​

Ataris Art Australia (“Ataris Art”, “Ataris”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy and understands the importance of looking after the personal information shared with us.

This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect, why we collect it, how it may be used and stored, and how you can contact us about your information.

​

What information do we collect?

Depending on how you interact with Ataris, we may collect information including:

• your name and contact details

• booking and payment information

• names and ages or dates of birth of children participating in our programs

• parent, guardian and emergency contact details

• allergy, medical, dietary or other information provided to help us safely support a participant

• accessibility or additional support information you choose to provide

• photography and video consent preferences

• information provided through enquiry, booking and consent forms

• correspondence you have with Ataris

• photographs, videos and images of artwork where appropriate consent has been provided.

​

We only ask for information that is reasonably relevant to providing our services, managing bookings or supporting participants while they are at Ataris.

​

Information about children and young people

Because Ataris provides programs, workshops, parties and creative experiences for children and teenagers, we may need to collect information about young participants.

Where appropriate, this information is provided by a parent or guardian and may include information needed to support the participant safely and appropriately during their time at Ataris.

​

We ask parents and guardians to let us know if important information changes so that our records can be kept as accurate and current as reasonably possible.

​

How do we collect information?

Information may be collected when you:

• make a booking through our website

• complete an Ataris consent or information form

• enquire about a session, party, workshop or private experience

• subscribe to our email communications

• contact us by email, phone, social media or another communication method

• attend an Ataris session, workshop or event

• otherwise voluntarily provide information to us.

​

Ataris currently uses third-party platforms including Wix and Jotform to help manage website interactions, bookings and forms.

​

Those providers may process or store information using their own systems and privacy practices.

​

Why do we collect your information?

We may use the information we collect to:

• manage bookings, enquiries and payments

• communicate with you about your booking or Ataris services

• provide workshops, sessions, parties and events

• support the safety and wellbeing of participants

• respond appropriately to allergies, medical considerations or additional support information provided to us

• maintain emergency contact information

• manage photography and video permissions

• send updates or marketing communications where you have chosen to receive them

• improve our services and the way Ataris operates

• meet applicable legal, safety or administrative requirements.

We will not use sensitive information provided about a child or participant for marketing purposes.

​

Photos & video

Ataris regularly photographs the wonderfully creative things happening inside the studio.

​

For children and young people, identifiable photographs or videos will only be used for Ataris social media, website or promotional purposes in accordance with the permission provided by their parent or guardian.

​

Parents and guardians may choose not to provide photo consent, and this does not prevent a child from participating in Ataris activities.

​

Where available, you may also choose to allow photographs of your child's artwork without permitting identifiable photographs of your child.

​

Adults attending Ataris who do not wish to appear in photographs or videos are encouraged to let us know.

​

How is information stored?

Personal information may be stored electronically through the platforms and systems Ataris uses to operate the business, including website, booking, form, email and related service providers.

​

We take reasonable steps appropriate to a small business to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access or disclosure.

No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

Third-party services

Ataris uses third-party services to help operate the studio and website. These may include services used for website hosting, bookings, forms, email communication and payment processing.

​

Information provided through these services may also be subject to the privacy policies and data-handling practices of those providers.

​

Some third-party providers may process or store information outside Australia.

​

Marketing communications

If you choose to subscribe to Ataris emails or marketing communications, we may use the contact details you provide to send information about upcoming workshops, events, programs or studio news.

​

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe option included in those communications.

​

Operational messages relating to an existing booking are separate from marketing communications and may still be sent where necessary to manage your booking.

​

Accessing or correcting your information

If you would like to ask what personal information Ataris holds about you or your child, or you believe information needs to be corrected or updated, please contact us.

 

We may need to verify your identity or your authority as a parent or guardian before providing access to certain information.

​

How long do we keep information?

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, our business and administrative requirements, or any applicable legal obligations.

​

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be securely deleted or de-identified where appropriate.

​

Privacy questions or concerns

If you have a question, concern or complaint about the way Ataris has handled personal information, please contact us with the details of your concern.

​

We will review the matter and respond within a reasonable timeframe.

​

Changes to this policy

As Ataris grows, the systems and services we use may change too.

​

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, services or applicable requirements. The current version will be available on the Ataris website with the date it was last updated.
