Full Name of Legal Entity: Apto Schola Consultancy Ltd

Email Address: info@apto-schola.co.uk 

Telephone Number: +44-07985760134 

Apto Schola Consultancy may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, including:

· Identity Data, including your full name and the full names of family members, titles, genders, age/date of births and other relevant information required for us to perform our educational services for you (only when strictly necessary).

· Contact Data, including home addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers.

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of an agreement we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the agreement we have or are trying to enter into with you. In such instances, we may have to cancel the educational services agreement you have with us, we shall immediately notify you if this is the case.

Personal data is collected through direction interactions. You may give us your Identity Data and Contact Data by filling in forms or by corresponding with us by email, phone or other method. This includes personal data you provide when you apply for our educational services, use our educational services or contact us.

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. We will use your personal data when we need to perform the terms of the educational services agreement we are about to enter into or have entered into or where it is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party educational institution and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests, or where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

· Request access to your personal data, enabling you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

· Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you, enabling you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected. Please note, in such circumstances, we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

· Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing, where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

· Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party educational institution) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.

· Request restriction of processing of your personal data, enabling you to request the suspension of the processing of your personal data in certain situations: 

1. If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

2. Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.

3. Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

4. You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

· Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or your chosen third party, your personal data in a commonly used, readable format. This right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform an agreement with you.

· Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to continue providing our educational services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

We keep our privacy policy under regular review.
