Privacy Policy
At mysite-name, we are committed to protecting your personal information while you use our programming courses across England. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data in compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information necessary to provide our programming education services, including your name, contact details, educational background, technical experience level, and learning preferences. For course progression, we may collect additional details about your coding projects and skill assessments.
We also collect technical data through our learning platform analytics to improve educational experience. This information is anonymised and not linked to your personal identity unless you explicitly consent.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data enables us to deliver quality programming education and includes:
- Processing course enrollments and managing student progress
- Providing access to coding exercises and learning materials
- Communicating about course schedules and educational updates
- Tracking learning progress and providing educational support
- Managing coding project submissions and feedback
We handle your information responsibly, using it solely for your programming education requirements.
3. Educational Progress and Project Data
We maintain records of your coding projects, exercise submissions, skill assessments, and learning progress. This data helps our instructors provide personalised feedback and track your development throughout the course.
Educational data is accessed only by authorised instructors and educational support staff directly involved in your learning journey. We do not share detailed progress information with third parties without your explicit consent.
4. Technical Environment and Learning Tools
To enhance your learning experience, we may collect information about your development environment preferences, coding tool usage, and platform interaction patterns. This helps us optimise our teaching approach and technical support.
Participation in technical data collection is voluntary, and you can adjust preferences at any time without affecting your core educational experience.
5. Data Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security protocols to protect your personal information and educational records. All student data is stored on encrypted systems with role-based access controls. Coding projects and submissions are secured with appropriate access permissions.
From course enrollment through completion, we maintain strict data protection standards for both personal data and educational materials.
6. Legal Basis for Processing
By enrolling in our programming courses, you consent to us processing your information as outlined in this policy. This includes processing necessary for fulfilling our educational services, including course delivery, progress tracking, and educational support.
7. Third-Party Data Sharing
We may share your information with trusted third parties only when necessary to deliver our educational services, such as payment processors, educational platform providers for coding exercises, and cloud services for project hosting.
All third-party providers are bound by strict data protection agreements compliant with UK GDPR requirements. We never sell your personal information or educational data to marketing companies.
8. Your Data Protection Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate educational or personal data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Object to processing of your personal data
- Request transfer of your educational data to another provider
To exercise these rights, contact us at: [email protected]. We respond to all valid requests within 30 days.
9. Data Retention Period
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil our educational services and legal obligations. Educational records and project data are typically archived for 3-5 years to allow for certification verification and continued learning progression, unless you request earlier deletion.
After the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise your personal information, though we may retain minimal data for legal compliance purposes.
10. International Data Transfers
In certain circumstances, your data may be transferred outside the UK, such as when using international educational platforms for coding exercises or cloud services for project hosting. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK data protection law.
For questions about our privacy practices or to make a complaint, contact us at: [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
11. Policy Updates
We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our educational services or legal requirements. The current version will always be available on our website, and we will notify you of significant changes that affect how we process your data.
