Privacy Policy

We ask families for very little, we use it for one thing, and we do not share it. This page says exactly what we collect, why, where it goes and how to get it deleted.

The short version

We collect what we need to run a free workshop safely and to tell you when the next one is. We do not sell your information, we do not share it with other organizations, and we do not use it for advertising. If you want it deleted, email us and we delete it.

What we collect, and why

Program registration
The student’s first name, age, school grade, and optionally their school; the parent or guardian’s name, email address and phone number; the program you are interested in; and anything you choose to write in the optional message box.

Why: to confirm a place, to check the student is in the age range a program is designed for, to send you the consent and waiver, and to reach a parent on the day if we need to.
Newsletter
A first name and an email address.

Why: to tell you when program dates are announced. Nothing else. You can unsubscribe from any email we send, and the link is in every one.
Contact and volunteer forms
Your name, email, phone if you give it, and your message.

Why: to reply to you.
Donations
Donations are processed by Stripe on Stripe’s own secure pages. Card details are never entered on this website and we never see or store them. We receive your name, email address and the amount, so that we can send an acknowledgement letter for your tax records.

Children’s information

Registration is completed by a parent or guardian, not by a student. We ask for the minimum a safe program requires and nothing more — we do not ask for a date of birth, an address, a medical history or a student’s own contact details through this website.

A student’s information is used only to deliver the program they are registered for and to keep them safe while they are with us. It is never used for fundraising, marketing or publicity, and it is never given to anyone outside the Foundation.

Medical and emergency information is collected separately, on the signed consent and waiver, and is held only for the duration of the session it relates to.

Who else handles your information

We are a small organization and we use a few outside services to make the website work. Each one sees only what it needs to:

Web3Forms
Delivers our form submissions to [email protected]. Submissions are stored on their servers, encrypted, and automatically deleted after 30 days.
Kit
Holds our newsletter list — first name and email only — and sends the emails. Your record is removed when you unsubscribe.
Stripe
Processes donations and holds the payment record, as any payment processor must for its own legal and accounting obligations.
Our web host
Keeps standard server logs, which include visitors’ IP addresses, as every website host does.

We do not sell your information, rent it, trade it, or share it with other charities or any commercial organization.

Photographs and video

We photograph and film our workshops, and we publish those images on this website, in printed materials and on social media. No student is photographed without a signed parental consent, which forms part of the waiver you sign before a session.

We never publish a student’s full name, school or any detail that would let a stranger identify or locate them alongside their photograph. If you change your mind, write to us and we will remove the images we control.

How long we keep things

Registration and program records are kept while a student is taking part and for as long afterwards as we need them for our own reporting to funders and regulators — then they are deleted. Newsletter records are kept until you unsubscribe. Donation records are kept as long as tax law requires. Records relating to a child safety concern are kept permanently and securely, as our Child Abuse Prevention Policy requires.

Your choices

Write to [email protected] and you can ask us to:

  • Tell you what information we hold about you or your child
  • Correct anything that is wrong
  • Delete it
  • Stop emailing you
  • Remove a photograph

We will respond within 30 days. You do not need to give a reason, and asking will never affect your child’s place in a program.

Cookies

This website uses only the cookies WordPress needs to function. We do not run advertising trackers and we do not sell audience data.

Changes, and how to reach us

If we change this policy we will replace this page and the new version applies from the day it is posted. Questions about anything on it can go to a person, not a form:
