3. Why we use it
We process your data to deliver the programmes you buy, issue and verify certificates, answer your questions, keep the site secure, and — where you have agreed or where we have a legitimate interest — tell you about relevant programmes and offers. You can opt out of marketing at any time using the link in any email.
4. Sharing
We share data only with providers who help us run the service (payment processing, hosting, email delivery, analytics and the learning platform that hosts assessments). Each acts under contract and may use your data only for our instructions. We do not sell personal data.
5. Retention
