Privacy Policy for Insight Out Training Consultants

May 2018

I’ve tried to keep this policy as user friendly as possible, but it does need to include a lot of things. There are some key terms at the end of the document which I hope are useful. Any questions, please email: jenny@insight-out.co.uk

This privacy policy is written by me, Jenny Maddox, trading as Insight Out Training Consultants (referred to throughout at Insight Out).

Insight Out continues to be committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Any information you provide by any means when working with us, including reading our blog or visiting our website, will only be used in accordance with this privacy policy, which has been updated to comply with the General Data Protection Law (GDPR), effective 25th May 2018.

This policy explains how we collect, store, use and share Personal Data. It also outlines your rights under the GDPR law, including the rights for access to the data we hold.

We will post any Privacy Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes) on our website. We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.

Security

We have physical, electronic, administrative and managerial procedures in place to safeguard and secure the information we collect from you to protect your Personal Data against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised disclosure.

Lawful basis for Collecting and Processing Personal Data 

Insight Out has to have a lawful basis for collecting and processing your Personal Data as set out in Article 6 of the GDPR. The reason we believe we have the right to gather and use your data is that we have a legitimate interest in doing so for the purpose of managing, operating or promoting our business, and that legitimate interest is not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights, or freedoms.

What that actually means is that we use the data that you share with us so that we can carry out our work with you and provide you with the services that you have asked us to. Without this data it would not be possible to do this, and so we believe our need for the data is legitimate. You are therefore under no contractual or statutory obligation to provide this data, but without it it would not be possible for Insight Out to work with you.

Collection of Personal Data

We may collect Personal Data about you in ways that may include the following:

  • When you provide it to us: e.g. where you select the “contact us” option on our website, “opt-in” to receive a blog, send an email or leave a ‘phone message asking us to get in touch, or reach out to Insight Out by other means
  • In the ordinary course of our relationship with you, for example when coaching or supervising you or working with you as part of a development activity
