Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018) we rely on:
Our classes are for children and young people aged 3 to 19. We only ask for the information we need about a child, and we collect it from a parent or guardian. Our enquiry form is intended to be completed by a parent or guardian. All our teachers have Access NI checks completed.
Your information will not be given to any other third parties for their own use, with one exception: if your child is entered for a Regulated (Ofqual) grade exam, we pass the details needed for that exam entry to UKA Dance, the awarding organisation, which handles them under its own data protection protocols.
We also use a small number of trusted service providers to run this website and our communications, such as our website host, our email provider and Google (for analytics and maps, only where you have consented). These providers only process information on our behalf.
We keep student details for as long as your child is enrolled in classes. Enquiry details are kept only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry. When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted.
We use essential cookies to make the website work and, only if you agree, analytics cookies from Google Analytics. Embedded Google Maps are only loaded once you have given consent. You can change your choice at any time using the consent banner. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.
This website uses a secure (HTTPS) connection and our enquiry form is protected against spam. Access to the information you send us is limited to the academy.
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, email dancegillian@outlook.com.
