Enquiring about our products and services or asking for our materials online

When you contact us enquiring about our products and services, we will collect whatever information is necessary prior to taking steps to enter into a contract with you.

This information will typically include the name and place of work of key contacts in your organisation and their contact details. We will also process any information you submit via our online forms. We may also process any other information that we have legitimately collected about you in relation to our other services (such as whether your business has paid for our training courses in the past) where this other purpose was known to you at the point of data collection. This information would only be processed in relation to engaging in a contract at your request.

Contacting you after a referral

When we contact you at the request of someone else, we will always tell you who we are and where we got your information from. We will do this as soon as is reasonably possible and no later than 28 days after first receiving your contact details. Wherever possible, we will ask the person referring you to us to make the introduction or to check with you whether it is ok for us to call you first.

The information that we will have processed prior to that point will be likely minimal and will include your name, job title/ place of work and a contact point such as an email or telephone number.

The lawful basis we rely on when contacting you about our products or services at the request of someone else will be different depending on the context. For the most part, it will be in our legitimate interest to do so and you can request that we stop processing your data. Where you have agreed for us to get in touch, we will be doing so based on your consent and you can withdraw this at any time.

You apply for a job with us

If we advertise a job posting or you are interested in working as a contractor for us, we may process some of your personal data so as to take steps to enter into a contract with you.

Typically, we will process your name, contact information and your CV and cover letter. Depending on the route you came into us, we may also look at your publicly available profiles in advance of an interview, such as a LinkedIn page or a professional Twitter account. We will also contact those you offered as a reference for you.

If you let us know about a disability or health condition (or provide us with any other special category data), we will do so under our legal obligations in relation to employment and equality laws.
