We encourage you to read this policy carefully before submitting any personal information through our website.

Information you provide directly:

  • Full name — provided through our registration form or contact form

  • Message content — any message text you submit through our contact form

Information collected automatically:

  • IP address — collected by our web server when you visit our site
  • Browser type and version — detected through standard HTTP request headers
  • Device information — including operating system, screen resolution, and device type
  • Usage data — pages visited, time spent on each page, referring URL, and navigation patterns
  • Cookies and similar technologies — as described in Section 10 of this policy and in our Cookie Policy

3 How We Collect Data

We collect personal data through the following methods and channels:

  • Website forms: When you fill out our webinar registration form on the homepage or the contact form on our contact page, you voluntarily provide your name, email address, and (for the contact form) a message. This data is transmitted securely to our server.
  • Cookies: Our website uses essential cookies to remember your cookie consent preference. If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics to collect aggregated usage data about how visitors interact with our website. See Section 10 for full details.
  • Analytics tools: Google Analytics processes usage data to help us understand visitor behavior patterns, popular pages, and general demographic trends. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify individual users in our analytics reports.
  • Server logs: Our hosting provider automatically records standard server access logs, which include your IP address, the date and time of your visit, the pages requested, and the HTTP status codes returned. These logs are maintained for security monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.

5 How We Use Data

We use the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:

  • Service delivery: To process your webinar registration, send you session access links, provide event reminders, and deliver the educational content you have signed up for.
  • Communication: To respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form and to provide you with information you have specifically requested about our educational programs.
  • Analytics and improvement: To understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most visited, and where we can improve the user experience. This is done through aggregated, anonymized data wherever possible.
  • Legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes, including responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
  • Security: To protect our website against unauthorized access, detect and prevent fraud, and maintain the integrity of our systems.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails. Any communication you receive from us relates directly to the webinar series you registered for or the inquiry you submitted.

6 Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. The specific retention periods are:

Data Type Retention Period
Webinar registration data (name, email) 12 months after the webinar series concludes
Contact form submissions (name, email, message) 24 months from the date of submission
Server access logs (IP address, request data) 6 months
Analytics cookies 13 months from the date the cookie is set
Cookie consent preference (localStorage) Persistent until manually cleared by the user

Once these retention periods expire, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you. If you request erasure of your data before the retention period ends, we will process your request promptly (see Section 9).

7 Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party. We share personal data only with the following categories of service providers, strictly as necessary to operate our website and deliver our educational services:

  • Hosting provider: Our website is hosted on secure servers. The hosting provider processes server logs and stores form submission data on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
  • Analytics provider (Google Analytics): If you consent to analytics cookies, anonymized usage data is processed by Google to generate website performance reports. Google acts as a data processor under our instructions. We use IP anonymization to further protect your privacy.
  • Email service provider: We may use a third-party email delivery service to send webinar registration confirmations and session details. This provider processes your name and email solely for the purpose of delivering these messages on our behalf.

All third-party service providers are contractually obligated to protect your personal data and to process it only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection laws. We do not permit any third party to use your personal data for their own marketing purposes.

We may also disclose personal data if required by law, such as in response to a valid court order, regulatory investigation, or other lawful request from a public authority.

8 International Transfers

Some of the third-party service providers we use (such as Google for analytics) may process data outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). When personal data is transferred to countries that have not received an adequacy decision from the UK government or the European Commission, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

These safeguards include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission and adopted for UK use, as well as the data processing agreements we have with each service provider. These contractual measures ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection regardless of where it is processed.

You may request a copy of the safeguards we rely on for international data transfers by contacting us at the email address provided in Section 13.

9 Your Rights (GDPR Articles 15-22)

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. You may exercise any of these rights at no cost by contacting us at [email protected].

Right of Access (Article 15)

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to receive information about how it is being processed.

Right to Rectification (Article 16)

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure (Article 17)

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data when there is no compelling reason for its continued processing, such as when you withdraw consent or when the data is no longer needed for its original purpose.

Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18)

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or have objected to processing.

Right to Data Portability (Article 20)

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller where processing is based on consent or contract performance.

Right to Object (Article 21)

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. If you object, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

We will respond to all rights requests within 30 days of receipt. If a request is particularly complex or numerous, we may extend this period by up to two additional months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it within the initial 30-day period.

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. You can reach the ICO at ico.org.uk or by calling their helpline.
