller, but a separate one from the Instructor. The contact details of the individual with overall responsibility for personal information held by Kumon is set out in a schedule to the document.
Information in relation to parents and students will be collected by the Instructor or by his or her assistants on the Instructor’s behalf and/or by Kumon. This might be achieved by providing information verbally, whether face to face or by telephone, completion of paper documents or by electronic means such as through email or interaction with our websites. Please ensure that all personal information is accurately provided as the information which is held is only as accurate as the information provided in the first place.
If any of the personal information provided changes, please notify the Instructor as soon as possible in order that the personal information can be updated.
The Instructor will require the following information about the student:
The Instructor will not seek any further personal information in relation to parents or students without gaining specific authority.
The Instructor will not take or publish photographs of students or publish students’ names without your consent as the parent/legal guardian.
The Instructor will provide the personal information referred to above to Kumon for it to use for the purposes set out below.
The Instructor will not provide personal information for use by anyone else without your specific consent or unless this is necessary for health and safety reasons, to comply with child protection policies and procedures, otherwise in relation to child welfare and child protection, for example in cooperating with local and public authorities to comply with legal requirements and those of regulators, for example Ofsted, or unless it is otherwise provided for in this Privacy Notice.
It is possible that the Instructor will pass personal information to other organisations to assist him or her. This is not for other organisations to use on their behalf but rather to process information on the Instructor’s behalf. This will be for the efficient and effective administration and running of the business and provision of the study programme for example for IT needs including for the purposes of establishing, developing and maintaining relevant databases including the data collection system and customer relationship management, but also for purposes such as book-keeping and accounting, training and printing.
To fulfil his or her contractual obligations and to respond to enquiries:
This relates to the health and safety of a student. For example, if there was a medical emergency the Instructor may need to provide relevant medical information about a student to the emergency services. Similarly, information may be provided to local or public authorities where welfare and child protection issues arise.
When it is the Instructor’s legal duty
The Instructor may in very rare circumstances be required under safeguarding and child protection issues to provide information to local or public authorities including the police.
When legitimate interests apply
It is possible that from time to time the Instructor may wish to communicate with parents concerning other matters which may be of interest to them or where they may know of others who may have an interest. The nature of such contact will be:
If you do not wish to receive communications under this heading please contact the Instructor and let him or her know which type of communications you would not wish to receive.
When you consent
There are certain uses to which the Instructor will use personal information without your specific consent. Where such consent is required it will be sought separately. It is likely to be in areas such as in photographs of the children and using children’s names and/or photographs in publicity material and/or publication of children’s names in relation to results and award ceremonies.
If consent is given it can be withdrawn at any time by providing notification to the Instructor in writing or by email.
Other
Instructors may also use personal information for data management to enable the efficient running of our Study Centres.
Instructors may also use personal information to activate a mobile application (App) for the purposes of registration and communication in relation to the “English as a Foreign Language” (EFL) and “English as a Native Language” (ENL) Kumon programme.
Sometimes early exchanges of information will be with Kumon rather than with the Instructor. This section deals with those and other circumstances.
In such circumstances Kumon is likely to require the following information about the student:
On occasion, Kumon Europe & Africa’s parent company, Kumon Institute of Education Co. Limited (KIE) which is based in Japan may process student data for statistical purposes and to assist it in refining and further developing (i) Instructor and employee training and (ii) the materials and instruction techniques. KIE processes the data securely and in a statistical manner, and no personally identifiable data is retained any longer than 24 months after your child or children have ceased to attend a Study Centre without a legitimate reason to do so. We will ensure that appropriate technical and organisational measures are in place such that this data is shared with KIE in a secure way. Furthermore, international data transfers to KIE will be conducted in accordance with the Standard Contractual Clauses (Data Transfer Agreement) between Kumon Europe & Africa and KIE.
A copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses (Data Transfer Agreement) is available upon request.
Kumon will not provide personal information for use by anyone else without your specific consent or unless this is necessary for health and safety reasons, to comply with child protection policies and procedures, or otherwise in relation to child welfare and child protection, for example in cooperating with local and public authorities to comply with legal requirements and those of regulators, for example Ofsted, or unless it is otherwise provided for in this Privacy Notice.
In the event that Kumon Europe & Arfica outsources certain functions (such as outsourcing certain IT development and maintenance activities to KIE in Japan and Kumon North America Inc. in the US), and where personal data is processed on Kumon’s behalf, any transfers of data outside of the EEA shall be restricted to parties that Kumon has signed Standard Contractual Clauses (Data Transfer Agreements) with.
This is not for the other group companies to use on their behalf but rather to process information on Kumon’s behalf. This will be for the efficient and effective administration and running of the business and provision of the study programme for example for IT needs including for the purposes of establishing, developing and maintaining relevant databases including the data collection system and customer relationship management, but also for purposes such as book-keeping and accounting, printing and training.
