Erasure, Your Right to be Forgotten

​

You have the right to request that we delete all of your data at any time. In the event that we receive a request for erasure we will respond within one month. If you are no longer an SCTA customer we will securely erase all of your data within this period. If you request erasure whilst your child is still attending SCTA clubs, we will contact you to discuss this before securely erasing your data as it will almost certainly be necessary for us to hold some personal data in order to provide you with a safe, coordinated service.

​

Recorded Media

​

We will only take and store photographs and/or videos of children where we have obtained media consent. These may appear across our marketing, on our website & social media accounts and in public showcases/presentations & promotional events. Children featured will never be named publicly. Parents and individuals can ask SCTA Theatre Academy to stop using media containing themselves or their child/children at any time, at which point the media will not be used in future publications but may continue to appear in publications already in circulation. All recorded media is stored securely.

 

How We Store Your Information​

​

All SCTA email accounts are secure, all electronic devices have passwords or passcodes and are locked or logged out of when not in use. We are careful when opening attachments and visiting websites to minimise the risk of virus attacks. Devices or documents containing personal information is not given to anyone other than SCTA or school staff.​ Printed registers only include information necessary to maintain a safe and efficient service, this includes both the student's and parent's full names, parent's phone number, child's year group and whether you have consented to photos and videos of your child being taken and used in our advertising. Club leaders are only provided with additional printed information when it is necessary to provide a safe, inclusive environment. SCTA Theatre Academy understand and acknowledge that it is an offence to release any information we hold about any individual without that person’s consent.
