Opting out of Cookies

The Lead Academy website uses cookies to help us analyse web traffic and make improvements to the experience you have while visiting the website. When you first arrive at the site you will have the choice to opt out of the collection of cookies from your browser, but you have the right to opt out again at any point of your choosing.

How your data is processed

Lead Academy’s main approach to processing your personal information and other data has a foundation of three lawful principles: Consent, Performance of a Contract, and Legitimate Interest.

Consent

Most of the information Lead Academy processes comes in the form of signing up for our newsletter, purchasing an item from our online site, or setting up a Lead Academy account. Through undertaking these actions you consent for us to collect, process, and use your information. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Legitimate Interest

There are times we might determine that certain services or products offered by us are of interest to a designated organisation or individual. Here we may use data that has been indirectly gathered to contact you, though you have the right to opt out of being contacted if this is not your preference.

Links

This policy applies only to information gathered through the Lead Academy website; however, our site may on occasion include links to other websites. It is the responsibility of each individual platform to maintain your privacy while you browse and interact with it. Lead Academy urges every individual to scrutinise in detail the privacy policy on each website you visit, in order to clarify their approach to collecting and using your personal data.

Surveys

On occasion, we may invite you to complete a questionnaire or survey while visiting our website. Your participation here is entirely voluntary, and it’s up to your discretion whether you provide the information requested.

Information Sharing

Any and all personal data collected while you are visiting the Lead Academy platform will be processed and used solely by Lead Academy for the purposes mentioned in this policy. We will not, under any circumstances, sell or share your personal information to others. Should another organisation contract through us to better facilitate or manage your access to our platform, courses, and resources, we retain the right to share pertinent and relevant information with them on your progress and usage of our services.

Information Protection

Lead Academy takes very seriously the responsibility of responsibly and securely collecting and protecting personal information. We will always ensure any and all reasonable steps are taken to keep data securely and safely stored. Additionally, we will retain your personal data only for as long as strictly necessary, and when it’s no longer required will ensure it’s properly disposed of.

Your Data, Your Choice

You’re free to share with us only as much personal data and information as you are comfortable with; however, there may be instances where we’re unable to provide you with a certain service if you do not provide certain information. For more details about these situations, or for any other question regarding our policy, please email us at info@lead-academy.org – in English only.
