​
What personal information World Class Arena collects
​
The information we collect is limited to what we need in order to provide services to you.
In respect of general enquiries and contacts from school customers, we collect:
​
-
Your name
-
Your school or organisation name
-
Your phone number
-
Your email address
-
Your school postal address
​
In respect of students registering for World Class Tests, we ask the student’s school to provide us with:
​
-
Your name
-
Your date of birth
​
Why we collect your personal information and what we use it for
​
World Class Arena Limited uses information you provide us with in order to:
​
-
Contact you to answer any question you may have asked us
-
Send you materials and products you may have ordered from us
-
To process a payment you may have sent us
​
We will also use email addresses provided by school teachers to email you with information regarding our products and events. In all such marketing emails that we send, you will always have an option to unsubscribe from those marketing lists.
​
Schools that have registered with us to purchase World Class Tests are also provided with a school account. In doing this, our database generates a UserID and a password for you. We email that information to you when an account is first set up for you; and if you ever need a new password for any reason, we will generate a new password and email it to you. We never use that UserID or password ourselves.
​
We use student information in respect of World Class Tests to generate Student Certificates and School Reports. Both documents contain students’ names and dates-of-birth.
​
From time to time, we also use date-of-birth information to analyse trends in World Class Tests and to check for inconsistencies or anomalies in the standards and difficulty of the tests.
​
If we have obtained your permission and all necessary parent consents, we may also use photographic images of you, your students and your school on our website and on promotional material.
​
If we have obtained your permission and all necessary consents, we may also use your voice recording on Pipiatum and in associated promotional materials and websites.
​
How we share your personal information with third parties
​
World Class Arena Limited will never share, sell or otherwise make your personal information available to third parties.
​
If we include on our website or elsewhere any reference to you, your school, any image of you or any recording or you, we will have previously obtained your signed consent for us to do so.
​
School and student personal information that we have collected for the purposes of registering you for World Class Tests may from time to time be processed on our behalf by third party contractors. In all cases, those third parties will be bound by the terms of our privacy policies and will have no access to your data beyond the need to process it. An example of ‘processing’ would be manually to generate a replacement Student Certificate for World Class Tests.
​
Your data protection rights
​
You have the right to contact us for the following purposes in relation to the data we hold (or you think we might hold) on you:
​
-
To ask us to explain and describe your personal data that we hold, including to ask us to correct any inaccuracies.
-
To ask us to delete your personal information. If you are a student or the parent of a student who has completed World Class Tests and you wish us to delete your information, please contact us via the school that provided and paid for your World Class Tests registration. If this is difficult for you, please contact us directly.
-
To request a copy of your data. This could include, for example, to request a replacement World Class Tests certificate.
-
To object or complain if you believe we are misusing your personal data or if you consider we have failed to uphold the commitments set out in this Privacy Policy.
​
If you do contact us for any of the above reasons, we will handle your enquiry as quickly as possible.
​
Keeping your personal data safe
​
World Class Arena uses third party software to store data.
​
Some of the data we hold is stored outside the European Economic Area. This is because companies that provide services to us run their services from outside the EEA, but please note that we only take the decision to use these companies’ services if we are satisfied with their levels of security.
​
When you communicate with us, whether via our website or email or using the postal service, World Class Arena asks that you recognise the risks posed to your data while it is in transit. This also applies to personal information contained in World Class Test Student Certificates and School Reports that you might ask us to post or email to you.
​
When you have sent us printed information containing personal data, such as a registration form for World Class Tests, we always process that information as quickly as we can and dispose of the hardcopy material promptly using a third-party company with track record in the safe disposal and shredding of confidential information.
​
How long do we retain your personal data
​
World Class Arena Limited retains your confidential data until:
​
-
You ask us to delete it;
-
In respect of teachers, we become aware that you have left the school you registered with.
​
Our data protection registration
​
World Class Arena Limited is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Our registration number is Z290963X.
​
Changes to this policy
​
World Class Arena Limited reviews this Privacy Policy at least once a year as well as whenever legislative or regulatory changes require us to do so. The most current approved version of the Privacy Policy is always available on our website.
