Retention Period

We implement a Retention, Review and Disposal (RRD) process for all our information not just personal data, with Information Asset Owners (IAO) consulted with regards to suitable retention periods for information assets.

For the purpose of process personal data, the following applies:

  • Our customer data shall be retained for the period of account being present on the platform. If a customer requests that their account be suspended, their account and their information will be held for a further 90 days giving the customer the option to retrieve any related course information or certificates. However, if a customer removed/deletes the account themselves all information will be removed immediately and will not be recoverable.
  • For information provided as part of the Enquiry “Let us know how we can help you” contact/customer information, the request of name, email, phone and message are only retained to allow a response to the data subject. This information is only retained for a maximum of 30 days and then removed from the Issured system.

If there is a business requirement to retain the “Let us know how we can help you” information, i.e. services are requested and/or a contract agreed, then the information will be retained and agreed as part of the customer account retention period. At the end of the agreed retention period your information will be securely and confidentially destroyed. Where there is contractual obligation to process personal information, the retention period of this information will be in line with the contract specification. All personal information will be deleted or returned as per the requirements captured within each contract.

Data Security

In some areas of our platforms, we may use encryption technologies to enhance data privacy and help prevent loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under Issured’s control.

We cannot guarantee, however, that all information will remain secure. The Internet by its nature is a public forum. We encourage you to use caution when disclosing information online. Often, you are in the best situation to protect yourself online. You are responsible for protecting your login ID and password from third-party access, and for selecting passwords that are secure.
