LEGAL COMPLIANCE & GOVERNANCE

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy sets out how My Training 4 Skills collects, uses, protects, and handles your personal information in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information necessary to deliver training, process enrolments, and comply with qualification regulations. This includes identity details (name, date of birth, photo ID for SIA/regulated exams), contact details (email, phone, address), and payment transaction references.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used to administer your course enrolment, register you with relevant awarding organisations (e.g. Highfield, Gatehouse Awards), record attendance and assessment evidence, issue digital certificates, and provide learner support.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data under legitimate interests (providing training services), contractual necessity (fulfilling your course enrolment), and legal obligation (compliance with Ofqual, SIA, and educational record retention guidelines).

4. Sharing with Awarding Bodies & Regulators

Where required for qualification certification, your information is shared securely with official awarding bodies (e.g. Highfield Qualifications, Gatehouse Awards) and relevant regulators (e.g. Ofqual, SIA, HSE). We never sell your personal data to third parties.

5. Data Retention & Security Safeguards

We retain learner records in accordance with awarding body retention periods (typically 3 to 5 years following certificate issue). All electronic data is secured with industry-standard encryption and strict access controls.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to your personal data, rectify inaccuracies, request erasure where legally permissible, and object to certain processing activities.

7. Contacting Our Data Protection Officer

For any inquiries regarding data protection or to exercise your rights, please contact our Data Protection Team at info@mytraining4skills.co.uk or write to our London office.
