During the purchase process we will require personal and organisation information. Core Courses also offers a free trial via the website which requires the same personal and organisation information.
How do we use your information?
Information we obtain from you is used to:
Improve and extend our services

Analyse user/purchaser/visitor interactions

Legal requests for information
Core Courses may be required under court order to provide personally identifiable information to government authorities. Providing such government departments/agencies have legal right to access our records and such enquiries are correctly made, we will supply such authorities with the information they require.
With whom do we share your information?
We would only share personally identifiable information with third parties if:
You agree to us sharing this information.
We are forced to bring legal actions against a subscriber who has breached our user agreement.

How long do we retain your information?
We retain your information so long as you remain a subscriber and by default for 12 months prior to termination of your subscription. You can request earlier permanent deletion of your data if you wish but your data will reside in backups for a period of 3 months thereafter.
Information Security
The Core Courses website and application have various security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Although no security measure is fool proof, we believe that these measures are consistent with good practice as 2 of 5 Privacy Policy modern technology permits. For more information on information security please see our Information Security Statement.
Email Privacy
We follow email marketing best practices at all times. A key aspect of these best practices is the operation of permission based emailing. If you receive emails from Core Courses or a partner it will be because you have elected to receive such emails or they are communications related specifically to services requested.
Call Privacy
We record all incoming and outgoing calls for contractual and training purposes. Call recordings are retained for a period of 24 months and are never shared with third parties.
Outbound Links
The Core Courses website and application contain links to other websites. While links are reviewed at the time of publishing we are not responsible for the content of external links as they can be changed without our knowledge.
Your Rights
You have various rights in respect of the personal information Core Courses holds about you – these are set out in more detail below. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you can do so by contacting Core Courses at https://corecourses.org/contact-us/. Please note that you will need to provide Core Courses with evidence of your identity.
Request access to your personal information: You can ask Core Courses to give you a copy of the personal information that Core Courses holds about you.
Request correction: You can ask Core Courses to change or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal information held about you.
Request erasure: You can ask Core Courses to delete your personal information where it is no longer necessary for Core Courses to use it, you have withdrawn consent, or where Core Courses has no lawful basis for keeping it.
Right to object: You can object to Core Courses processing of your personal information where Core Courses is relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where Core Courses is processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Request restriction: You can ask Core Courses to restrict our use of your personal information in the following circumstances: a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where Core Courses’s use of the data is unlawful but you do not want Core Courses to erase it; (c) where you need Core Courses to hold the data even if Core Courses no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) if you have objected to our use of your data but Core Courses needs to verify whether Core Courses has overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request transfer: You can ask us to provide you or a third party with some of the personal information that Core Courses holds about you in a structured, commonly used, electronic form, so it can be easily transferred.
Withdraw consent: If you have given Core Courses your consent to use personal information (for example, for marketing), you can withdraw your consent at any time. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, Core Courses may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Core Courses tries to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take Core Courses longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, Core Courses will notify you and keep you updated.
