Silver Leaf Montessori Playgroup respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what information we may process, why we use it and the choices available to you.
Who is responsible for your information
Silver Leaf Montessori Playgroup is the responsible party for personal information processed for its own purposes. Privacy questions and requests may be sent to admin@silverleafmontessori.co.za.
Information you choose to provide
If you use the enquiry form, we collect the parent or caregiver’s name and surname, email address and contact number, the child’s name and date of birth, the mornings of interest, when you are looking to start, whether you would like to arrange a visit, and the information entered in the enquiry field. We may also receive information you choose to send by email or another contact channel.
We ask for the child’s name and date of birth so that we can understand their age and respond appropriately about programme suitability. The person submitting the form must be authorised to provide the child’s details.
Technical information
Our hosting and security providers may process limited technical information needed to load, protect and troubleshoot the website. This can include an IP address, browser or device type, requested page, request time and security information.
The enquiry form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish legitimate submissions from automated abuse. Turnstile may process technical and security information necessary to perform that check under Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
The enquiry page includes a map provided by OpenStreetMap. When the map loads, OpenStreetMap may receive limited technical information such as your IP address and browser details under its own privacy practices.
Optional analytics and advertising cookies
If you accept optional cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand ordinary page views and interactions such as clicks on directions, email and WhatsApp links. We also use Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API to measure visits and record a Lead event after a successful enquiry. Google and Meta may receive the page address, referring page, IP address, browser or device information and identifiers associated with their services. Each provider processes this information under its own privacy terms.
We do not send information entered in the enquiry form to Google or Meta and have not enabled Meta advanced matching. After you accept, the Lead event may also be sent directly from our server with technical request data such as IP address, browser information and Meta cookie identifiers. Neither provider's measurement script loads unless you accept. We store your choice for six months, and you can change or withdraw it at any time through Cookie preferences in the footer.
How we use personal information
We may use personal information to:
- respond to questions about the programme, attendance options, fees or visits;
- communicate with you about an enquiry you have made;
- operate, secure and troubleshoot the website and communication channels;
- keep reasonable records of enquiries and correspondence; and
- comply with legal duties or protect legitimate rights and interests.
When information may be shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that help us host the website, provide email or enable communication services. We may also disclose information where the law requires it or where this is reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal right.
Email delivery, external communication and hosting services may process information outside South Africa under their own terms and privacy practices. Use these channels only if you are comfortable with the relevant provider handling the information you send.
Retention and security
We aim to keep enquiry information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate record-keeping, or as required by law. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, but no website or communication service can guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Subject to the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 and other applicable law, you may ask whether we hold personal information about you and request access to, correction of or deletion of that information. You may also object to certain processing or ask us to restrict its use where the law allows.
To make a request, email admin@silverleafmontessori.co.za. We may need enough information to verify your identity before acting on a request. If you believe your personal information has been handled unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa.
External links
This website links to services such as Google Maps, embeds a map from OpenStreetMap and, with your permission, uses Google Analytics and Meta Pixel. Their own privacy policies apply when you use those services. We are not responsible for how an external service handles information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, enquiry process or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows when this version was last updated.
