Privacy Notice:

This e-learning compliance site is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information and complies with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) effective from May 2018 and we are registered with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), in order to make transparent our data handling practices.

Good information handling makes good business sense and will enhance our reputation and by making sure personal information is accurate, relevant and safe, save both time and money.

We act as a Data Controller as we keep or process information about living people and hold it on a computer and must comply with certain important rules about how we collect and use personal information.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We must have a valid lawful basis in order to process a person’s data and be able to demonstrate the processing of data is “necessary” in order to provide our products and services.

We process on the basis of the following:

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS - We only aim to capture and hold data to evidence that an individual has completed a task, training course, quiz, or module on our e-learning compliance site that may be required to be seen by a regulator such as the Financial Conduct Authority, Health and Safety Executive, Finance Lender, Green Deal body etc., or by an organisation as part of their training and ongoing awareness programme. This is likely to be for an individual working on behalf of an organisation to evidence that their staff have taken part and completed certain areas of compliance. We would obtain this information, record it, store it and share it with the individual themselves and the organisation they work for or represent.

We do not process special category data.

Collection of Information – Your consent

We may collect personal information from you if you provide it voluntarily. If you do provide personal information to use, we will assume that you have read this Privacy Notice and have consented to us using your personal information in the ways described in this Policy and at the point where you give us your personal information. If, after providing us with personal information, you later decide that you do not want us to use it for particular purposes, then please write to us at the address shown.

We will only request and collect information which is necessary or reasonable in order to provide you with your requested services and to improve the services that we provide. It will not be a requirement to provide any additional information which is not needed to provide the services.

We keep records of individual’s up to date and do not keep it longer than necessary.

In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, we may disclose personal information held by us to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets. If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, personal information held by us will be one of the transferred assets.

Your personal information may also be used by us, our employees or agents if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce any agreement we have with or otherwise concerning you, or to protect our rights, property or safety or those of our customers, employees or other third parties.

With whom do we share your personal information?

Only with you and the third-party organisations who have contracted to use the e-learning facility to evidence that their staff have attended or completed certain tasks, modules, training courses or assessments.
