Children's information

As our programmes are designed for young children, personal information is collected from parents or legal guardians on their behalf.

We ask parents to provide only the information that is necessary to ensure their child's safety and participation.

Photos and videos

We will only use photographs or videos of your child for our website, social media, or promotional material if you have given us explicit permission on the registration form.

Choosing not to give permission will not affect your child's participation in our classes.

Information is stored securely using trusted digital services and is only accessible to Ready Steady School team members who need it to carry out their role.

Who we share your information with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We will only share your information if:

you have given us permission;
it is necessary to protect the health or safety of your child or another person;
or we are required to do so by law.

How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting our legal, administrative, and health and safety responsibilities. When the information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or destroyed.

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:
