Children's personal information

Keeping your personal information safe 

We take the security of your personal information seriously and have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. 

These measures include secure systems, password protection, controlled access to personal information and the use of trusted third-party providers. 

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We continually review our security measures to help keep your information safe. 

 

How long we keep your personal information 

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide our services, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, resolve disputes and enforce our legal rights. 

When your personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete or dispose of it.

We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. If your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests, we may need a little longer. If this happens, we will keep you informed. 

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information, we would welcome the opportunity to address your concerns. You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent authority for data protection.
