Privacy Policy
Welcome to Our Privacy Policy
Effective date – March 14, 2022
Welcome to https://bsmsedu.org.uk (the “Site”). We value online privacy, especially for users engaging in business activities. This statement outlines our privacy policies for those visiting the Site without transacting business (“Visitors”) and those registering to use our services (“Authorized Customers”).
What is Personally Identifiable Information?
Personally Identifiable Information refers to data that can identify, contact, or locate an individual. This includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, financial details, and credit card information. However, it does not include anonymous or demographic data not linked to an individual.
Information We Collect
We collect basic profile information from all Visitors. For Authorized Customers, we gather additional details such as business names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and the nature of their business activities.
Who Collects This Information?
In addition to direct collection, third-party service vendors like credit card companies, banks, and insurance providers may collect data. While we do not control how they use this information, we require them to disclose their usage policies. Some intermediaries only serve as links in the distribution process and do not store the data.
How We Use Your Information
We use Personally Identifiable Information to personalize the Site, provide services, and process transactions. Visitors and Authorized Customers may receive emails about relevant opportunities, research, or service updates. Additionally, we respond to inquiries using the provided contact details.
Information Sharing
Authorized Customers may share information with others evaluating potential transactions. We also provide aggregated demographic data to affiliated agencies and third-party vendors. Visitors can opt out of communications at any time.
Data Storage and Security
British School of Management and Science securely stores Personally Identifiable Information. Only authorized employees can access this data. Regular security audits ensure compliance, and encryption protects sensitive details like credit card numbers. While we strive to maintain security, we cannot guarantee immunity from breaches.
