Privacy Policy
Last updated 9 November 2026
What we collect
For students: your name, contact details, age, school and location, year level, academic achievement, attendance percentage, subjects, career interests, workshop preferences and your motivation statement, plus parent or guardian contact details where required. For organisations: organisation details, contact people, health and safety and accreditation information, and workshop listings.
Why we collect it
To assess eligibility for the programme, to confirm a student's place in a workshop, to keep attendees safe, and to send you updates about your application, workshops and notifications you have asked for.
Who can see it
Students see only their own profile and registrations. Organisations see the registrations for their own workshops, limited to the student's name, year level and school. Academic grades and attendance information are visible only to Shorter Paths administrators. We do not publish student personal information.
Storage and security
Information is stored in a secured database with role-based access controls. Access is limited to people who need it to run the programme. We keep records only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by law.
Sharing
We share a student's name, year level and school with the organisation delivering a workshop the student has registered for. We may contact a student's school to verify academic and attendance information. We do not sell personal information.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020 you may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it. You may also ask us to delete information we no longer need. Email hello@shorterpaths.co.nz and we will respond within 20 working days.
Students under 16
Where a student is under 16, we ask for parent or guardian contact details and confirmation of awareness at registration, and we may seek guardian consent before a workshop.
