The BURSTS Application

The BURSTS app has been created to help children take part in fun physical activity and develop their physical skills outside of school and enable parents and teachers to keep track of their activity and reward successes.

Schools that purchase the BURSTS app may contact parents to invite them to join, so their children can benefit from the app. Parents / legal guardians will receive an email with a unique ‘join code’ which they use to gain access to their BURSTS account.

The personal information BURSTS collects

• Parent or guardian email address - provided by the school
• Your unique join code, name and password
• Your child’s nickname - provided by parent or guardian
• App usage data - such as activity minutes, progress, rewards & badges

Data from schools

Schools hold certain information about children and their parent/guardian. When a parent/guardian creates an account in the BURSTS app, using their unique join code, we use a secure third party application (Wonde) to enable the school to share the relevant child and teacher details (below) with our own real PE platform. real PE connects securely with the BURSTS app using the student ID - enabling BURSTS app usage (activity) data to be passed to real PE and shared with the school. This enables each child’s activity to be celebrated by their school and support can be provided as appropriate.

The personal information provided by schools and processed by real PE

• Parent or guardian email address from the school, and their unique join code
• Child data from the school - such as name, class, gender, date of birth, nationality, ethnicity, SEND status, Pupil Premium status, EAL status and ECHP status

Disclosure of personal information

We will not share your personal information with any third parties for them to use for their own marketing purposes.

real PE shares information about physical exercise activity, collected via the BURSTS app, with their teachers and the school, as shown in the table above. Whenever it is appropriate to do so, personal information will be minimised and aggregated so it can be viewed anonymously, for example, at class level, or at whole school level.

Before gathering a child’s information or sharing it with their school, we request the consent of the child’s parent or guardian.

We use service providers to host and operate the BURSTS app data services on our behalf. We have contractual arrangements in place with these providers, which include measures and safeguards to protect the data, in accordance with the requirements of UK GDPR.

BURSTS Face Filters: use of your device camera

The BURSTS app makes use of the camera on your device to enable a child to use face filters, as part of the app rewards. Any images taken on your device are stored locally on your device and accessed solely by a parent/child to create a face filter in BURSTS. Images are never stored by BURSTS, nor shared with any other parties.

The use of face filters and the device camera is optional. Access to your camera can be disabled within the iOS/Android settings, if desired. Should you choose to disable the app’s access to the camera you will still be able to use the BURSTS app, but you will not be able to use the face filter rewards.

Updates to this Privacy Notice

We will review and update this Notice regularly to take account of changes to our processing and regulatory changes. We encourage you to review it from time to time. If we make any significant changes, we will endeavour to communicate this to you, where possible.
