Hi Azhar
You should inform the emergency contact that you hold their data and why, with an option to get it removed. We think it's worth doing and will be doing this.
We've had a few complaints in the past where we've contacted emergency contacts to find these people were not happy at all to have had their data provided by the student.
Cheers
Suzy

Subject: [data-protection] Student Emergency Contact Details
Hi All,
Your thoughts/comments on this one please.
As part of our enrolment process we collect students’ parent/carer/guardian contact details (name, address, telephone number, email address) from the student. This information is for emergency contact purposes as well as keeping the parent/carer/guardian informed of the student’s progression, marks, attendance etc. For the latter purpose we give students the right to withdraw their consent to allow us to keep their parent/carer/guardian informed of their progression (our students are typically over the age of 16).
In this scenario, where we have collected the information from the student, would it be prudent/required for us to let the parent/carer/guardian know that we have their personal data (and therefore point to our privacy notice)? Or do we inform the student how we intend to use the data, and therefore assume (I know, assumption where students concerned doesn’t bode well!) that the student has told their parent/carer/guardian? For the emergency contact purposes, could we argue that we have legitimate interest to store this information without consent?
Thanks
Azhar
