4. Our Lawful Bases for Using Personal Information

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information. Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

• Contract or steps before entering into a contract: to arrange and provide lessons, workshops or other services you request.

• Legitimate interests: to respond to general enquiries, manage our business, maintain records and improve our services, where these interests do not override your rights.

• Consent: where we rely on your permission, for example for certain promotional photographs or non-essential cookies.

• Legal obligation: where we need to retain or disclose information to comply with applicable laws.

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Where we need special-category information, such as certain health information, we will identify and rely on an additional lawful condition where required.

5. Children's Information and Photographs

We may process children's information when parents or guardians enquire about, book or arrange our educational services.

We ask parents or guardians to provide information on behalf of younger children where appropriate. We take particular care to handle children's information respectfully and only use it for relevant purposes.

Photographs or videos of children will not be used for public-facing promotional purposes unless the necessary permission has been obtained. We will explain the intended use and respect any applicable restrictions or withdrawal of permission.

Please contact us if you have questions about how we handle a child's information or wish to discuss a photograph or video.

6. Who We Share Information With

We may share personal information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate our business, such as:

• Website hosting and website functionality providers.

• Business email, communication and booking providers.

• Payment providers, where applicable.

• Accountants or professional advisers, where necessary.

• Relevant partner organisations where information needs to be shared to arrange or deliver an agreed activity.

We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect someone's safety.

We do not permit service providers to use personal information for their own unrelated purposes. Where required, we take appropriate steps to ensure that information is handled securely and lawfully.

7. International Transfers

Some service providers may store or process personal information outside the United Kingdom. If this occurs, we will take the steps required by applicable data protection law to ensure that any international transfer is appropriately protected.

8. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, taking account of our legal, accounting and business obligations.

For example:

• Enquiry records are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond and manage follow-up.

• Lesson, booking and payment records are retained for the period necessary to administer our services and meet applicable legal requirements.

• Photographs and videos used for promotional purposes are retained while there is a valid purpose and appropriate permission, subject to any applicable withdrawal or removal request.

• Information that is no longer required is securely deleted or anonymised.

The actual retention period depends on the type of information and why it is held.

9. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
