6. Retention Periods

We store data on you for different lengths of time depending on the type of user you are and your relationship with the company. We use a combination of criteria to determine how long we keep the different types of data we hold on you.

Some data is required to be held by law and to fulfil our contractual obligations with both you as a customer, and the awarding bodies we work with to certify your qualifications. In other situations, we store your data for as long as we believe there is be a legitimate mutual interest between us, as an existing or prospective customer. You have certain rights under the GDPR to remove, transfer or change this data – please see the ‘Your Data Rights’ section for more information’.

We will not make available or sell your information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, if we sell, assign or transfer the assets of our business, or if our business is merged or enters into a joint venture with another business entity, we reserve the right to sell or transfer the database maintained by us (including any personal information provided by you).

8. Suppliers and Sub-processors

In order for us to provide you with great quality Health and Safety training and an enjoyable browsing experience, we sometimes use services provided by other companies to assist us. These suppliers range from operational (e.g. our accountants), product (e.g. our eLearning providers), to technical (e.g. our Web Hosting provider, online payment providers).

Where necessary, we may share your personal data with these companies for processing in order to fulfil certain services. This is always done in a secure, confidential manner and your data is only held with the company for as long as is necessary in each case. The organisations will also always have appropriate technical and organisational methods in place to protect your data.

9. Location and International Transfers

Your data is largely held and processed within the EEA, however, some of our third-party suppliers, such as hosting providers and other technology-focused service providers, are based in the USA and so store and process data within the USA.
