Privacy Notice for Parents and Guardians

This notice explains how I collect, use and store personal information in connection with the individual singing lessons I provide to your child.

Who I am

I am a self-employed singing teacher, independently contracted by you (the parent or guardian) to provide individual singing lessons. I am not an employee of the Stephen Perse Foundation, and I am the data controller for the personal information described below.

What information I collect

  • Your child's name, year group and lesson schedule

  • Your contact details (name, email address and, where provided, telephone number)

  • Any information you choose to share with me directly regarding your child's learning style, prior musical experience, or educational needs relevant to their lessons

  • Notes on your child's progress, repertoire and attendance, made in the course of teaching

Why I collect it

I use this information to:

  • Plan and deliver lessons suited to your child's level and needs

  • Communicate with you about scheduling, progress and fees

  • Meet my contractual and administrative obligations, including invoicing

The legal basis for this processing is the contract between us for the provision of lessons, and, where relevant, your consent in sharing additional information about your child.

How your information is shared

As I am contracted directly to you rather than employed by the school, schools do not routinely share pastoral, SEND or other personal information about your child with me. Any such information reaches me only if you choose to share it directly. I do not share your or your child's information with third parties, except where required by law or safeguarding obligations.

How long I keep it

I retain lesson records and contact details for the duration of your child's lessons with me, and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet accounting and safeguarding obligations, after which they are securely deleted.

Your rights

You may ask me at any time to see the information I hold about your child, to correct any inaccuracies, or to have it deleted, subject to my legal obligations to retain certain records. Please contact me directly using the details below with any such request, or with any questions about this notice.

If you have concerns about how your information is handled that we cannot resolve together, you also have the right to contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
