We collect personal data through the following methods:
We process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds under Article 6 of the UK GDPR:
When you submit our registration form or accept analytics cookies, you provide explicit consent for us to process your personal data for those specific purposes. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
Processing your name and email is necessary to fulfill the webinar registration, deliver access links, session schedules, and related communications that you requested when signing up for our free educational event.
We have a legitimate interest in maintaining the security and proper functioning of our website, analyzing aggregated usage patterns to improve our educational content, and responding to inquiries submitted through our contact form.
We use the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:
We send webinar-related emails only. We do not send marketing emails, promotional offers, or newsletters unless you have separately and explicitly opted in to receive them. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable law. The specific retention periods for each type of data are:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Registration data (name, email) | 2 years from the webinar date | To provide access to session recordings and handle follow-up inquiries |
| Contact form data (name, email, message) | 2 years from submission | To maintain records of correspondence and respond adequately |

| Essential cookies | Session-based or up to 12 months | Required for website functionality and remembering cookie preferences |
| Server logs (IP address, browser info) | 90 days | Security monitoring and troubleshooting |
Once the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you. If you request deletion of your data before the retention period ends, we will honor that request promptly unless we are legally required to retain the data.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We may share your data only with the following categories of recipients, strictly for the purposes outlined in this policy:
All third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf are selected carefully, are bound by data processing agreements, and are required to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures.
Your personal data is primarily stored and processed within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). In certain circumstances, data may be transferred to countries outside the UK or EEA when using third-party service providers (for example, if our analytics or email delivery provider operates servers in the United States or other jurisdictions).
Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), or reliance on adequacy decisions by the UK government confirming that the recipient country provides an adequate level of data protection. You may request a copy of the safeguards in place by contacting us at [email protected].
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights concerning your personal data. You may exercise any of these rights at no charge by contacting us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data or complete any incomplete data we hold about you.
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, when you withdraw consent, or when there is no other legal ground for processing.
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing based on legitimate interest.
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interest. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
If you believe that we have not handled your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). You can contact the ICO through their website at ico.org.uk or by telephone at 0303 123 1113.
