At the Circus Hub, we recognize that when you attend our facility, you are trusting us with not only your personal safety, but also with your information. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is respected and that your information is secure.
This privacy policy is intended to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect the information that you share with us, and how we protect that information.

We collect personal information in order to allow people to use the Circus Hub safely and provide access to and information about our training and other activities.

With your permission, we may also use your personal information including name and email address for our email marketing. You may opt out of the mailing list at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe link on the bottom of the newsletter, or by sending us an email at info@circus.org.nz.
Promotional Imagery
Consent will always be requested before taking photos or videos during our classes and activities that we may use for promotional purposes.
CCTV
The Circus Hub has installed CCTV cameras in plain sight, in the main training areas, the entrances, the seating/bag areas, and office. There is no CCTV in the toilets or changing areas.
The cameras record 24/7 with motion flagging. Their primary purpose is to review Health & Safety incidents after they occur. Recordings may be referenced when theft or damage has occurred. They may also be used for reviews of how to achieve the most effective use of the Circus Hub space.
Older recordings are automatically deleted when expired. Off-site copies may be made and viewed where incidents are noted or suspected. Digital copies may be kept to be available for evidence, as required to Worksafe, the Police, and similar.
Recordings made by the CCTV system are not shared publicly for sales or marketing purposes. They may however be used at the discretion of the Wellington Circus Trust where incidents have occurred, such as in cases of a criminal investigation.
Sharing your personal information
Besides our staff, we share this information with:
-
a booking service provider in order to maintain our booking and payments systems
-
email provider in order to undertake marketing activities
-
law enforcement agencies in order to support relevant investigations
These organisations are also subject to certain obligations with regard to the security of your personal data as processed via their systems.
We will never lease, distribute, rent or sell your personal information unless we have your permission.
