Our Commitment to Privacy
Beaconhouse Newlands values you as a User and respects your privacy. We collect certain information from you that allows us to customize and enhance your experience and to communicate with you about our school and its programmes. We are committed to managing this information responsibly so that you are in control of your personal information and the communications you receive from us.
What This Policy Covers
This policy describes the personal information we collect from you and why; how we use this information; when we share this information with third parties; the choices you can make about how your personal information is collected, used and/or shared; and the data security, accuracy and access measures we have adopted to protect your information under our control from loss, misuse or alteration.
This policy applies solely to information collected by The Beaconhouse brand. This policy does not apply to the practices of people that Beaconhouse does not employ or companies that Beaconhouse does not own or operate.
Please be aware that our web sites may contain links to other sites hosted by third parties. Beaconhouse Newlands does not control and is not responsible for the content or privacy practices and policies of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave one of our web sites and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information from you.
The Information We Collect
You can visit our web sites or locations without telling us who you are or revealing any other personal information about yourself. We may track the Internet domain address from which you visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless and until you identify yourself to us.
Beaconhouse Newlands collects personally identifiable information from you when you sign-in on our website, on-line registration, information emails etc, promotion or survey, or request other services that require information, registration or subscription. This information may include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, gender, occupation, personal interests and your child’s date of birth. We may also record information on our server logs from your browser (including your Internet domain address, Beaconhouse Newlands cookie information, and the page you requested).
Whether or not you provide any of your personal information is your own choice. If you choose not to provide the information we request, we may not be able to assist you to the best of our ability.
How We Use Information
Beaconhouse Newlands uses user information for three general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see on our sites; to fulfil your requests for certain services and information required (e.g. admissions, queries etc.) and to contact you about new educational programmes, special events and promotions. We use Internet domain addresses for internal purposes to analyze trends, administer the site, track your movement and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Beaconhouse Newlands typically will not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information, but reserves the right to do so in order to identify a user when we feel this is necessary to enforce compliance with our internal policies or Beaconhouse Newlands Terms of Use (available on our web site) or to protect our service, site, user’s or others.
How We Share Information
Beaconhouse Newlands may share such information with companies that work on behalf of Beaconhouse in order for them to provide a product or service you have requested or shown interest in (sometimes known as service providers); we respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process; or we find that your actions on one of our web sites violate Beaconhouse Newlands Terms of Use or any of our usage guidelines for specific products or services. We prohibit our service providers from using your information except to the extent necessary to fulfil their services to us.
In the event that some or all of our business assets are sold or transferred, we would transfer your information to the buyer or transferee.
How We Protect Children’s Privacy
Beaconhouse Newlands is concerned about the safety and security of children when they use the Internet. Our web sites are general audience sites. We will not knowingly accept personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. Children under the age of 13 must ask a parent or guardian for permission before providing any personal information online.
About “Cookies”
A “cookie” is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about you. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, you would only have to log in a password once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies permit us to track and target your interests in order to enhance your experience on our web sites. We do not save passwords or credit card information in cookies.
Advertisers or other companies do not have access to Beaconhouse Newlands cookies. We may allow business partners to set and access their own cookies on your computer. In such cases, however, Beaconhouse Newlands has no access to or control over such cookies. In addition, we may contract with a third party who may use cookies and collect information on our behalf. These third parties are prohibited by our terms of engagement with them from sharing your information with anyone other than us.
