Hi Stacie, good to 'see' you here

Just don't keep personal details of parents/children on your computer and you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

It's probably just a company trying to scare you into parting with your money!! ......... DON'T!!

You don't have to pay anything unless as has already been said you keep info in specific places. if I remember rightly a couple of years this was doing the rounds at £95 and you must pay this or get into trouble.

The only thing I have Data protection wise is a permission slip signed to say parents are aware that there phone numbers are kept with my mum and hubby in case of an emergency so they can be contacted in a dire emergency (covers me then)
