Pakuranga Montessori Learning Centre ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of personal information we collect through this website and, where applicable, through your child's enrolment with us.

​

This policy explains what personal information we collect via this website, how it's used, and your rights under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020. A more detailed Privacy Policy specific to your child's enrolment is provided and signed as part of our enrolment paperwork.

​

What information we collect through this website

Contact form submissions: name, email address, phone number, and any message you provide.

Enrolment form: our enrolment form is available as a downloadable PDF. Completed forms are returned to us directly — by email, in person, or by post — rather than submitted through this website. This form collects your child's details, parent/guardian details, emergency contacts, and health information, and is handled according to our full enrolment Privacy Policy once received.

​

Website usage data: general, non-identifying information such as browser type and pages visited.

​

How we use your information

We use information collected through this website to:

Respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form.

Process enrolment applications once your completed form is returned to us.

Communicate with prospective and current families.

Meet our obligations under the Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, and requirements of the Ministry of Education.

​

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

​

Children's information

Once your child is enrolled, we collect further information as part of our enrolment process — including health, immunisation, and emergency contact details — to provide quality early childhood education and ensure your child's health, safety, and wellbeing. This information is collected directly through our enrolment paperwork, not through this website, and is used only for centre operations. It may be disclosed to the Ministry of Education, Education Review Office (ERO), public health services, or emergency services where required.

​

Photos and videos

We take photos and videos of children to document their learning and participation in centre activities. These may be used for learning stories and documentation within the centre, shared with families via Storypark, or used for centre promotion — including on our website and official social media pages (such as Facebook and WeChat). We always seek written consent before using any photo or video of your child for external or promotional purposes, and you may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.

​

How we store and protect your information

Website form submissions are stored securely via our website platform (Wix) and our email system. Enrolment and health information collected in person is stored securely by the centre in line with our internal enrolment Privacy Policy.

​

Third-party links

Our website may link to third-party services, including Storypark, social media platforms, and government resources such as Inland Revenue and Work and Income. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.

​

Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you or your child. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.

​

Retention of records

We retain personal information as required by law. Once information is no longer needed, it is securely destroyed or anonymised.

​

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
