Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)): We have a legitimate interest in collecting technical and usage data to maintain the security and performance of our website, to analyze aggregate traffic patterns, and to improve the quality of our educational content. We have conducted a balancing test to confirm that these interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Communication: To respond to your inquiries submitted through the contact form and to provide you with relevant information about the webinar series you registered for.

We will never use your email address for unsolicited promotional messages, newsletters unrelated to the webinar, or third-party marketing campaigns. Email communication is strictly limited to the webinar series you registered for.

6. Data Retention

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

Webinar registration data (name, email): Retained for 30 days after the webinar series concludes. After this period, all registration data is permanently deleted from our systems.

You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time before the expiry of these retention periods by contacting us at the address provided in Section 13 of this policy.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to any third party. Your personal information is not shared with external organizations for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

In certain limited circumstances, we may share data with the following categories of service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering the webinar series:

Hosting providers: Our website is hosted by a third-party hosting service that processes server data (including IP addresses) as part of delivering web pages to your browser. These providers operate under strict data processing agreements.
Analytics providers: We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated website usage statistics. Google processes this data in accordance with its own privacy policy and under a data processing agreement with us.
Email delivery services: To send webinar confirmations and access links, we may use a third-party email service provider. This provider processes your name and email address solely for the purpose of delivering our messages and is bound by a data processing agreement.

All third-party service providers are contractually obligated to process your data only in accordance with our instructions, to maintain appropriate security measures, and to comply with applicable data protection laws. We may also disclose your personal data if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority.

8. International Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers (such as Google Analytics and our email delivery platform) may process data in locations outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). When your personal data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place.

These safeguards include one or more of the following mechanisms:

Adequacy decisions: Transfers to countries that the UK Secretary of State has determined provide an adequate level of data protection.
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Where no adequacy decision exists, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to ensure that your data receives equivalent protection abroad.

If you would like further details about the specific safeguards applied to any international transfer of your personal data, please contact us using the details in Section 13.
