Privacy Policy

Privacy & Data Protection

At Little Belters, we take great care to safeguard personal data provided by all our members and to process this data fairly and lawfully in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the incoming General Data Protection Regulations 2018 (GDPR)

·      Any information you provide to us is confidential and secure.

·      We will work hard to keep accurate and up to date information on you.

·      You have the right to request access to the data we hold on you, and also the right to request we delete that data.

·      We will not share or sell your details to other organisations for marketing.

If you join your child as a member of Little Belters, your card information is not held by us, it is collected by our third-party payment processors, who specialise in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions, as explained below.

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf: We do work with third party service providers who we receive data from in order to process our membership. We may share your information with our third-party service providers, (for example Mail Chimp) for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to send you mailings). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service. We do receive data from Class4Kids who process our membership and class bookings and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure. If you have agreed for them to do so, they may use your data for their own direct marketing purposes. Class4Kids have their own privacy policy which is available on their website. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond the Little Belters network for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.

When will you need to provide your details?

To book a taster session with Little Belter and Teen Belters you will need to get in touch via the form BOOK A FREE TASTER SESSION on our website. You will need to provide us with your name, your child’s name, email address, mobile number and your child’s age. These details are temporarily stored on our website but are deleted once the message has been received by us.

If your child enjoyed the taster session, you will then register as a member of Little Belters and/or Teen Belters. By registering as a member, you are opting into receiving our half-termly newsletter and all concert information. All your contact details including name, child’s name, mobile number, email address will be stored on our secure supporter database.

For Absolute Belters, we adhere to an Opt-in system for our half termly newsletter, so we will only ever send newsletters to those who have requested them. You can remove yourself from the mailing list anytime by emailing absolutebelters@littlebelters.co.uk and requesting your email address is removed from the list. If you wish, you can also request all data we hold on you to be deleted.

If you would like to exercise your right to request your data, or be forgotten, please contact us by emailing hello@littlebelters.co.uk   and we will implement your request within the required 30 days.

The accuracy of your information is important to us. If you change your contact details, or any of the information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us directly. You can update your details on the third-party company website Class4Kids, where you register for Little Belters membership and classes.
