Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is operationally valuable or required by accrediting bodies (e.g. ILM, EMCC) or law / regulation (e.g. HMRC).

We only share personal data with specific and relevant professional bodies, organisations, team members and associates who deliver relevant services. We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.

Your personal data may end up residing on third-party data processors servers in countries that are outside the UK such as the EEA and USA. However, this will only be done using the highly respected and secure technology solutions highlighted in section 6.

Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Notice and good practice.
