The information below provides a summary of the key ways in which AIT Training Developments LP (referred to as AIT) may use your personal information.
Under data protection legislation, we are only allowed to use personal information if we have a proper reason or ‘legal basis’ to do so. In the case of AIT, there are a number of these ‘legal grounds’ we rely on, which are:
Where you have given your consent to AIT, for example:
For the ‘performance of a contract’, for example:
We may collect your information in several different ways:
Most of the information we hold is provided directly by you. For example, you may give us your information in order to register for one of the qualifications we offer.
We will also collect your information if you email, phone or write to us. If you telephone AIT your call may also be recorded for training and quality purposes.
Depending on your privacy settings, we may also collect information about you from your interaction on one of the Social Media platforms we use; for example if you post on our Facebook pages (planned)
On some occasions we may also collect publicly available information about you. You can read more about this in the sections below.
AIT uses your personal information in four main ways:
Under data protection legislation we have to let you know if we use your personal information to do something ‘automatically’ using our computers or other systems that significantly affects you.
AIT does not make decisions or assumptions about you based on the use of automated systems, databases or computer applications.
In the process of achieving your qualification AIT has agreements with a limited number of third party service providers that require information about you in order to register you for your qualification and to award your qualification recognition.
Where we appoint an external supplier for reasons related to your learning and qualification any such arrangements will be subject to a formal agreement between AIT and that organisation or individual to protect the security of your personal information.
We will never pass your personal information on to any other organisation for marketing purposes and do not sell or rent personal information to third parties for any purpose.
In some circumstances, disclosures of personal information to the police (and other law enforcement agencies) are permitted by data protection legislation, if they relate to the prevention or detection of crime and/or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders. Before any such disclosure takes place, the police are required to
demonstrate that the personal information concerned is necessary for them to carry out a proper investigation.
Each police request received by AIT is dealt with on a strictly case-by-case basis to ensure that any such disclosure is lawful and carried out in accordance with relevant guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
AIT will retain personal information in line with its data retention policy and the policy requirements of the qualification Awarding Body. This means that we will not hold information for longer than is necessary for the purpose we obtained it for.
To ensure that we do not retain inaccurate, out-of-date or irrelevant information, information will be regularly reviewed and we will delete anything that we no longer need.
We take the privacy of our clients very seriously and a range of robust policies, processes and technical measures are in place to control and safeguard access to, and use of, personal information associated with AIT.
