Our Commitment to Data Protection

adequplaud is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This page outlines how we comply with these regulations and your rights as a data subject.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so:

  • Consent: When you voluntarily provide information through forms or communications
  • Contract: When necessary to provide educational services you have requested
  • Legitimate Interests: For improving our services and website functionality
  • Legal Obligation: When required by law

Your Rights Under GDPR

Right to Access

You have the right to request copies of your personal data. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded or excessive.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request transfer of your personal data to another organization or directly to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data when we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in our processing of personal data.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under GDPR, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month, though this may be extended by two additional months for complex requests.

When making a request, please provide:

  • Your full name
  • Contact information
  • Clear description of your request
  • Proof of identity (if required for verification)

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:

  • Course inquiry data: 2 years from last contact
  • Enrolled student data: Duration of course plus 6 years (for regulatory compliance)
  • Website analytics: 26 months
  • Marketing communications: Until consent is withdrawn

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Access controls and authentication procedures
  • Staff training on data protection
  • Secure backup and recovery procedures

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach poses a high risk to you, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

Third-Party Processing

When we engage third-party service providers to process personal data on our behalf, we ensure they provide sufficient guarantees of GDPR compliance through written contracts that specify their data processing obligations.

International Data Transfers

We do not transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom. All data is stored and processed within UK jurisdiction on servers located in the UK.

Children's Privacy

While we offer courses for children, we collect personal information from parents or legal guardians, not directly from children under 13. If you are under 13, please ensure a parent or guardian completes any forms on your behalf.

Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
