We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation.
9. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?
For the purposes of operating this website We will store or transfer some of your personal data securely within the UK where the provisions of the Data Protection Legislation apply.
We may store some of your personal data on secure servers within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. In this area personal data must to be protected under the Data Protection Legislation, GDPR, and/or to equivalent standards by law.
We may transfer some or all of your personal data to countries that are not part of the European Economic Area. These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that We will take additional steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the Data Protection Legislation. For data transfers to these countries We use special contracts containing Standard contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission. These contracts require the same levels of personal data protection as would apply under the Data Protection Legislation. More information on this is available from the European Commission.
We may transfer your data to a third party based in the USA, in which case, due to the demise of the EU-US Privacy Shield, until satisfactory replacement legislative provision is in place, we will treat the USA in the same way as a third country. More information on this is available from the European Commission.
Please contact Us using the details below in Part 15 for further information about the particular data protection mechanisms used by Us when transferring your personal data to a third country.
The security of your personal data is essential to Us, and to protect your data, We take a number of important measures, including the following:
- limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality;
- procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data) including notifying you and/or the Information Commissioner’s Office where we are legally required to do so.
10. Do You Currently Share My Personal Data in other ways?
We may sometimes contract with third parties to supply users of this website with certain products and services, and will then take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, Our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law, as described above in Part 9.
One of our main functions is to provide our users with online training resources, and where You take this up we may share, or they may collect and share with us, your personal data for legitimate training, learning, certification and invoicing purposes. In this case we are jointly responsible with the provider for the security of your personal data.

If We sell, transfer, or merge parts of Our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to the new enterprise. We will oblige any new owner of the business to provide security for your personal data in accordance with the Data Protecton Legislation.

In particular, We aim to give you strong controls on Our use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from Us which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in Our emails, at the point of providing your details and by managing your Account).
- You may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service (“the TPS”), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (“the CTPS”), and the Mailing Preference Service (“the MPS”). These may help to prevent you receiving unsolicited marketing. Please note, however, that these services will not prevent you from receiving marketing communications that you have consented to receiving.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover Our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it. Normally, We aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data well within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date We receive your request.
