Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency Principle

For schools, this principle means:

That they must be clear, open and honest about how they are processing personal data (transparency);

That individuals will expect the school to be processing their personal data in the way they do, and that it will not lead to unjustified adverse effects (fairness); and

That the school has a reason (which is often prescribed in law) that allows them to process the personal data e.g. they have the individual’s consent (lawfulness)
