Our lawful bases for using personal information
We only use personal information where we have a valid legal basis. Depending on the activity, this may include:
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before consent was withdrawn.
How long we keep personal information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance, certification and dispute-resolution requirements.
| Information type | Typical retention approach |
|---|---|
| General enquiries | Kept only as long as needed to respond and manage follow-up. |
| Booking and payment records | Retained for applicable accounting, tax and contractual periods. |
| Attendance and certification records | Retained for the period required by the relevant qualification, awarding body or quality-assurance rules. |
| Marketing records | Kept until consent is withdrawn, an objection is made or the information is no longer needed. |
| Website and security logs | Retained for a limited period according to operational and security needs. |
Exact retention periods may differ depending on the training, qualification, dispute, legal obligation or service provider involved.
How we protect personal information
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
These measures may include access controls, secure systems, password protection, software updates, backups, staff confidentiality and restrictions on who may access learner or booking information.
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use secure passwords and avoid sending sensitive information through insecure channels.
International data transfers
Some service providers may store or process information outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that an appropriate legal transfer mechanism and safeguards are used.
These safeguards may include transfers to countries recognised as providing adequate protection or the use of approved contractual protections.
Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- be informed about how your information is used;
- request access to the personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- ask us to erase information in certain circumstances;
- ask us to restrict how information is used;
- receive certain information in a portable format;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing;
- withdraw consent where processing relies on consent; and
- raise a concern with the Information Commissionerās Office.
These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal or regulatory requirements. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Marketing communications
We may send information about training, services or events where you have consented or where another lawful basis permits us to do so.
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe option in a message or by contacting us at info@altioratraining.co.uk.
We may retain a limited suppression record after you opt out so that we can respect your preference.
Children and young people
Our services may include training relevant to organisations working with children, but this website is not intended to collect personal information directly from children without appropriate adult involvement.
Where a learner is under 18, we may require information or authorisation from a parent, guardian, school, employer or responsible organisation, depending on the training and legal requirements.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, systems, legal obligations or data practices change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised āLast updatedā date.
