What information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact details such as your name, email address, telephone number, job title and organisation
• Enquiry details, including the information you provide in a contact form or in an email about your training needs
• Booking and learner information where you or your employer register you onto a programme, including the details we are required to submit to the Chartered Management Institute (CMI)
• Any accessibility or dietary requirements you tell us about, so we can support you properly on a programme
• Marketing preferences, if you subscribe to our updates
• Technical information collected automatically by our website, such as your IP address and browser type

Why we collect it and our lawful basis

We process your personal data in accordance with Article 6 of the UK GDPR. We rely on the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) to respond to your enquiry, to manage our relationship with you and your organisation, and to keep our website secure
• Contract (Article 6(1)(b)) to deliver a programme you or your employer has booked, and to register you with the CMI
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) to send you marketing emails and updates, which you can withdraw at any time
• Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) where we are required to keep records or report information

Where you tell us about a health condition, disability or dietary requirement, this is special category data. We process it under Article 9(2)(a) with your explicit consent, or Article 9(2)(b) where we have an obligation in employment or equalities law.

Who we share your information with

We share information only where we need to. This may include:

• The Chartered Management Institute, for learner registration, assessment and certification
• Associate tutors, assessors and guest speakers delivering your programme
• Our IT, hosting, email and website suppliers, who act on our instructions as data processors
• Your employer, where they have commissioned or funded your place, for attendance and completion information
• Regulatory or public bodies where we are required to do so by law

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry records for two years from your last contact with us. Learner and assessment records are kept for the period required by the CMI and by our own records management policy. Marketing preferences are kept until you unsubscribe.
