  1. What is this Notice About & Why Should You Read It?

 

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of persons for whom we process personal data. In this privacy notice we explain how we will treat personal data processed by us, in accordance with data protection legislation.

 

  1. What Types of Personal Data Do We Process and What are the Purposes of the Processing?

 

We process the following types and categories of personal data:

 

  • You or your parents/guardians email address and your password
  • Your name and date of birth
  • Payment details for payment, through a third-party provider
  • Any personal data which you elect to upload onto the virtual learning platform
  • Communications between you and your instructor
  • Your progress through the learning system

 

From time to time we need to process special category data about people. We will only process special category personal data when allowed to do so by law, including where you have given us consent to do so, where it is necessary in order to enable us to carry out our obligations and specific rights in the field of employment, social security and social protection law, in order to protect a person’s vital interests or if the data has already manifestly been made public by you. We may also process this type of data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim. There are certain other exceptions which exist in law, and we reserve the right to rely on these exceptions, if and when required, but do not envisage such processing of special category personal data taking place within our organisation.

 

We will only process personal data which is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the processing purposes.

 

  1. Where Do We Obtain Your Personal Data From?

 

  • Data Which We Collect From You Directly

 

The majority of the personal data which we process is obtained from you directly.

 

 

  • Data Which We May Obtain From Others

 

We do not routinely receive or process personal data about you from any other organisation. If we do process such personal data, we shall do so in accordance with the law.

 

Please note that if you are disclosing personal data regarding another person to us, you must first obtain that person’s consent for both the disclosure and the processing by us of that personal data, unless another lawful basis exists for such a disclosure, such as a legal obligation. You are responsible for ensuring that you are authorised to disclose any such data to us.

 

 

  1. What Lawful Bases Do We Have For Processing Your Personal Data?

 

We process your personal data on a number of lawful bases, namely:

 

  • The performance of contract, or to enter into pre-contractual negotiations;
  • In order for us to comply with a legal obligation imposed upon us;
  • In order for us to protect your vital interests or those of another person
  • In our legitimate interests; and/or
  • With your consent. Where the lawful basis for our processing your personal data is consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

  • to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset that we are (or are contemplating) selling;
  • to another organisation if we enter into a joint venture or merge with another organisations.

 

If we wish or need to share your special category personal data with another organisation, we will only do so if we have either obtained your consent or we are required or allowed to do so by law.

 

  1. Transferring Your Data Outside of the European Economic Area/The UK

 

Where we need to transfer and/or share personal data to countries and/or organisations outside of the European Economic Area, we only do so in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’).

We will only process your personal data for the purpose or purposes stated, and this data shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for such purpose or purposes.

 

Unless we advise you otherwise, we will retain your personal data in accordance with our retention of records policy, which is based upon legal requirements and/or best practice.

 

  1. Security of Personal Data

 

We will take reasonable technical and organisational measures and precautions so as to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal data.

 

We will store all of the personal data which we process in paper records, on our servers and/or in the Cloud.

 

Please note that the transmission of any type of information over the internet is inherently insecure. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
