Privacy Policy
At mysite-name, we’re committed to protecting your privacy while you explore your creative potential through our design courses in England. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data, fully complying with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Your trust matters to us, and we’re here to keep your information secure while you learn.
1. What Information We Collect
We collect only the details you voluntarily provide when signing up or inquiring about our design courses. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and preferences like course format (online or in-person) or specific design interests, such as graphic design or UI/UX. If you share additional details, like portfolio preferences or accessibility needs, we’ll use those to tailor your learning experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data helps us make your learning journey smooth and personalized. Specifically, we use it to:
- Respond to your questions about our design courses, from graphic design to Figma.
- Process your course bookings and customize classes to fit your goals.
- Contact you with updates on schedules, course materials, or class reminders.
- Send you relevant offers or updates about new design workshops, but only if you’ve opted in.
We ensure your information is used thoughtfully to enhance your experience, never for unrelated purposes.
3. Securing Your Information
We take your data security seriously. Our systems use industry-standard encryption to protect your information from unauthorized access. Only our trusted team members, trained in UK data protection standards, handle your details. We regularly review our processes to ensure your data remains safe while you focus on mastering design skills.
4. Consent to Data Use
By sharing your details through our website, forms, or direct communication, you consent to us using your information to manage your course bookings and inquiries, as described in this policy. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us, and we’ll respect your preferences.
5. Sharing with Third Parties
We only share your data when it’s essential for delivering our services, such as with trusted partners who handle course logistics (e.g., online platform providers or in-person venue coordinators). We also share data if required by law, such as for tax or regulatory purposes. Any third party we work with is bound by strict agreements to protect your data in line with UK GDPR.
6. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
As a valued learner, you have rights over your data. You can:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct or update any inaccurate details.
- Request deletion of your data when it’s no longer needed for your courses.
- Object to specific ways we use your information, like marketing emails.
To exercise these rights or ask questions, email us at: [email protected]. We’ll respond promptly to ensure your needs are met.
7. Data Retention Period
We keep your data only as long as necessary to manage your course bookings, inquiries, or follow-up communications. Typically, this means retaining your details for the duration of your course and a short period afterward to handle feedback or certificates. After this, we securely delete or anonymize your data, in line with UK data protection regulations.
8. International Data Transfers
If your data needs to be transferred outside the UK (e.g., for online course platforms hosted abroad), we use UK GDPR-compliant safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to ensure your information remains protected. We carefully vet all partners to maintain the same level of security you expect from us.
