The Chrysalis holds personal information about children and families in order to provide the best possible care and education. We are committed to keeping that information safe, using it responsibly, and being transparent about how it is handled.
Information We Collect
To care for your child, we collect information such as:
- Your child's name, age, and photograph
- Health, dietary, and developmental information
- Parent and guardian contact and emergency details
- Attendance, progress, and daily report records
- Payment and enrolment records
How We Use It
We use your information only to:
- Provide safe, personalised care and education
- Keep you informed about your child's day and progress
- Contact you in an emergency
- Manage enrolment, fees, and school administration
We never sell your information or share it for marketing without your consent.
How We Keep It Safe
Your information is protected through secure digital systems and restricted access. Only authorised staff can view family records, and only what is relevant to their role. Physical documents are stored securely.
Photographs & Media
We only use photographs of your child with your consent, which you provide at enrolment. You may choose whether images are used in daily reports only, or also in school communications. You can change your preference at any time.
Sharing Information
We only share your information where necessary — for example, with a medical professional in an emergency, or with authorities where we have a safeguarding or legal duty to do so. In all cases, we share the minimum necessary.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- See the information we hold about your child
- Ask us to correct anything inaccurate
- Ask questions about how your data is used
- Request that we delete information we no longer need
To exercise any of these, simply contact the school office.
Keeping & Deleting Records
We keep records only for as long as necessary — to care for your child, meet our obligations, and maintain proper school records. When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or destroyed.
