Our role in your privacy

If you are an ALC customer, subscriber, or just visiting our website, this policy applies to you.

Our responsibilities

If you are an ALC customer or a visitor to our website, we act as the data controller of personal data. What does this mean? We determine how and why your data is processed. We are registered as a data controller at the UK Information Commissioner's Office, reference number ZA789059.

Your responsibilities

  • Read this privacy policy
  • If you are a customer, please also check the contracts between us; they may contain further details on how we collect and process your data.
  • If you provide us with personal information about other people, or if others give us your information, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us. By submitting the information, you confirm that you have the right to authorise us to process it on your behalf in accordance with this privacy policy.

What about children's data?

ALC is a business-to-business service directed to and intended for use only by those who are 18 years of age or over. We do not target our services to children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from any person under 16 years of age

How we use your data

Data protection law means that we can only use your data for specific reasons and where we have a legal basis for doing so. Here are the bases for which we process your data:

Keeping ALC running

Managing your requests (like inviting users, sending a contract to sign, connecting your training account), login and authentication, remembering your settings, processing payments and back-end infrastructure.

Legal basis: contractlegitimate interests

Improving ALC services

Legal basis for this data usage:contract

Marketing purposes (with your consent)

Sending you emails and messages about new features, products and services, and content.

Legal basis for this data usage: consent

Here is what each of these "legal bases" means:

Consent

You have given clear consent for you to process your personal data for a specific purpose.

You can change your mind!

If you have previously given consent to our processing your data, you can freely withdraw such consent at any time. You can do this by emailing us at dpo@ascot.london.

If you do withdraw your consent and do not have another legal basis for processing your information, we will stop processing your personal data. If we have another legal basis for processing your information, we may continue to do so subject to your legal rights.

Contract

Processing your data is necessary for a contract you have with us or because we have asked you to take specific steps before entering into that contract.

Legitimate interests

Processing your data is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, provided your rights and interests do not outweigh those interests. These legitimate interests are:

  • gaining insights from your behaviour on our website or in our app
  • delivering, developing and improving the ALC service
  • enabling us to enhance, customise or modify our services and comms
  • determining whether marketing campaigns are effective
  • enhancing data security

In each case, these legitimate interests are only valid if your rights and interests do not outweigh them.

Your privacy choices and rights

Your choices

You can choose not to provide us with personal data

If you decide to do this, you can continue to use the website and browse its pages, but we will not be able to ensure our website will interact with you in the way it is intended without personal data.

You can turn off cookies in your browser by changing its settings

You can block cookies by activating a setting on your browser, allowing you to refuse cookies. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. If you turn off cookies, you can continue to use the website and browse its pages, but certain services may not work effectively. As we cannot access any personal data about you ourselves, we are not the Data Controller for your Google Analytics profile data. You would need to contact Google directly for this information.

You can ask us not to use your data for marketing

We will inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for marketing and if third parties are involved. You can opt-out of marketing by emailing us at dpo@ascot.london.

You can decide not to follow our social media sites

You might find Ascot London Consulting Limited on social media sites; LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and you could also see advertisements from us. As an education, learning and training provider, we use social media to help inform, educate and engage existing and new potential customers. Please be aware that any communication you have with us on social media will be subject to the privacy policies of that platform.

The privacy policy for the third-party social media providers can be found here:

Your rights

You can exercise your rights by sending us an email at dpo@ascot.london..

You have the right to access the information we hold about you

This includes the right to ask us supplementary information about:

  • the categories of data we're processing
  • the purposes of data processing
  • the categories of third parties to whom the data may be disclosed
  • how long the data will be stored (or the criteria used to determine that period)
  • your other rights regarding our use of your data

We will provide you with the information within one month of your request unless doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other (e.g. another person's confidentiality or intellectual property rights). We'll tell you if we can't meet your request for that reason.

You have the right to make us correct any inaccurate personal data about you

You can object to us using your data for profiling you or making automated decisions about you

We may use your data to determine whether we should let you know information that might be relevant to you (for example, tailoring emails to you based on your behaviour). Otherwise, the only circumstances in which we will do this is to provide services to you.

You have the right to port your data to another service

We will give you a copy of your data in CSV to provide it to another service. If you ask us and it is technically possible, we will directly transfer the data to the other service for you. We will not do so to the extent that this involves disclosing data about any other individual.

You have the right to be 'forgotten' by us

You can do this by asking us to erase any personal data we hold about you if it is no longer necessary for us to hold the data for purposes of your use of our services.

You have the right to lodge a complaint regarding our use of your data

Please tell us first so we have a chance to address your concerns. If we fail in this, you can address any complaint to the UK Information Commissioner's Office, either by calling their helpline or as directed on their website at www.ico.org.uk.

How secure is the data we collect?

We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

Please remember:

  • You provide personal data at your own risk: unfortunately, no data transmission is guaranteed to be 100% secure
  • You are responsible for your username and password: keep them secret and safe!
  • If you believe your privacy has been breached, please contact us immediately at dpo@ascot.london

Where do we store your data?

The personal data we collect is processed at our offices in Ascot and London and any data processing facilities operated by the third parties identified below.

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing by us. If we transfer or store your information outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

How long do we store your data?

We will archive and stop actively using any personally identifiable information about you within six months from the last time you used our website. Your subscription account information is only held for as long as you have an open subscription plus 61 days. The statistical information forms part of your training records and is anonymised after subscription account information or trial period ends. We will delete your personal data from our archives no later than seven years from the last time you used our services or as agreed with you in a separate contract.

Third parties who process your data?

Tech businesses often use third parties to help them host their application, communicate with customers, power their emails etc. We partner with third parties who we believe are the best in their field at what they do.

When we do this, sometimes we must share your data with them to get these services to work well. Your data is shared only when strictly necessary and according to the safeguards and good practices detailed in this Privacy Policy. Where personal data is transferred to a third party in the United States, we take steps to ensure we agree with the standard contractual clauses with them. We continually monitor this transfer mechanism. Any data transfers to the US are encrypted and generally consist of non-sensitive personal data.

Here are the details of our main third-party service providers, and what data they collect, or we share with them, where they store the data and why they need it:
