If you are permitted to access the Services pursuant to a licence we have granted to an education provider or publisher, we may have been provided with certain personal data from that provider or publisher. We will, therefore, hold the information provided by you and your employer to create your user profile, and further information you provide to us from time to time.

This also includes the full uniform resource locators (URL) clickstream to, through and from our Website (including date and time); pages you viewed or information you searched for; page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages; and details of your visits to other websites via our Website. Internet protocol (IP) addresses may be considered “personal data” in certain jurisdictions, such as in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), and will be treated in accordance with this Policy.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We share your personal data with third parties in the following situations:

Pursuant to our instructions, these parties may access, process or store your personal data in the course of performing their duties to us and solely in order to perform the Services we have hired them to provide.

In order to provide the Services you request from us, our affiliated businesses may access and process the information which we collect from you for the purposes described above, including offering products and the Services to you. Our affiliated businesses will only use your data for the purposes for which we originally collected it.
• Personnel: We may allow our staff, consultants and/or external service providers acting on our behalf, and our provider of payment services, to access and use your personal data for the activities we have described above. We only permit them to use it to deliver the relevant Service, and if they apply an appropriate level of security protection.
• Administrative and Legal Reasons: if we need to disclose your personal data (i) to comply with a legal obligation and/or judicial or regulatory proceedings, a court order or other legal process; (ii) to enforce our terms & conditions or other applicable contract terms that you are subject to or (iii) to protect us, our Subscribers, or contractors against loss or damage.

Please be aware that we are not responsible or liable for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website and to read the privacy policies of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This Policy applies solely to information collected by us on the Website.

PERSONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Your personal data will be transferred to and stored in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, including the United States, Singapore, UAE and other destinations outside the EEA, to our service providers and affiliated businesses for the purposes described above.

Please note that the countries concerned may not provide the same legal standards for protection of your personal data that you have in the United Kingdom or EEA. Where we transfer your personal data to countries outside of the EEA we will take all steps to ensure that your personal data will continue to be protected. We will implement appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to our service providers in accordance with the applicable law, such as relying on our service providers’ Privacy Shield certification or implementing standard contractual clauses for data transfers. We have implemented data transfer agreements pursuant to applicable data protection law in order to implement appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to our group companies in countries outside the EEA.

DATA SECURITY

We employ reasonable security measures to protect your personal data from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. We will take steps to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of security protection where it is processed and your rights continue to be protected. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

The transmission of information using Wi-Fi networks and cellular data networks may not be completely secure. Although we will use reasonable endeavours to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to us using our Website and any such transmission is made at your own risk.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

DATA RETENTION

We will keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, while we have a legitimate business need to do so, or as required by law (e.g. for tax, legal, accounting or other purposes), whichever is the longer.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we use your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Upon expiry of the applicable retention period we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In some circumstances, we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you. Once you are no longer our customer, we will retain and securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
