You may give us information about you with your consent, for example:

• By filling in a form
• Sending us an e-mail

This information may be personal, financial, educational, or related to your employment history.

If you visit our website, we may automatically collect information about you, for example:

• Your URL
• What parts of our website you click on and how long you look at our website.

Information we receive from other sources

We may receive information about you from any other services we provide, or from our business partners instructed to collect information on our behalf.

We also work with third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, credit reference agencies, background checking agencies) and may receive information about you from them as part of the service we provide you, or for legal reasons.

Why does Akselera collect personal information?

Akselera collects information for some or all of the following reasons:

• To provide information about products or services you have shown interest in purchasing within a reasonable time afterwards, if you are already an existing Akselera customer
• To provide information to you about products or services you have purchased from us, or related products or services
• To employ you or consider you for employment
• To provide goods or services to you under contract
• For legal reasons, for example, if you have entered into a contract with us
• To provide information to you about our products and services if you have consented to receive it.

What legal basis does Akselera have for processing your information?

Akselera may process your information because:

• We have a contract with you
• You have given us permission to do so
• We must provide services to you after you have purchased something from us
• We must provide services to you because you have taken one of our qualifications
• To comply with the law.

All of these reasons are reasons Akselera may legally process the information we have about you.

Who might Akselera share your information with?

Akselera may share your personal information with third parties, either because you have consented to allow us to do so or for legal reasons. For example, we may share your personal information with:

• Subcontractors and third parties for the purpose of the performance of a contract that we hold with them or that we hold with you
• With third parties because you have given consent
• With third parties who provide shipping or publishing services because you have purchased goods or services
• On our Successful Candidate Register if you have consented.

Other reasons Akselera may share your personal information with a third party

If Akselera or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal data held by Akselera about its customers will be one of the transferred assets of the company.

In addition, Akselera will share your personal data with third parties for the following reasons:

• If Akselera must comply with a legal obligation
• To enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions of Website  Use, Terms and Conditions of Sale, or other agreements
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Akselera, our customers or others
• We will exchange information with other companies or organizations to prevent fraud or to reduce our credit risks.

Aggregated or anonymized data with personal information removed

Akselera may, from time to time, provide third parties with data that has been aggregated or anonymized.

This means that your personal information that could be used to identify you have been removed from the data. Data provided to third parties in this way is not personal data; however, you do keep your right to object.

Where we store your personal data

We primarily store and process your personal data in the EU/European Economic Area (“EEA”). If we do transfer your personal data outside the EEA it will be because you have consented or because we have a legal reason to do so.

Some examples of reasons your data may be processed outside of the EEA include:

• Order fulfilment
• Payment processing
• Technical support services.
• If your personal data cannot be processed within the EEA, we will:
• Comply with all other data protection principles
• Where possible, be to a country that is on the list of the EU Commission’s countries that provide adequate protections for the rights and freedoms of data subjects
• If the transfer is to the United States of America, we will use reasonable endeavours to make sure they participate in the Privacy Shield program
• Make sure we have assessed the adequacy of protections in all other cases.

Access to your stored personal data via password

Where we have given you, or where you have chosen, a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Transmission and storage of your personal data

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we use best practice to ensure your data is encrypted to the standard required in the GDPR to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it is transmitted and stored.

How long will we keep your personal information?

Akselera will not retain your personal information for longer than required.

We will keep your personal information:

• For as long as required by law
• Until we no longer have a valid reason for keeping it
• Until you request us to stop using it.

We may keep just enough of your personal information to ensure that we comply with your requests not use your personal information or comply with your right to erasure. For example, we must keep your request to be erased even if it includes your personal data until such time as you are no longer our customer.

If you have questions about our Data Retention Policy, we can provide you a copy. Please contact: info_gdpr@akselera.com.

What if you chose not to give us your personal information?

If the personal information is necessary in order to supply goods or services to you under a contract between you and Akselera, then we will not enter into that contract or provide the services or goods if you do not give us your personal information.
