Where we store your personal data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA“). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Our third party service providers are contractually bound to protect and use your personal data solely for the purposes for which it was disclosed, except as otherwise required or permitted by law. We ensure that such third parties will be bound by terms no less protective than those described in this Privacy Policy and as permitted under European data protection law and other applicable laws.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

We use reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect the personal information that we obtain from you from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and getting destroyed. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Retaining personal data

Your personal data will only be kept in our records for as long as required to meet our legal obligations and not longer than necessary.

For the most part, we will retain your personal data for up to 6 years. In some cases, we may be obliged to retain some of your personal data for longer periods as required by law. At our discretion, we may retain personal data for any period we consider reasonably necessary to do so in order to meet our legal obligations.

Your rights

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at study@turingcollege.com

The Website may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

Access to information

If you want to access any of the personal data that we hold about you or to correct some aspect of it (for example, because you deem it to be incorrect or incomplete), please contact our data protection officer: study@turingcollege.com

To protect the integrity and security of the information we hold, we may ask that you follow a defined access procedure, which may include steps to verify your identity. In particular cases we may charge you an administration fee for supplying you with access to the information you have asked for, but we will inform you of this before proceeding. There may be cases where we are not able to supply the information you request, such as where it would interfere with the privacy of others or result in a breach of confidentiality. In these cases, we will let you know why we cannot comply with your request.

Even if you do not request access to and/or correct your personal data held by us, if we are satisfied that, having regard to the reasons for which we hold your personal data that personal data is inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, irrelevant or misleading, we may take the necessary steps to correct that information.
