2. Reasons why Global Edutech Services Limited Collects personal Information.

We collect personal data to enable us to fulfil our legitimate business needs, such as:

• To get information that will assist in the subscribed service.
• Forward to out third party institutions like the Universities, Home Office, other organizations.
• Maintain our account and records.
• Support and manage our staff.
• Advertising and marketing.
  3. Who has access to your data?

Your information may be shared internally, including with members of our staff for their performance of their roles.

The organisation may share your data with third parties as a requirement for the service for which the customer have paid for, or delegated us to do.

4. How does the organisation protect your data?

The organisation takes the security of your data seriously. The organisation has internal policies and controls in place to try to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by its employees in the performance of their duties.

Where the organisation engages third parties to process personal data on its behalf, they do so on the basis of written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of data.

5. For how long does the organisation keep data?

The organisation will hold your personal data for the duration of the subscribed service. The periods for which your data is held after the end of our service:

Personal records:  2 years after we have completed the service.

Marketing Purposes: 1 year after we have completed the service.

The organisation may wish to contact you after you have left us as a client for marketing purposes or to inform you of a new service line that the organisation is now providing. The organisation will ask for your consent before it keeps your data for this purpose and you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.

6. National Data Opt-Out

The national data opt-out gives everyone the choice to stop organisations from sharing their “confidential patient information” with other organisations where it is used for reasons such as research and planning purposes.

Confidential patient information applies to information about someone’s health or social care that can identify them. Global Edutech services, in line with your wishes and the national data opt-out, are required to apply national data opt-outs to use or disclose confidential patient information for purposes other than that we were delegated to do.
We only share personal information on a “need to know” basis, observing strict protocols when doing so. Most of the data sharing is with other professionals or third party institutions.
We will always inform you if we fundamentally change the way we use your
personal data.

7. Your rights:

As a data subject, you have a number of rights. You can:

• Request Information about whether we hold personal information about you, and if so, what that information is and why we are holding/using it.
