Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how King Makers Academy (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses and protects information when you use our public website, blog and online school portal.
1. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to:
- Public pages such as the home page, Blog / News and Events.
- Student, parent and staff access to the secure portal.
- Any forms where you contact us or register a learner.
2. Information We Collect
Usage and log data. When you visit our site we may automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed and the time of your visit. This helps us keep the site secure and improve performance.
Registration and portal data. When you apply or are enrolled as a learner or staff member, we collect the details you or the school provide (for example name, contact details, date of birth, academic records and emergency contact information). These are used only to run the school and provide services to you.
Contact and comment data. If you send us a message or comment on a blog post, we collect the information you submit (such as name, email address and message content) so we can respond and keep our community safe.
3. Cookies & Google AdSense on the Blog
Our blog pages may show advertising served by Google AdSense and its partners. When ads are shown, Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to:
- Deliver and measure the performance of ads.
- Personalise ads where allowed by law and your settings.
- Detect fraud and abuse.
These cookies are controlled by Google, not directly by our school. You can learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

6. Data Retention
Student and school records are kept for as long as necessary for educational, legal and administrative purposes. Log and analytics data may be kept for a shorter period, consistent with security and reporting needs.
