Parents or guardians should ensure that the information submitted for a minor is accurate and that they are authorised to provide it.
ART of may contact the parent or guardian to verify consent, participation arrangements, safeguarding information or other matters relevant to the minor’s application and attendance.
9. Application decisions
Admission and scholarship decisions are made through individual human assessment.
ART of does not use solely automated decision-making or automated profiling to determine admission or scholarship awards.

- randomly generated stored filenames

11. Email notifications and communication
After an application is submitted, ART of may receive an administrative email containing the application reference and relevant application information.

15. Photographs, videos and media use
Photographs and videos submitted as part of an application are used to assess the application. Their submission does not automatically authorise promotional publication.
Possible use of participant photographs or recordings for websites, social media, publicity or other promotional purposes is handled separately and requires an appropriate legal basis or consent where required.

The destination countries and applicable safeguards may depend on the service provider used at the time of processing.
18. Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected or for an applicable legal, contractual, safeguarding or evidential requirement.

ART of may retain limited information where processing is required by law or remains necessary for accounting, contractual obligations, safeguarding, outstanding payments, dispute resolution or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where possible, information that is no longer required will be deleted or anonymised.
