CONFIDENTIALITY
We take our data protection obligations very seriously and treat all personal data we receive with respect, ensuring it remains safe and secure. Access to any personal information you give us is strictly limited to only those third parties who need it to perform the agreed specific service.

- you contact us by email, telephone or post, for example when you enquire about our services; or
- you engage us to provide our services and also during the provision of those services;
- you request a proposal from us in respect of the services we provide.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL DATA WE HOLD ABOUT YOU
We may process your personal data for purposes necessary for the delivery of any agreed service.
We may process your personal data for the purposes of our own legitimate interests provided that those interests do not override any of your own interests, rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data. This includes processing for marketing, business development, statistical and management purposes.
We may process your personal data for certain additional purposes with your consent, and in these limited circumstances where your consent is required for the processing of your personal data then you have the right to withdraw your consent to processing for such specific purposes.
We may use your personal data in order to:
- carry out our obligations arising from the provision of our services;
- provide you with information related to our services, events and/or activities that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, provided you have consented to be contacted for such purposes;
- seek your thoughts and opinions on the services we provide; and
- notify you about any changes to our services.
In some circumstances we may anonymise or pseudonymise the personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use it without further notice to you.
DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is collected. When assessing what retention period is appropriate for your personal data, we take into consideration the requirements of our business and the services provided.
DATA SHARING
We may share your personal data with third parties, within and outside the EEA, where it is essential for the delivery of any agreed service, such as appointing a personal tutor to you.
Where services involve a third party (such as a tutor) processing your information, it is always on the basis that they are also complying with the current data protection legislation as applicable and understand that your privacy is respected and protected at all times.
DATA SECURITY
We have put in place commercially reasonable and appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we strictly limit access to your personal data to those third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
