Privacy and transparency

Privacy Policy

We are committed to handling personal information with care, clarity, and respect throughout every interaction with our school community.

Last updated:

Important template notice

This policy is demonstration content for the EduVerse Academy theme. Before launching a real school website, replace it with a policy reviewed for your institution’s actual data practices, service providers, safeguarding responsibilities, and applicable laws.

EduVerse Academy (“the school,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) values the trust of students, families, staff, applicants, and website visitors. This policy explains the types of information that may be collected through this website, why it may be used, and the choices available to you.

This policy applies to information handled through the public-facing website. Separate policies and notices may apply to student records, learning platforms, employment records, safeguarding systems, and other school operations.

Section 01

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you choose to provide when requesting information, contacting the school, registering interest, applying for admission, subscribing to updates, or communicating with staff.

Information you provide

  • Name, email address, telephone number, and preferred contact method
  • Parent, guardian, applicant, or student relationship information
  • Admissions interests, year level, program preferences, and inquiry details
  • Messages, attachments, feedback, and other information submitted through forms

Information collected automatically

When analytics or security tools are enabled, limited technical information may be collected, such as browser type, device type, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed, and interaction timestamps.

Section 02

How We Use Data

Personal information may be used only for legitimate school and website purposes, including:

  • Responding to questions and providing requested information
  • Supporting admissions, visit, event, and enrollment inquiries
  • Sending communications that you have requested or consented to receive
  • Maintaining website security, reliability, and accessibility
  • Understanding website usage and improving content and services
  • Meeting legal, regulatory, safeguarding, or record-keeping obligations

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis or notice.

Section 03

Contact, Registration, and Newsletter Forms

Information submitted through contact, admissions, event registration, or newsletter forms should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the stated purpose. Required and optional fields should be clearly identified on each form.

If you subscribe to newsletters or school updates, you may unsubscribe using the link in the message or by contacting the school. An unsubscribe request does not prevent operational communications that are necessary to respond to an active application, inquiry, or school relationship.

The demonstration forms included with this theme require connection to the buyer’s chosen form processor or backend before they can collect or deliver real submissions.

Section 04

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on a device to support website functionality, remember preferences, protect forms, or measure website performance. A school website may use:

  • Essential cookies required for security and core functionality
  • Preference cookies that remember settings selected by a visitor
  • Analytics cookies that help understand how the website is used

Where required, non-essential cookies should be disabled until consent is provided. Visitors can also control cookies through their browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect some website functions.

Section 05

Third-Party Services and Links

The website may link to or integrate services operated by third parties, such as maps, video platforms, analytics providers, form processors, social networks, payment providers, or admissions systems. Those providers may process information under their own privacy notices and terms.

External links are provided for convenience. The school is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of websites it does not control. Review the privacy notice of each third-party service before submitting personal information.

Section 06

Data Storage and Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards should be used to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Access should be limited to authorized personnel and service providers who need the information for an approved purpose.

Information should be retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by legal, safeguarding, accreditation, or record-keeping obligations. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Section 07

Your Rights Over Personal Data

Depending on applicable law and the nature of your relationship with the school, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information held about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion or restriction in certain circumstances
  • Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent
  • Object to certain uses or request a portable copy of eligible data
  • Submit a concern to the relevant data protection authority

We may need to verify your identity or authority before responding. Some requests may be limited where information must be retained for legal, educational, safeguarding, or public-interest reasons.

Section 08

Children’s and Student Privacy

Schools have a special responsibility to protect children’s and students’ information. The public website should not request sensitive information from a child unless the request is appropriate, clearly explained, and supported by the required parent, guardian, school, or legal authorization.

Parents and guardians should supervise younger users when they interact with online forms. Student records, health details, learning information, safeguarding records, and similar sensitive data should be managed through approved secure systems rather than general public website forms.

Section 09

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated when the school’s services, technology, legal obligations, or data practices change. The latest version should always be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

Where a change materially affects how personal information is handled, the school should provide an additional notice through an appropriate communication channel.
