Purpose of use

Why We Use Data

We use personal data to provide and improve the website, deliver personal development courses, manage registrations and accounts, process transactions, communicate with users, personalise content where appropriate, monitor performance, maintain security, prevent misuse, and comply with legal and record-keeping obligations. We may also use limited technical data to troubleshoot problems and understand how the site is accessed.

We process data only for operational, service, and compliance purposes.
Third-party sharing

Service Providers and Partners

We may share personal data with hosting, analytics, payment, communications, and technical support providers that help us run the website and deliver courses. These parties are expected to use the information only for the services they provide to us and to protect it through appropriate contractual and operational safeguards. We do not authorise them to use the data for their own unrelated purposes.

Service providers receive only the information needed to perform their functions.
User Rights

Your Rights

Depending on your location and the circumstances, you may be able to request access to your data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion in limited cases, restriction of certain processing, or objection to some uses. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it for future processing. Some requests may be limited where we must keep information for legal, security, or contractual reasons.

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

How to Make a Request

To make a privacy request, please use the contact details in this policy and describe the information or action you are asking for. We may ask for enough information to confirm your identity and locate the relevant records. If a request is refused in whole or in part, we will explain the reason where required by law.

We may need to verify identity before acting on a request.
Data Retention

How Long We Keep Data

We retain personal data for the period needed to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal, tax, or accounting obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete it, anonymise it, or restrict it so it is no longer actively used, subject to applicable retention rules and technical limitations.

We keep information only for as long as it is needed for the stated purpose or a legal requirement.
Policy Updates

Changes to This Policy

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

We may revise this notice to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes.

Our site may use essential cookies to support core functions, preference cookies to remember settings, and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used.
