Children's data

Some of our services involve working with children. Where this is the case, we collect only the information necessary to deliver the service agreed with the parent or guardian. We do not collect personal data directly from children. All data relating to children is treated with additional care and is only processed with the explicit consent of a parent or guardian.

 

How we keep your data secure

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or disclosure. Access to personal data is restricted to Dave Church as the sole data controller. Third-party processors used by Braythorpe are required to meet equivalent security standards.

 

Who we share your information with

We do not sell your data. We only share information with third-party services that help us deliver our work, including:

• Stripe — payment processing for individual clients

• FreshBooks — invoicing for school and organisational clients

• Calendly — appointment booking

• Mailchimp — email communications (only where you have opted in)

• Notion — internal record-keeping

 

Each of these providers has their own privacy policy and data processing terms.

 

International data transfers

Some of our third-party processors are based outside the UK. Stripe, Mailchimp and Notion are based in the United States. FreshBooks is based in Canada. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved for use under UK data protection law. Canada is recognised by the UK as providing adequate protection for personal data. For further information on the safeguards applied by any of our processors, please contact us at hello@braythorpe.co.uk.

 

How long we keep your information

We keep client records for up to six years after our last contact, in line with standard business practice. Enquiries that do not result in a booking are deleted within 12 months. Records relating to children are deleted once the six-year period has elapsed or sooner upon request from a parent or guardian.
