In order to process Personal Information, Town Centre might ask for consent in writing, application form or in person or over the telephone. Town Centre may determine that, by the parents or guardians enrolling their child, or staff joining Town Centre, consent has been implied for Town Centre to deal with Personal Information of all members of the Town Centre community with respect and confidentiality.
