We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and other applicable data protection legislation. This policy describes your rights regarding your personal data and how you can exercise them.
When you interact with our website, we may collect the following categories of personal data:
We collect personal data through the following methods:
We do not use any Meta (Facebook/Instagram) tracking pixels, retargeting technologies, or third-party advertising cookies on this website.
We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds under Article 6 of the UK GDPR:
When you voluntarily submit your name and email address through our registration form, you consent to the processing of that data for the specific purpose of organizing your webinar registration and sending you the webinar link and related details. You also consent to the use of analytics cookies when you accept cookies through our cookie consent banner.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring the security and proper functioning of our website, preventing fraud, and understanding general website usage patterns through anonymised analytics data. We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms and ensure they do not override your privacy.
When you register for our free webinar, we process your data to fulfil our obligation to provide you with the webinar access details, including session dates, times, and the participation link. This processing is necessary to deliver the educational service you have registered for.
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
We do not use your personal data for marketing purposes beyond sending webinar-related emails that you explicitly signed up for. We do not send newsletters, promotional offers, or third-party advertisements.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. The specific retention periods are as follows:

| Webinar registration data (name, email) | 6 months after the final webinar session |
| Contact form submissions (name, email, message) | 2 years from the date of submission |
| Cookie consent preferences | 13 months from the date consent was given |
| Analytics data (anonymised) | 26 months |
| Server logs (IP address, access records) | 90 days |
After the applicable retention period expires, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you. If you request deletion of your data before the retention period ends, we will comply with your request within 30 days, unless we have a legal obligation to retain it.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to any third party. We may share your data only with the following categories of recipients, and only to the extent necessary:
We may also disclose personal data if required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
Your personal data is primarily processed and stored within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). In some cases, data may be transferred to countries outside the UK and EEA, for example, when using analytics or email delivery services with servers located 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:
You may request further details about the specific safeguards applied to international transfers of your data by contacting us at [email protected].

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes (Article 21).
Where we process your data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew your consent.
