Our privacy policy is concerned with how we collect, use and keep personal data. Personal data is anything by which a person can be identified such as name, email or photo.
What personal data we collect and use:
We collect the personal data of our clients such as their name, email, telephone number, work address and age. We obtain consent when collecting data.
We keep these data so we can deliver our services (such as technical support, education advice, training courses, GLADE membership) under the lawful basis of Contract – we contact you and hold your data because we have a contract with you. Please note that this does not have to be a written contract, but an understanding or agreement.
You have rights over your personal data which can be viewed here:
How we keep or share personal data: All personal data are kept securely on a database behind password protection. We advocate the use of encryption and this is being implemented into our IT system. We do not sell or pass on your personal data.
