Marketing: How to manage the marketing messages you receive

We may send you marketing communications by email if you have indicated that you are happy to receive such emails. Our marketing communications include information about our new and existing services, special offers we think you might like and other training services which we think might be useful to your career.

If you have previously opted-in to receiving emails from us, you can choose what kind of information you want to receive from us, or you can opt out of receiving marketing emails from us at all by clicking on the unsubscribe link which we include in all our marketing emails. You can update your preferences at any time.

Please note that if you tell us that you do not wish to receive marketing emails, you will still receive service emails which are necessary for example to confirm your booking or to update you on the status of your bookings. We will use the contact details you give us when you are booking a course with us (either your mobile telephone number, your email address or both) to provide you with information related to the course you are booked for. This is so that we can perform the contract we have with you.

Please note that if you ask us to stop sending marketing emails, we will keep a note of your personal information and your request so that we can make sure you are excluded from the emails when they are sent out.

 

How long do we keep your data

We keep your data only for as long as we need it. How long we need data depends on what we are using it for, whether that is to provide services to you, for our own legitimate interests (described above) or so that we can comply with the law.

We will actively review the information we hold and when there is no longer a customer, legal or business need for us to hold it, we will either delete it securely or in some cases anonymise it.

How we protect your data

We protect your personal data against unauthorised access, unlawful use, accidental loss, corruption or destruction.

We use technical measures such as encryption and password protection to protect your data and the systems they are held in. We also use operational measures to protect the data, for example by limiting the number of people who have access to the databases in which our booking information is held.

We keep these security measures under review and refer to industry security standards to keep up to date with current best practice.

  • Third-party accreditation partners and our lecturers: To be able to process your exams and issue you with your qualifications
