Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when creating an account, enrolling in our corporate finance programmes, or contacting our support team. This includes your name, email address, phone number, professional background, and payment details for course enrolment.

Automatically Collected Information

Our platform automatically collects certain information about your device and usage patterns. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on different sections, and how you navigate through our learning materials.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to provide and improve our corporate finance education services. Your data helps us personalise learning experiences, track your progress through financial analysis modules, and provide relevant career guidance for analyst roles.

Educational Purposes

Your learning data helps us understand which concepts in corporate finance prove most challenging for students. We analyse this information to improve our curriculum, develop better explanations for complex financial models, and create more effective assessment methods.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We work with carefully selected service providers to deliver our educational platform. These partners include payment processors, cloud hosting services, and analytics providers who help us understand how students engage with our content.

All third-party partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and can only process your data for the specific purposes we authorise. We conduct regular reviews to ensure these partners maintain appropriate security standards.

Your Rights and Choices

Under UK data protection laws, you have several rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to all data we hold about you, including your learning progress records and any communications with our support team.

Data Subject Rights

You may request corrections to inaccurate information or ask us to delete your account entirely. We'll honour deletion requests while retaining necessary records for legal compliance, such as payment receipts and certificate issuance records.

Data Security Measures

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. Our systems use industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage, with regular security audits conducted by independent specialists.

Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorised personnel who require it for their role. We maintain detailed logs of data access and regularly review permissions to ensure minimal necessary access principles are followed.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Learning progress data is typically kept for seven years after course completion to support career development and potential future enquiries about your qualifications.

Financial transaction records are retained according to UK accounting standards, while communications logs are generally deleted after three years unless they relate to ongoing support matters or legal requirements.

Account Deletion Process

When you request account deletion, we begin the process immediately but may require up to 30 days to completely remove all traces of your data from our systems and backup storage. Some information may be retained in anonymised form for statistical purposes.

International Data Transfers

While our primary operations are based in the United Kingdom, some of our service providers may process data in other countries. We ensure adequate protection through approved transfer mechanisms and require all international partners to maintain equivalent security standards.

Any transfers outside the UK follow strict protocols established under current data protection regulations. We regularly review our international processing arrangements to ensure continued compliance with evolving privacy laws.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies to enhance your learning experience and remember your preferences. Essential cookies enable core functionality like maintaining your login session and tracking course progress through different modules.

We also use analytics cookies to understand how students interact with our content, which helps us identify areas where learners might be struggling and improve our educational materials accordingly. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Changes to This Policy

We review this privacy policy annually and update it when necessary to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or industry best practices. Significant changes will be communicated through email notifications to active users at least 30 days before implementation.
