Where you submit a course pre-registration, we also process your data to record your expression of interest, contact you about the course, confirm your participation and organise the course.

The legal basis for the processing is:

• The legitimate interest of the association in responding to the contact enquiries it receives (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The legitimate interest consists in replying to the request you submitted yourself.
• The taking of steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), where your enquiry relates to pre-contractual communication, such as a partnership proposal, a question about taking part in an educational programme or a pre-registration for one of our courses.

Form submissions are processed by Formspree (Formspree Inc., USA), acting as a data processor on our behalf, which forwards the messages to us. Formspree holds a SOC 2 Type 2 certification. Any transfer of data outside the EEA is covered by the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Formspree’s Privacy Policy is available at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

Retention period

Messages are retained for as long as necessary to complete the communication and for a reasonable period afterwards, with a maximum of twelve months, unless there is a legal obligation to retain them longer or an ongoing partnership.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you
• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erase your data
• Restrict processing
• Data portability
• Object to processing, under Article 21 GDPR, where the processing is based on legitimate interest
