The right to disclose your personal information also applies in cases where we are under any legal or regulatory duty to do so, or if we are required to protect the rights, property or safety of iN training Ltd., its personnel, users, visitors or others.

  1. How will iN training Ltd. keep my personal information safe?

In order to protect and keep safe your personal information to the best of our ability, we implement the appropriate technical and organisational measures, such as protecting your payment information against unauthorised access by using a secure server (provided your browser accepts HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) encryption).

Where applicable, third parties used to process personal information are required to ensure the safety of your information.

Be aware that voluntarily posting your personal information on public areas of our site, where they exist, may be collected and used by others, something that is out of our control. Therefore, please be careful about the personal information you disclose and where you disclose it.

  1. Lawful bases

Under EU law, the GDPR requires that we rely on one or more lawful bases when using your personal information. We consider the following grounds to be relevant:

    1. Where we have your consent to use your personal information for a particular purpose, such as when you require reasonable adjustments and/or special considerations when undertaking a qualification.
    2. Where it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, such as where regulatory bodies governing our work and services require access to this shared personal information.
    3. Where necessary in fulfilling a contract to which you are party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract, such as when providing you with a certified award following your completion of a qualification.
    4. Where there is legitimate interest in us doing so.
      The GDPR allows for the collection and processing of your personal information if it is deemed reasonably necessary in achieving our or other’s legitimate interests, provided that the processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact your individual rights.
      Our “legitimate interests” broadly refers to our interests in the running of iN training Ltd. as a commercial entity and ensuring that appropriate levels of certified awards are granted to candidates in line with our standards. In cases such as this, we consider and balance both positive and negative potential impacts on you and your rights under data protection laws.
      Your personal information will not be used for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you.

  1. Email marketing

iN training Ltd. will not send you marketing emails if you have opted out of receiving them. Any marketing emails we send you will include an unsubscribe link at the end of the email.

You may also email us at [email protected] if you no longer wish to be contacted.

  1. Personal information of children / minors

In the unlikely event of our processing personal data belonging to children or minors, we will not do so without their consent and the consent of a parent/guardian. Appropriate safeguards will be put in place to ensure this personal information is handled securely and with due care.

As a provider of adult education, we do not usually address anyone under the age of 18 (“children”) and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that the personal information of your child(ren) has been provided to us, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children without the verification of parental consent, we will take immediate steps to remove that information from our servers.

  1. Misuse of personal information

Any collection or misuse of personal information supplied to or obtained by us in an improper way should be reported immediately as a violation of this Privacy Notice and our terms of practice. Please report it by emailing [email protected].

By accepting this Privacy Notice, you agree to not misuse any personal information available on or through our sites, including not using robots or other automated scripts, codes or functionalities to do so.

If we become aware of any breach of the applicable terms and conditions of use or this Privacy Notice, we may immediately suspend or terminate your access to our site without notice.

  1. Exercising your rights 

You may withdraw your consent to our use of your personal information and data at any time. This includes “opting out” of email marketing campaigns.

You may write to us at any time to request a copy of the personal information which we hold on you. This can be provided once we have confirmed your identity and are satisfied of your entitlement to have access to the personal information requested. Likewise, if you wish for your personal data to be erased, rectified or restricted, please get in contact with us.

  1. Changes to this Privacy Notice
