User Rights

Your Rights

You may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain uses of your personal data, and to request restriction where applicable. You may also be able to ask for a copy of information you have provided. Some requests may be limited where we must keep data for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Available rights depend on the nature of the data and the reason it is held.
Requests

Making a Request

To make a privacy request, provide enough information for us to identify you and understand the issue. We may ask for additional details to verify the request and to locate the relevant records. If a request cannot be fully granted, we will explain the reason in general terms where appropriate.

Requests are reviewed against identity and record-keeping requirements before action is taken.
Data Retention

Retention of Data

We retain personal data for the period needed to operate the site, provide training-related services, maintain records, resolve disputes, and meet legal, accounting, or security obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymise it where practical. Some information may remain in backup or archived systems for a limited period before removal under our routine retention process.

Records are kept only for as long as they are needed for the relevant purpose or legal requirement.
Policy Updates

Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes, we will update this page and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The date of the latest revision should be checked before relying on the policy. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means the updated notice applies.

We review this notice from time to time and keep the current version on the site.

Data We Collect

We may process identifiers and contact details, account or profile information, training preferences, payment or billing records where relevant, correspondence, and technical data such as device type, browser information, and usage logs. We may also process content you submit through forms, enquiries, or feedback features.

The categories collected depend on how the site is used and what information is submitted.

How We Collect Data

We collect personal data directly from you when you complete forms, register for access, request information, or communicate with us. We also receive data automatically from your device and browser when you visit the site, and from service providers that support hosting, analytics, security, and payment-related functions where used.

Information comes from direct submissions, site activity, and limited technical collection tools.

The site may use session cookies, which expire when the browser closes, and persistent cookies, which remain for a set period. Essential cookies support security, navigation, and core functionality. Other cookies may help us understand site performance, remember settings, or improve the user experience. We do not rely on cookies to collect more information than is needed for these purposes.

Cookie use is limited to operational, analytical, and preference-related purposes.

We use browser cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, performance measurement, and, where enabled, preference or analytics features. You can manage cookies through your browser controls and, where available, through on-site settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality or limit certain features.

Cookie settings can usually be adjusted in the browser, and some tools may be disabled without affecting basic access.
