- Telephone activity.
- Letters and emails.

- Web enquiries and registrations.
- Course Registrations.
What personal data do we collect?
The personal data we collect depends on whether you just visit our website or use our services. If you visit our website, you do not need to provide us with any personal data. However, your browser transmits some data automatically, such as the date and time of retrieval of one of our web pages, your browser type and settings, your operating system, the last web page you visited, the data transmitted and the access status, and your IP address.
If you use our services, personal data is required to fulfil the requirements of a contractual or service relationship, which may exist between you and our organisation.

How do we look after personal data?
We limit the amount of personal data collected only to what is fit for the purpose, as described above. We restrict, secure and control all of our information assets against unauthorised access, damage, loss or destruction; whether physical or electronic. We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for each purpose, to respond to your requests, or longer if required by law. If we retain your personal data for historical or statistical purposes, we ensure that personal data cannot be used further. While in our possession, together with your assistance, we try to maintain the accuracy of your personal data.
Purpose for which information will be processed
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use data in the following circumstances:
- Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending direct marketing communications to you via email. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us. We do not share data for marketing purposes with third parties.
Who will information be shared with?
It may be necessary to share information with parties including those detailed below. In each case, only necessary information is shared.
- Subcontractors/suppliers/service providers who support us in delivering our services to you.
- Professional advisors including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, legal, insurance and accounting services
- Relevant government departments as required, i.e. HMRC
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes
How long do we hold information?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, training, funding or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Legal rights relating to information held
Under certain circumstances, you have rights in relation to your personal data. You have the right to request access to any of your personal data that the company hold and if any of that information is incorrect or out of date you have the right to have that data corrected.
You also have the right to request your personal data is erased where it is no longer necessary to retain such data. Where there is a dispute in relation to the accuracy or processing of your personal data, you have the right to request a restriction is placed on further processing. You also have the right to object to the processing of personal data, dependent on the purpose that the company holds the information.
Where it may have been necessary to get your consent to use your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent. If you withdraw your consent, we will cease using your personal data without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before your withdrawal. Where you have previously given your consent to process your personal data, you also have the right to request that we port or transfer your personal data to a different service provider or to yourself, if you so wish.
Requests should be made to the data controller via dpo@edgeworks.co.uk.
Data security
We are committed to being transparent and taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure we handle data appropriately, keep it secure and to protect it from misuse, loss, or unauthorised access. We do this by having in place a range of appropriate technical and organisational security measures including daily backups, which are securely stored off-site.
In addition, we limit access to personal data to those parties who have a business need requiring their access. They will only process your personal data in line with our policies and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Any suspected breaches will be notified to those affected and the regulator where we are legally required to do so.
As EdgeWorks™ develops and operates on a global basis, it may also be necessary to transfer your data to suppliers/service providers where we rely on development, storage, system and administrative support from outside the European Economic Area, therefore, the processing of your data may involve a transfer of data to countries outside of the United Kingdom.
We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is processed securely. We will only transfer personal information outside the EEA where it is compliant with applicable data protection legislation and the means of transfer provides adequate safeguards in relation to your personal information.
