Children and Young People

​

CD Guitar School provides lessons to children and young people. Information about pupils will be limited to what is reasonably necessary for providing and managing lessons. 

 

Parents/guardians may voluntarily provide information about a pupil’s learning, accessibility, health or other circumstances where this is relevant to lessons. Such information will be handled carefully and only used where reasonably necessary.

Reasonable steps will be taken to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss or disclosure. Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary, subject to legal and accounting requirements.

​

​

Third-Party Services

​

CD Guitar School uses third-party services including Wix, WhatsApp, Facebook/Meta, banking providers and potentially Obsidian to operate the business. These services may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. 

 

CD Guitar School will not sell personal information.

Information will not normally be shared with others unless necessary to provide the service, legally required, authorised by the individual, or necessary for safeguarding or protecting someone from serious harm.
