When do we collect data?
When you register your details with us or make a booking, we will need to collect certain personal details in order to process your booking and make the necessary arrangements for your child(ren) to attend our experiences.
Prior to attending our experiences, we will also need to collect more sensitive personal data, specifically relating to the children relating to your bookings. Data will include information such as medical conditions, allergies and educational needs in order to ensure we can provide the appropriate care for your child. During our experiences you may need to complete forms which will require personal information relating to you or your child or if you contact us with a query/complaint.
We may also collect data from you in other ways that will request your name, address, email address and telephone number. For example, when you enter a competition, complete a survey, follow us through social media or when you actively sign up to email or phone text messages from us for marketing purposes.

How do we protect data?
Storage – Once data is received, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is secure to prevent unauthorised access to it. All information you provide is stored on secure databases, our IT systems are password protected, hard copy information at camp is held in lockable containers and all payment transactions are encrypted.
Security and passwords – When you create an account with us you are assigned a Customer ID number. Your account will require an email and password so that you can access your details online. We advise your password should consist of at least six characters that are a combination of letters, numbers and symbols (e.g.@, #, $, %). It should also contain letters in both uppercase and lowercase.
Please do not share your password with anyone. Unfortunately, the passing of data via the internet is not completely secure therefore any transmission is at your own risk. Please keep these details safe and not written down anywhere. If you change your personal details or if you suspect that someone else has used your password or security word, then please notify us as soon as possible.
How long do we keep data for?
There are legal requirements for how long we have to keep data for before destroying it. Due to the nature of our services involving children we are required to keep information relating to each child and their booking for 25 years after they leave camp. All data is archived by year of attendance and destroyed after 25 years. When the time arises, we securely delete and destroy all of the information we hold. Hard copies of personal data are shredded and electronic copies are securely deleted.
Whilst we hold data for longer, we will only actively use this to contact you regarding our products and services within a maximum of 3 years of your last booking/enquiry with us.
