Storypark may be directed by the Account Holder to disclose this Personal Data to an Authorised Viewer (such as an educator), to facilitate their understanding of the Child’s progress, development, interests etc.

  • Educators may share group plans (which may include Sensitive information of a Child) with the Primary Account Holders for all Children included in the group plan. 
  • Storypark may be directed to allow a Centre (or a network that operates a Centre) to access an Educator Portfolio and its associated Personal Data (where that Centre maintains the Centre Account to which your Educator Portfolio relates).
  • Where you provide Personal Data about any person or Child to us through the Service, you are responsible for making sure you have the appropriate permission and consent for us to disclose any Content (which may contain Personal Data) in the manner you direct through the Service.

c) Sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, reorganisation, or acquisition: If Storypark or substantially all of its assets were acquired by a third party, Personal Data which we hold may be one of the transferred assets (subject to the same constraints on use and disclosure as under this policy).

d) Law Enforcement and Legal Obligations: We may disclose Personal Data to third parties without your consent for any of the following reasons: (i) to comply with any law, regulation or order of a court, administrative agency or government tribunal; (ii) to cooperate with Government investigations; (iii) to help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights of Provider or its subsidiaries and to pursue available remedies or limit any damages that we may sustain; or (iv) where it is necessary to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of an identifiable person or group.

e) Other Third Parties: We may disclose Personal Data to other third parties without your consent where required or permitted by law, including where: (i) the information is public as permitted by law; (ii) it is reasonable for the purposes of investigating a breach of an agreement, or actual or suspected illegal activity; or (iii) it is necessary to identify an individual who is injured, ill or deceased, or (iv) due to an emergency that threatens the life, health or security of an individual.

11. Trans-border Personal Data flows

Storypark’s head office is located in Wellington, New Zealand, so some limited information about adult individuals (including customers) is transferred and /or stored there. 

The vast majority of Personal Data we handle is stored and hosted in Sydney, Australia. All Personal Data relating to Children on Storypark is hosted in Australia.

Some limited Personal Data may be provided to companies located in the USA who offer software as a service products that process content for inclusion on the Service (for example, conversion of images and videos to make them suitable for viewing online/ through a web browser). Some Personal Data of people who work in Centres is stored in our client relationship management tool, Salesforce, hosted in Tokyo, Japan. Those third parties located overseas are not permitted to (and are contractually obligated to not) access or use the Personal Data provided except for those limited purposes. We have agreements with such third parties that prevent them from using or disclosing to others the Personal Data we share with them, other than as is necessary to assist us.

In respect of the transfer of Personal Data to Australia, the USA and other countries, we will use reasonable efforts to obtain assurances from any third parties that they will safeguard personal information consistent with this Privacy Policy and all applicable Data Protection Laws. However, in providing your consent to such trans-border transfers, you acknowledge that the Data Protection Laws existing in some jurisdictions may not contain safeguards that are comparable to those contained in the privacy laws in the jurisdiction in which you live.

While the information resides outside of the territory where you reside, it may be accessible to the local courts, law enforcement and national security authorities in a foreign jurisdiction.

12. Security of Personal Data

We take reasonable steps to protect Personal Data, including through internal and external security, restricting access to Personal Data to those who have a need to know, maintaining technological products to help prevent unauthorised computer access and regularly reviewing our technology to maintain security. We choose technology partners based on factors including their security and privacy policies and practices.

Personal Data stored in our system is protected by administrative, electronic and procedural safeguards. We take reasonable precautions to protect Personal Data (and other content) from accidental loss and theft by storing it in secure data centres with off-site backups. Communication over the web between Account Holders and our servers are encrypted via industry-standard transport layer security (TLS). Please note email is not an encrypted means of communication. 

The Service is protected by a secure and encrypted password that each Account Holder must choose themselves. Account Holders should never share their passwords. Storypark is not responsible for any loss of data or breach of privacy if an Account Holder shares their password with someone else. We protect your passwords before they are stored on our servers with a cryptographic hashing measure. This makes it incredibly difficult for anyone to determine your password in the unlikely event that a malicious party were to gain access to our servers.

Because internet transmissions cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure and no security measures can provide absolute protection, you acknowledge and agree that you use the Service at your own risk.

In case of a security incident or any other breach of security safeguards, such as the loss of, unauthorised access to or unauthorised disclosure of Personal Data under Storypark’s control, we will respond in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws.

Email transmissions are not secure.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Data relates to you or your minor child. We will only use Personal Data provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Please note that where we are not, or are no longer, in a position to identify you within the information we hold (including because of any de-identification techniques we may have employed), then your rights as described above shall not apply.

We will respond to any request made in respect of the above in accordance with the applicable Data Protection Laws where you are resident.

We will respond to any request made in respect of the above within thirty (30) calendar days of a request. In the event we are unable to respond within the initial 30 day period, and subject to applicable law, we will inform you of any delay and the reasons for such delay.).

We will work with you to resolve any concerns you have about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices. If we are unable to resolve your privacy concerns and you reside in Canada, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or direct your inquiry/complaint to the relevant Information and Privacy Commissioner in your province/ territory of residence.

14. Cancelling your Account

If your Storypark Account terminates (for whatever reason), the Personal Data associated with it may no longer be accessible to you.
