WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS
This Privacy Policy covers the personal data we collect about you when you use products, apps, services or websites provided by Us that links to this document (“Services”) or when you interact with us through a different channel, unless a different policy is displayed.

A reference to “Peritus”, “We” and “Us” means Peritus Learning & Development Ltd and/or any of its other corporate affiliates, listed below in the “Contact us” section.

This Privacy Policy explains how Peritus collects and uses your personal data and the choices and rights available to you about the collection and use of your information, including how to update and correct your personal data.

This Policy does not apply:
(a) When we process personal data collected about you for our Peritus customers
In certain circumstances, We process your personal data as a data processor, which means on behalf of our customers (for example, where Peritus provides Services to an organisation, a company or academic institution). In these cases, it is the Peritus customer that is responsible for the processing of your personal data.

Peritus data protection practices will be regulated by the terms of a data protection agreement entered with the customer.

If you have questions or concerns about how your personal data is handled in these circumstances, including how to exercise your rights, you should contact the customer that has control over your account (e.g. your employer or account administrator) and refer to their separate privacy policies.

We may provide your personal information to companies that provide services to help Us with our business activities (such as processing your payments). These companies are authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to Us, in compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate data processing terms signed with them.

• Affiliates and Subsidiaries
  

We may share the information We collect within the Peritus group of companies to provide services to you.

HOW YOUR INFORMATION IS KEPT SECURE:
The security of your personal information is important to Us.

We follow generally accepted security standards and We have adopted commercially reasonable security measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure or access. We may use third-party products and services to secure or store your information.

Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to be notified in case of security breach. Overall, if you have any reason to believe that your interactions with the Services are no longer secure, please notify Us immediately at info@perituslearning.co.uk

We may, subject to applicable law, transfer your information outside the country where you are located and to where information protection standards may differ (e.g. your information may be stored on servers located in other jurisdictions). We will utilise appropriate safeguards governing the transfer and usage of your personal information. See the following Section ‘How we transfer your data’ for further information.

HOW WE TRANSFER YOUR DATA:
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are based, where Peritus’s affiliates, subsidiaries, partners or our third-party service providers operate.

Some of these countries might not offer an adequate level of protection and security. As a result, We take measures to ensure that your information is safe and protected in compliance with the applicable data protection laws, including:

• reliance of Standard Contractual Clauses to transfer your data outside the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland;
• implementation of organisational, contractual and technical security measures with our third-party service providers;

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION:
We will retain your information for the time needed to fulfil the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

If your account is deactivated or disabled, some of your information and the content you have provided will remain in order to allow your team members or other users to make full use of the Services.

After the expiry of the applicable retention period, We will either delete your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), We will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.

In case you object from any marketing communications, or withdraw your consent, We will promptly stop using your information collected for these purposes. However, We might keep a permanent record of the fact that you have asked Us not to process your information so that We can respect your request in future

If you are a resident of European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or Brazil you can also submit a request (i) for rectification, or (ii) to object to our processing of your personal data, or even (iii) to have your data available in a structured, electronic format (‘data portability’).

Where you gave Us consent to use your information for a specific purpose, you can ask Us to withdraw that consent, but this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing activity already taken place before your withdrawal.

You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications We send you at any time. Please read the section ‘Marketing communications’ below for further details on these requests. In some circumstances, We might need to verify your identity and your relationship with Peritus before proceeding with your request for security reasons.
