Safeguarding at Chalktalk, operated by Chalktalk Education respects the privacy of individuals providing information through our website and services. This policy complies with UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, detailing how we collect, use, and protect personal data for booking safeguarding courses and related training. We process data based on legitimate interests or contract necessity as per ICO guidance, unable to fulfill bookings without required details.
We collect name, job title, email, telephone, postcode, and course interests to process bookings and maintain records. Demographic details help tailor services like professional updates. Data is stored securely on Google’s Cloud Platform, leveraging its global security infrastructure for encryption and access controls.
Information enables booking fulfillment, database storage, and sending relevant course offers or sector updates via email or phone (with opt-in preference). We improve services through internal analysis and may use cookies for traffic analytics, deleted post-analysis. Promotional contacts require consent, managed via opt-out options.
Personal data shares only occur for safeguarding concerns, legal requirements, or with prior permission; no sales to third parties. Robust physical, electronic safeguards prevent unauthorized access, with staff trained on UK GDPR compliance. Google Cloud ensures secure storage and transmission.
Data retains as necessary for purposes, legal needs (e.g., 6 years post-customer for tax), or complaints/litigation, considering sensitivity and risks. Users hold UK GDPR rights: access, correction, erasure, objection, restriction, portability, and consent withdrawal—contact us or ICO (ico.org.uk).
Cookies analyze traffic for site improvements without identifying individuals; browsers allow decline, potentially limiting features. Linked sites fall outside our control, review their policies separately.
