This Privacy Policy explains how STEAMBRIDGE International School collects, uses and protects information provided through our website and related online services.
CLEAR. RESPONSIBLE. RESPECTFUL.
STEAMBRIDGE International School respects the privacy of students, parents, guardians, staff, applicants and website visitors. We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary for communication, admissions, school operations and the delivery of relevant services.
This policy may be revised from time to time. Any updated version will be published on this page.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information may include:
- Name of student, parent, guardian or applicant.
- Email address and telephone or WhatsApp number.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
Information collected through this website may be used for legitimate school-related purposes, including:
- Responding to enquiries and requests for information.
- Processing and managing admission applications.
- Communicating with parents, guardians and prospective families.
- Arranging campus visits, transport enquiries or school services.

We do not use personal information for purposes that are unrelated to the reason it was collected, unless required or permitted by applicable law.
3. CHILDREN & STUDENT INFORMATION
As an educational institution, STEAMBRIDGE may receive personal information relating to children and students, particularly during admission and school administration processes.
Where information about a child is submitted through the website, it should normally be provided by a parent, legal guardian or authorised person.
We aim to handle student information with particular care and restrict its use to legitimate educational, administrative, safeguarding and school-related purposes.
4. COOKIES & WEBSITE ANALYTICS
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential website functions, understand website usage and improve performance.
Cookies may store limited technical information such as browser preferences, session information or anonymous usage data. Where required, users may be provided with options to manage cookie preferences.
Some third-party services integrated with the website may also set cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
5. WHEN INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED
STEAMBRIDGE does not sell personal information. Information may, however, be shared where reasonably necessary for school operations or legal compliance.
This may include sharing information with:
- Authorised school staff who require access for their role.
- Service providers supporting website, hosting, email or administrative systems.
- Relevant professional advisers where necessary.
- Government, regulatory or legal authorities when required by law.
- Other parties where consent has been provided or disclosure is otherwise legally permitted.
6. DATA SECURITY
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or inappropriate disclosure.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms unless specifically requested by the School.
7. HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, school record-keeping requirements, legitimate administrative needs or applicable legal obligations.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the relationship between the individual and the School.
8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, individuals may request information about personal data held by the School or ask for inaccurate information to be corrected.
Requests relating to access, correction, deletion, objection or other privacy concerns may be submitted to the School using the contact information below.
Some information may need to be retained where required for legal, safeguarding, contractual or legitimate school administration purposes.
9. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES & SERVICES
The STEAMBRIDGE website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including social media platforms, maps, messaging services or other external resources.
STEAMBRIDGE is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites. Users should review the relevant privacy policies before submitting information to third-party services.
10. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy where necessary to reflect changes to our website, school practices, services or applicable requirements.
The latest version will be made available on this page together with the date of the most recent update.
