3. What we use them for and on what legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Managing enrolment, the academic relationship, activities and administrative communications | Performance of the educational services contract (art. 6.1.b) |
| Collecting fees by SEPA direct debit | Performance of the contract + consent to the SEPA mandate (art. 6.1.b and 6.1.a) |
| Publishing image/voice/work on the school's channels (web, Instagram, YouTube, magazines/posters) | Explicit consent on Form 2 (art. 6.1.a); minors: parental authorisation + co-consent from age 14 |

Consent for image and communications may be revoked at any time, in writing, at the school office or by email (section 1), attaching an ID copy. Revocation has no retroactive effect.
