Children’s privacy
-
- We are committed to safeguarding children’s personal information, and to helping parents, guardians and their children learn how to exercise control over their personal information.

- If you are aged 12 or under (a child), we will require permission from a parent, carer or the person who has parental responsibility for you before you can sign up to any of our Services. If you are a child, you will be asked to give us the name and email address of the person with parental responsibility. We will then confirm the booking with them. You will only be able to request our Services once that person has responded to the email confirming their parental responsibility and providing their consent. We may take other reasonable steps to confirm parental responsibility.
-
- All personal information received from a child is deleted immediately where parental consent has been refused and after fourteen (14) days if the child’s request is not verified.
