Privacy Policy

MAY 2018

Introduction

This policy sets out the different areas where user privacy is concerned and outlines the obligations & requirements of the users, the website and website owners. Furthermore, the way this company processes, stores and protects user data and information will also be detailed within this policy.

The Website

This website and its owners take a proactive approach to user privacy and ensure the necessary steps are taken to protect the privacy of its users throughout their visiting experience. This website complies with all UK national laws and requirements for user privacy.

Personal Information

Whilst using our website or attending events, you may be required to provide personal information (name, address, email, account details, etc.). We will use this information to process payment and for health and safety reasons during the event. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, as adopted into law of the United Kingdom in the Data Protection Act 2018. Consent will be obtained to include your data onto the database, which will allow your data to be transferred from event to event. You have the right at any time to request a copy of the personal information we hold on you. Should you wish to receive a copy of this, or would like to be removed from our database, please contact us at info@expressions.academy. Consent will also be obtained for communication purposes (advertisement and newsletters) and you can choose what method you would like to be contacted by.

Information collection and use

How do we collect information?

Expressions Academy collects information in two possible ways:

1. When you directly give it to us (“Directly Provided Data”)

When you sign up for our site, purchase our products or communicate with us, you may choose to voluntarily give us certain information – for example, by filling in text boxes or completing registration forms. All this information requires a direct action by you at that time in order for us to receive it.

Information provided directly by schools for after school clubs, remain under the responsibility of the School, unless responsibility formally handed over to Expressions Academy by the school. We may require to store some personal data of your child during the after school club, for example emergency contact details and medical information. This information will only be kept for the duration of the club and then will be securely disposed of. If you require further information regarding the specific data process of your child’s school, please contact info@expressions.academy.

2. When you give us permission to obtain from other accounts (“User Authorised Data”)

Depending on your settings or the privacy policies for other online services, you may give us permission to obtain information from your account with those other services. For example, this can be via social media on our Expression Academy and Expression1vision pages.

How long do we keep your data for?

Expressions Academy will not retain your personal information longer than necessary. We will hold onto the information you provide for the duration of the event you are attending, and then will become archived, unless you opt in to be added to our database. If you choose to be added to our database we can use your data for future events and communicate with you, if you have provided additional consent. If you are on our database but have not interacted with Expressions Academy for two years, we will archive your data and remove you from the central database.

If legally required or if it is reasonably necessary to meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our Terms and Conditions, we may also retain some of your information for a limited period of time as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the Services to you. This data will be stored securely in an archive folder.

Registration Forms

Expressions Academy will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information, gathered as a result of filling out the site or paper registration form, to anyone.

Choosing how we use your data

We understand that you trust us with your personal information and we are committed to ensuring you can manage the privacy and security of your personal information yourself.

With respect to the information relating to you that ends up in our possession, and recognising that it is your choice to provide us with your personally identifiable information, we commit to giving you the ability to do all of the following:

You can verify the details you have submitted to Expressions Academy by contacting us on info@expressions.academy. Our security procedures mean that we may request proof of identity before we reveal information, including your e-mail address and possibly your address.
You can also contact us by the same method to change, correct, or delete your personal information controlled by Expressions Academy. Please note though that, if you have shared any information with others through social media channels, that information may remain visible, even if your account is deleted. However, we may retain archived copies of your information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (including to help address fraud and spam).
You can always feel free to update us on your details at any point by emailing info@expressions.academy or calling us on 07969869405. If you are on our database we will contact you yearly to ensure that your details are up-to-date.
