6. Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential, and will be shared only with:

• The awarding organisation, Qualsafe Awards, with whom we are registered for the purposes of issuing your First Aid Certificate. Normally, this is restricted to your first and last names but, occasionally, may include items such as your date of birth and details of any special assistance given to you, with reasons, to enable you to complete a First Aid course.
• The appropriate regulatory authorities for CPC courses, in particular, JAUPT and DVSA with whom we are registered for the provision of CPC courses. This is normally confined to your Driver Number.

7. How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep your personal data for no longer than reasonably necessary and we only retain your data for the following purposes and use the following criteria to determine how long to retain your personal data:

1) If you purchase goods or services from us we will retain your data for no more than 7 years from the last date of purchase to confirm with our obligations under tax legislation and to promote the continued sale of further goods and services

2) If you attend a course with us we will retain your data for 6 years from the date of your last course so that we may notify you of the expiry date of any certificates we hold for you and, if requested and with your permission may confirm to an enquirer as to the type of course attended and when. We will also use your data to contact you about other courses and general First Aid & CPC information

3) If you work for us whether as an employee or as an external contractor your data is principally held so that we can ensure your relevant professional qualifications remain current including information about your right to work in the United Kingdom as required by the Immigration, Asylum & Nationality Act 2006. We also require and retain a copy of an Enhanced DBS check taken within the last 3 years. Your personal data will be retained for a period of 7 years to confirm to both tax legislation and to allow for the possibility of legal action being taken against us as a result of work undertaken by you on our behalf

4) If we hold your data purely for the purposes of direct marketing then this will be retained for no more than three years from our acquisition of the data unless you purchase goods or services from us in that time span in which event we will then continue to hold your data for the time spans detailed at 7.1 and/or 7.2 above

8. Providing us with your personal data

If you attend a First Aid training course with us then you must provide us with your name, date of birth and proof of identity as a condition of your attending our course. This information is a requirement of our regulatory authority Qualsafe Awards and, ultimately, Ofqual and is designed to minimise the risk of impersonation. If you do not provide this information you will not be allowed to join the course. The provision of any additional information beyond this is at your discretion and failure to do so will have no impact on outcomes unless we notify you otherwise

If you attend a CPC training course with us then you must provide us with your name, proof of identity which (as specified by JAUPT and DVSA) must be either a current photocard driving licence or a current Driver’s Qualification Card or a current Digital Tachograph. We will take copies of the front and back of these and retain this information as required by the Regulatory Authorities

If you work for us whether as an employee or contractor, then we require appropriate documentation to confirm your entitlement to work in the UK. We also need copies of any relevant professional qualifications germane to your role with the Company, including copies of any professional insurances. If these are not provided or kept current, then you will not be able to work for us.

If purchasing goods and services from us, then we require sufficient information from you to enable us to provide and deliver these including information on payment methods. If paying by credit or debit card, no card information is stored by us once the transaction has been authorised by the card processing company.
