What Edtesa Reporting can be used for and how it works

Edtesa Reporting is an open route made available to you by your organisation (the Organisation) and managed by Edtesa Limited (Edtesa).

Your message will be relayed to a nominated email account at the Organisation. If you give your name this will show to the Organisation.

Each message string will be linked by a unique reference so that you can check responses. If you have entered your email address into Edtesa Reporting you will be notified about responses.

You will see the first name of the person at the Organisation responding to you where replies are sent.

You are able to use Edtesa Reporting as the Organisation has designated you as being within the Organisation Community.

The Organisation is responsible for providing the Organisation Community with information about:

  • What they would like Edtesa Reporting to be used to report;
  • How the Organisation processes personal data provided to them in a message once they have saved it off the Edtesa Reporting system;
  • Data protection rights related to use of Edtesa Reporting including how long messages processed by them are kept;
  • How the Organisation acts upon the information provided in a message (this may relate to information about the person sending the message or another individual identified in the message) – such as in line with Organisation policies on anti-social behaviour, safeguarding, bullying, cyber bullying and any other use of social media.

The Organisation is responsible for any action that it takes (including no action) on the information provided in a message.

Is my message really anonymous?

  1. You have not included your name in the contact box;
  2. You do not give your details in the body of a message.

The Organisation does not have access to an email address or other contact details (Contact Data) unless these are provided to the Organisation by you in the body of the message.
