Privacy

This page explains how the Academy handles information submitted through this website, including enquiry forms, programme interest forms, beta applications, and member-access requests.

Who is responsible

The Academy of D'Key is responsible for deciding how website enquiry and application information is used for Academy communication, cohort administration, and programme development unless a separate written arrangement says otherwise.

What information we collect

When you use Academy forms, we may collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, programme interest, role, learning goals, application answers, and any message you submit.

How we use information

We use submitted information to respond to enquiries, review programme interest, consider beta or founding-student applications, issue cohort invitations, support Academy administration, maintain basic records, and send relevant Academy updates connected to the interest you expressed.

Lawful and limited handling

We aim to handle information on a limited, relevant, and proportionate basis. In practical terms, this means using form details because you asked us to respond, because you requested programme information, because we need to administer Academy access, or because there is a legitimate Academy need to maintain accurate records.

Sensitive or urgent information

Academy forms are not emergency, medical, psychological, legal, or financial support channels. Please do not submit urgent crisis details or unnecessary sensitive information through website forms.

What we do not do

We do not sell your information to advertisers. We do not use submitted details for unrelated spam. We do not publish application details publicly without a separate permission or clear agreement.

Hosting and form processing

This site may use third-party hosting, form-processing, email, storage, and security services to receive submissions and keep the Academy website operational. Information you submit may pass through those services as part of the ordinary running of the website.

Retention

We keep submitted information only for as long as it remains reasonably useful for communication, cohort administration, access management, compliance, record-keeping, or the protection of the Academy and its participants. We may remove information earlier where it is no longer needed.

Your choices and rights

You may contact the Academy to ask what information you have provided through a form, request correction of obvious errors, ask not to receive further Academy emails, or request deletion where retention is no longer necessary.

Children and young people

Academy forms are intended for adults or for submissions made with appropriate parent, guardian, or responsible-adult involvement where relevant.
