Data Protection

 

ABA is committed to processing all personal data transparently, securely, in accordance with Oman Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). We collect necessary data from students, parents, and staff to support learning, track progress, and manage school operations. We ensure our staff receive mandatory data protection training and adhere to these standards.

Data is only shared with third parties when necessary for school operations or legally required. Any third-party processors must maintain strict confidentiality and robust security measures. Additionally, ABA may disclose information to external authorities when mandated by law or to protect the best interests of our school community.

·Access Requests: Students and staff can request access to their personal data by submitting a Data Subjects Request Form, which is processed as per the Oman PDPL.

·Data Retention & Disposal: Personal data is retained only as long as necessary. All records will be retained, and redundant data is securely destroyed at the end of its retention period in accordance with the policy.

·Data Breaches: Any breach must be reported immediately to the Data Protection Officer (Incident Notification Form). If a breach poses a risk to individuals, ABA will notify the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT) within 72 hours. Affected individuals will be notified directly if the risk to their rights is high.