The Instructor has day-to-day responsibility for the operation of the Study Centre and interaction with parents and students. However, there will be times when for one reason or another an Instructor is not able to undertake a task when Kumon may step in to aid and in so doing will make use of the personal information. Kumon will also use personal information to seek to refine and improve the effectiveness of the study programme and the student experience.
Kumon may therefore use personal information for the following purposes:
To ensure vital interests:
This relates to the health and safety of a student. For example, if there was a medical emergency Kumon may need to provide relevant medical information about a student to the emergency services. Similarly, information may be provided to local or public authorities where welfare and child protection issues arise.
To comply with Legal Duties
Kumon may in very rare circumstances be required by child welfare and child protection issues to provide information to local or public authorities including the police.
When legitimate interests apply
This falls into two broad categories:
Kumon may need to process some personal information of this nature for measurement and statistical purposes as referred to under the ‘Other’ heading but if you do not wish Kumon to process personal information for the above purposes please contact Kumon using the contact details set out in the Schedule.
The second category:
It is possible that from time to time Kumon may wish to communicate with parents concerning matters which may be of interest to them or where they may know of others who may have an interest. The nature of such contact will be:
If you do not wish Kumon to process personal information for the above purposes please contact Kumon using the contact details set out in the Schedule.
When you consent
There are certain uses to which Kumon will not put personal information without your consent. Where such consent is requested it will be sought separately. It is likely to be in areas such as in photographs of the children and using children’s names and/or photographs in publicity material and/or publication of children’s names in relation to results and award ceremonies and using your children in case studies for training purposes.
If consent is given it can be withdrawn at any time by providing notification to Kumon in writing or by email.
Other
We may also use personal information for measurement and statistical purposes.
The Instructor and Kumon require the personal information set out in this privacy notice in order to ensure that the Kumon programme can be safely and effectively delivered to your children and continually developed and improved for the benefit of your children. Without this information it will not be possible to deliver the services for the benefit of your children or at least not as well as we would like. We have though set out above some purposes for which either the Instructor or Kumon wish to use personal information under the heading of “Legitimate interests”. If you do have an objection to any personal information being used under this heading you may object to either the Instructor, Kumon or both. If either the Instructor or Kumon wish to gather personal information for which consent is required, they will obtain that specific consent before gathering that information and you have the right not to provide such information.
The Instructor and Kumon will only retain personal information:
Access – You have a right to request copies of all personal data Kumon holds about you or your child/children. In the event you make a DSAR, Kumon will respond to you within one month of receipt of the request. Kumon may extend this period for a further two months, where necessary. Kumon shall notify you of any such extension. Where we receive your request in electronic form, your data shall be provided in electronic form (where possible), unless otherwise requested.
Correction – it is important that you keep the Instructor up to date with any changes to the personal information provided. Subject to that you have the right to ask the Instructor or Kumon, as appropriate, to correct or complete any inaccurate or incomplete data held about you or your children. It is possible that evidence will be required of the new information provided.
Erasure – you are entitled to ask either the Instructor or Kumon to delete or remove personal information held where there is no good reason for the Instructor or Kumon to continue to hold it. It may not always be possible to comply with your request due to ongoing regulatory or legal obligations in relation to the personal information. However, where this is the case you will be informed and be told of the reasons why it is not possible to comply with the request.
Object to processing – you may object to either the Instructor or Kumon processing personal information. There are some circumstances in which it will not be possible to comply with your request, for example if it is necessary to process the information in connection with obligations which the Instructor or Kumon (as appropriate) have and which have been explained to you in this document. If you object to either the Instructor or Kumon processing information which has been processed under the legitimate interest head, we will stop processing it.
Restriction of processing – you may ask the Instructor or Kumon to suspend processing of personal information in the following situations:
Request the transfer of information – sometimes rights apply to request a transfer of personal information held to other organisations. This right only applies to personal information that is processed by automated means and is held because it was necessary for the performance of the contract with you or personal information which is processed based on consent.
The Instructor and Kumon have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent the personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. Access to personal information is limited to those employees and contractors who have a business need to know the personal information and will only be processed upon instructions from either the Instructor or Kumon (as appropriate) and procedures had been put in place to deal with any suspected breach of the requirements under the GDPRs and you and/or the Regulator referred to below will be notified of any potentially significant breach.
It is hoped that you will not have cause to complain. If you do complaints relating to the Instructor should be referred to the Instructor where possible and any complaints in relation to Kumon should be referred to the person named in the Schedule where possible. If it is not possible or appropriate to refer a complaint to the Instructor or Kumon it may be referred to the Regulator.

- You have objected to the use of the data by the Instructor or Kumon but the Instructor or Kumon (as appropriate) need time to determine whether they have overriding legitimate grounds to process it.
Request the transfer of information – sometimes rights apply to request a transfer of personal information held to other organisations. This right only applies to personal information that is processed by automated means and is held because it was necessary for the performance of the contract with you or personal information which is processed based on consent.
15. Keeping personal information safe
The Instructor and Kumon have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent the personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.
