8. Children’s Data
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
LS Tuition does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
9. Data Security & Breach Notification
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We implement technical and organisational security measures to protect your data. In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected users and the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) as required by law.
10. Media Use and Anonymised Images
Where image or video content is used for marketing or training purposes, LS Tuition will only do so with explicit consent provided by a parent or carer. In some cases, LS Tuition may use media where children are not personally identifiable – for example, when a photo is taken from behind or a face is fully blurred. These images do not contain any recognisable personal features and are treated as anonymised under UK GDPR.
