This short video explains how Starlight has been designed to meet UK GDPR and safeguarding requirements. It clarifies the school’s role as Data Controller, STAR21’s role as Data Processor, the lawful basis for lesson audio recording, and how opt-out, retention, deletion, and safeguarding workflows operate in practice. It is intended to support schools completing a DPIA and to provide reassurance about transparency, security, and trust.
