Last reviewed 11 September 2026

What we collect

Northstar may collect identity and contact details, student and guardian information, admissions information, enquiry messages, event-registration details, portal account information, newsletter subscription/consent records and technical security logs when those services are used.

Why we use it

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, administer admissions, manage events and visits, provide secure portal services, send newsletters only to verified subscribers, keep school records, protect our systems and meet legal or safeguarding obligations.

Sharing and processors

Information is shared only where needed with authorised school staff and approved service providers that support hosting, email, analytics, communications or other school operations. Information about key service providers and relevant transfer safeguards can be requested from the privacy contact.

Retention and rights

Northstar retains information according to its approved retention schedule. Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights to access, correct, restrict, object to, port or erase certain personal information.

Children and safeguarding

Because Northstar is a school, some records concern children. Access to those records must be limited to authorised people and handled in line with safeguarding, education and data-protection requirements.
