This information will be used to decide which competition category a child is able to enter. If the child is a winner, the child’s picture will be used to support community safety messages on Social Media and, if you consent, we will refer to the child’s first name and age when using the picture.
Who will have access to the information?
Only the team running the competition will have access to this information.
How long will you keep hold of my information?
We will keep the personal information of winners for one year after announcing the winner. Otherwise we will only keep your personal information for one month after announcing the winner.
