3. How We Collect Data

We collect personal data through the following methods:

  • Forms: When you fill in our webinar registration form or contact form, you directly provide us with your name and email address. On the contact page, you may also provide a message.
  • Cookies: When you visit our website, we use essential cookies to ensure the site functions properly. If you provide consent, we may also use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. See Section 10 for full details.
  • Analytics tools: If you consent to analytics cookies, we may use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data about website traffic and visitor behavior. This helps us improve the user experience.
  • Server logs: Our web hosting provider automatically collects certain technical data (such as IP addresses and browser information) through server access logs. This data is collected for security monitoring and to maintain the operational integrity of our website.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR (Article 6), we must have a valid legal basis for processing your personal data. We rely on the following legal bases depending on the type of processing:

Consent (Article 6(1)(a))

When you voluntarily submit your name and email through our registration form, you provide consent for us to process that data for the purpose of sending you webinar access details. You also consent to analytics cookies if you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

Legitimate Interest (Article 6(1)(f))

We have a legitimate interest in collecting technical and usage data to ensure the security and performance of our website, to protect against fraud and unauthorized access, and to improve the quality of our educational content and user experience. We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights and freedoms.

Contract Performance (Article 6(1)(b))

When you register for our webinar, processing your name and email is necessary to fulfil our obligation to provide you with the webinar access details, session links, and related communications you have requested.

5. How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data exclusively for the following purposes:

  • Webinar delivery: To process your registration, send you confirmation emails, provide webinar session links, and share session reminders.
  • Responding to inquiries: To reply to messages you submit through the contact form with relevant information or assistance.
  • Analytics and improvements: To understand website traffic patterns and improve the structure, content, and functionality of our website (only if you consent to analytics cookies).
  • Security and legal compliance: To maintain the security of our website, prevent misuse, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not use your personal data for marketing purposes beyond webinar-related communications. We will never send you unsolicited promotional emails or share your data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Specific retention periods are as follows:

If you request deletion of your data before the retention period ends, we will comply with your request within 30 days, subject to any legal obligations that may require us to retain certain information.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal data with third parties for their own purposes. We may share your data only with the following categories of service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering our services:

  • Hosting providers: Our website is hosted by a third-party hosting provider that stores data on secure servers. They process technical data as part of hosting our site.
  • Analytics providers: If you consent to analytics cookies, anonymized usage data may be processed by Google Analytics (operated by Google LLC) to generate aggregated website performance reports.

All third-party service providers are contractually obligated to process your data only on our instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection laws. They are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

We may also disclose your data if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or the public.

8. International Data Transfers

Your personal data is primarily stored and processed within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, some of our service providers (such as Google Analytics) may process data outside the UK and EEA.

Where your data is transferred to a country outside the UK or EEA that does not benefit from an adequacy decision by the UK Secretary of State, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These safeguards include Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the relevant authorities, supplemented by additional technical and organizational measures where necessary. You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting us at the email address provided below.
