Why do we process this information?
Employees of Customers and Suppliers - We use the personal data of the employees of our customers and suppliers to contact them about the work we are doing for them or the work they are doing for us. We have either a legitimate interest or contractual legal basis to process this information in order to keep doing business and provide the services that we offer. The personal data will generally be limited to employee contact details only. We will use these contact details to send information about other products and services from time to time. This is because we have a legitimate interest in promoting our service but we will always provide the individual receiving the message with the option to opt out of receiving our messages.
Employees of Potential Customers - We want to tell people about our services and believe that we have a legitimate interest to do so. We will use the contact details of business contacts to send information about our services and events we hold from time to time. Again, this is because we have a legitimate interest in promoting our service, but we will always provide the individual receiving the message with the option to opt out of receiving our messages.
Our training Course Delegates / Attendees - We use the personal data of course delegates / attendees in order to provide our services, consultancy and course delivery. Our legal basis for doing so, is contractual as we deem it as necessary for the performance of a contract entered into by both parties.
Training Course Delegate / Attendee Registration forms for our Clients - We use the personal data of our client course delegates / attendees in order to provide our services, consultancy and course delivery on their behalf. Our legal basis for doing so, is contractual as we deem it as necessary for the performance of a contract entered into by both parties.
Personal Data we Process as part of our Service - We may occasionally have to use the personal data that is being processed by our customers in order to provide our consultancy services. We will only use this for that purpose and no other purpose. It will be held securely and then returned to our customers as soon as it is no longer required for that purpose.
Who do we share your data with?
We will only share personal data as is necessary to provide our services, or where disclosure is required or permitted by law. Examples of organisations who may require us to disclose your personal data are Government Bodies and Law Enforcement Agencies .
Otherwise, data will only be shared with third parties that we trust and only where there are appropriate arrangements in place for sharing data, i.e. data sharing agreements and/or data processing agreements.
These parties are;
Our cloud storage provider, Our I.T. Support Company, Our Accountants and Auditors, Certification Bodies (for the issue of training certificates), Our Legal Advisors/Law Firm and our partner business, RGDP LLP.
All of our data is stored on an internal server and backed up, hourly, on a secure hard drive and in a cloud based storage solution based within the UK.
How long do we keep data?
Employees of Customers and Suppliers - We will hold contact details for as long as we are providing you, or your organisation, with our services or you are providing us with services.
