1. Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Leap. We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website ([Insert Website URL]) or use our mentorship and consultation services.

2. Information We Collect

To provide you with the best support, we may collect the following data:

• Identity Data: First name, last name, and role (e.g., Parent, Headteacher).

• Contact Data: Email address, phone number, and billing address.

• Transaction Data: Details about payments and the services you have booked. (Note: We use a secure third-party payment processor and do not store your full credit card details).

• Service Data: Information you provide in booking forms (e.g., your child’s educational needs or your professional goals) and notes taken during our confidential sessions.

• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and how you use our website (gathered via cookies).

3. How We Use Your Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use your data to:

• Perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you (e.g., delivering your session).

• Process payments and manage your bookings.

• Communicate with you regarding your appointments, or send you our newsletter (if you have opted in).

• Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

4. Data Sharing and Security

We do not sell your personal data. We only share it with trusted third-party service providers required to run our business, such as our payment gateway (e.g., Stripe/PayPal), website host, and email provider. We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, accessed, or altered.

5. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

6. Your Legal Rights

Under UK data protection laws, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [Insert Email Address].

2. Terms of Use & Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing our website and booking a session with Leap, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our services.

2. Our Services

Leap provides educational mentorship for professionals and expert consultations for parents and families. Our advice is based on professional experience; however, we do not guarantee specific outcomes (e.g., securing a specific job role or a specific educational placement for a child).

3. Payment & Rescheduling Terms

Securing Your Booking: To confirm and secure your mentorship session or family consultation, full payment must be made at the time of booking via our website. Once payment is processed, you will receive a confirmation email with the details of your scheduled session.

Non-Refundable Policy: We understand that unexpected circumstances arise, especially when working in education or managing family life. However, please note that all payments made for Leap sessions and consultations are strictly non-refundable.

Rescheduling Your Session: If you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment, you will not lose your session. Your booking and payment will simply be carried over to a future date that works for you.

We kindly ask that you provide at least 48 hours' notice if you need to reschedule. This allows us to adjust our calendar and potentially offer that time slot to another professional or family who may need urgent support.

Late Cancellations & Missed Sessions: If a session is missed entirely without prior notice, rescheduling that session will be at the discretion of the Leap team. We encourage you to reach out to us as soon as you know you cannot make your allotted time so we can easily move your appointment to a new date.
