Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal information. We rely on several legal bases depending on the specific processing activity.
Most of our processing is based on your consent when you register for our services, or on our legitimate interests in providing quality financial education. For certain activities, we may process data to fulfil contractual obligations or comply with legal requirements.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We don't sell your personal information to anyone. However, we may share your data with trusted partners who help us deliver our services, always under strict confidentiality agreements.
Service Providers
We work with carefully selected third parties who provide essential services like cloud hosting, email delivery, payment processing, and analytics. These providers only access the minimum data necessary to perform their specific functions.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority. This includes cooperating with law enforcement agencies or responding to legitimate legal requests.
Your Privacy Rights
Under UK data protection law, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. You can exercise these rights at any time by contacting us.

Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you, including how it's used and who it's shared with.

Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information in our records.
Erasure
Request deletion of your personal data when it's no longer necessary for the original purpose.

Data Security
We take data security seriously and implement multiple layers of protection to safeguard your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Technical Safeguards
Our platform uses industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage. We regularly update our security systems and conduct vulnerability assessments to maintain robust protection against emerging threats.
Access Controls
Only authorised personnel can access your personal data, and they're bound by strict confidentiality agreements. We use role-based access controls and monitor all data access activities.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

- Course progress data: Kept for 5 years to support ongoing learning and certification
- Communication records: Maintained for 2 years for customer service purposes
- Marketing data: Deleted immediately upon withdrawal of consent
After retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymise your data. Some information may be retained longer if required by law or for legitimate business purposes like fraud prevention.
International Data Transfers
While we primarily store your data within the UK and European Economic Area, some of our service providers may process data outside these regions. When this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
All international transfers are protected by adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other legally approved transfer mechanisms that ensure your data receives equivalent protection regardless of location.
