Privacy policy

CTP is committed to ensuring that the privacy of your personal information is protected. CTP is a trading company of Corporate Training Partnerships Ltd who is the ‘data controller’ of your information under UK privacy laws.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect information, how we use the information we collect, how you can instruct us if you want to limit the use of that information and procedures that we have in place to safeguard the privacy of your information.

Your personal details

Your privacy is of the highest importance to us, and we promise never to release your personal details to any outside company for their mailing or marketing purposes. We treat all of your Personal Information as confidential and keep it on a secure server. There are, however, times when we will need to share your information with our trusted service providers who are authorised to act on our behalf. 

These include trainers at our courses, payment processors, database service providers, email service providers and others. When we engage another company to perform such functions, we will only provide them with the essential information needed in connection with their performance of such functions. These third parties have contracted with us to only use Personal Data for the agreed upon purpose, and not to sell your Personal Information to third parties.

If our business enters into a joint venture with or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners or owners. 

Countries outside the European Economic Area do not always have strong data protection laws. However, we will always take steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties in accordance with this policy.

We may also share data if we are required to do so by UK Law.
