DISCIMUS LTD. PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains how DISCIMUS LTD. (“Discimus”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects and uses personal information when you visit or use our website and associated services (the “Website”).

Discimus respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, with whom we may share it, and the rights you may have in relation to it.

This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with applicable UK data-protection legislation, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018, as amended from time to time.

  1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with the Website.

  • organisation;
  • professional email address; and
  • any other information specifically identified as required on the relevant registration form.

We refer to this information as “Registration Information”.

You should provide accurate and up-to-date information. You should not provide personal information relating to another individual unless you are authorised to do so.

If you contact us or submit an enquiry, we may collect information contained in your communication, including your name, organisation, professional contact details, and any other information you choose to provide.

  • device type;
  • approximate location derived from your IP address;
  • pages and resources accessed;
  • dates and times of access;
  • referring website or source; and
  • information concerning your interaction with the Website.

The information actually collected will depend on the Website’s configuration and the cookies and other technologies we use.

2.4 Cookies and similar technologies

Cookie Policy
  1. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use personal information for the following purposes.

3.1 Providing access to gated content

Where you request access to gated content, we use your Registration Information to:

  • process your registration;
  • verify and administer access to the requested content;
  • provide you with access to videos, downloads, guides, and other resources;
  • communicate with you about your access or registration;
  • maintain appropriate records of registrations and content access;
  • protect the Website and gated content against unauthorised access or misuse; and
  • administer and improve the gated-content service.

3.2 Providing information and services

We may use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries;
  • provide information about our training and consultancy services;
  • administer our relationship with you or your organisation;
  • provide requested information or materials;
  • improve our Website, training materials, and services; and
  • communicate with you regarding services or resources you have requested.

3.3 Website administration and security

We may process personal information to:

  • maintain and operate the Website;
  • monitor and improve Website performance;
  • detect, investigate, and prevent security incidents, fraud, abuse, or unauthorised access;
  • troubleshoot technical problems; and
  • protect our rights, property, systems, and users.

3.4 Marketing

Subject to applicable law, we may use professional contact information to provide information about our training programmes, consultancy services, events, publications, and other professional resources.

Where consent is legally required, we will obtain your consent before sending marketing communications.

Where we rely on legitimate interests for direct marketing where this is permitted by applicable law, we will ensure that the processing is appropriate and that you are given a clear and straightforward opportunity to object or unsubscribe.

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the relevant communication or by contacting us.

Access to gated content will not ordinarily be conditional upon agreeing to receive marketing communications.

  1. LAWFUL BASES FOR PROCESSING

Where the UK GDPR applies, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal information. We determine and document the appropriate lawful basis for each processing activity.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following lawful bases:

4.1 Performance of a contract or steps at your request

Where you request access to gated content or another service, we may process the information necessary to provide that content or service and administer our relationship with you.

4.2 Legitimate interests

We may process personal information where this is necessary for our legitimate interests and those interests are not overridden by your interests, rights, or freedoms.

Our legitimate interests may include:

  • operating and administering the Website;
  • providing and improving our training and consultancy services;
  • administering access to gated content;
  • maintaining information and Website security;
  • preventing fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access;
  • understanding the use and effectiveness of our Website and resources;
  • communicating with professional contacts where permitted by law; and
  • establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we will consider whether the processing is necessary and whether your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms override our interests.

4.3 Consent

We will rely on consent where applicable law requires consent for a particular processing activity.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

4.4 Legal obligations

We may process personal information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation applicable to us.

  1. INFORMATION REQUIRED TO ACCESS GATED CONTENT

The information requested on a gated-content registration form will be identified as required or optional.

Where information is required to provide the requested content, failure to provide that information may mean that we are unable to process your request or provide access to the relevant content.

The information requested will ordinarily be limited to information reasonably necessary to administer access to the relevant training materials.

  1. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may communicate with you about our professional training, consultancy services, events, publications, and related resources.

Where consent is required, we will ask for consent separately from your registration for gated content.

For example, a marketing consent option may be presented as a separate, unticked checkbox.

You may withdraw your consent or object to direct marketing at any time.

You have an absolute right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

If you unsubscribe or object to direct marketing, we will stop using your personal information for direct marketing purposes, subject to any applicable legal requirements.

  1. WHO WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH

We may share personal information with third parties where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

These may include:

  • Website hosting and infrastructure providers;
  • video-hosting and content-delivery providers;
  • email and communication providers;
  • customer relationship management (“CRM”) providers;
  • providers of registration and form-processing services;
  • analytics and Website-performance providers;
  • IT, cybersecurity, and technical-support providers;
  • professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants, auditors, and insurers;
  • governmental, regulatory, or law-enforcement authorities where required or permitted by law; and
  • other service providers processing personal information on our behalf.

Where a third party processes personal information on our behalf, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the processing is subject to appropriate contractual and data-protection safeguards.

We do not sell your personal information.

  1. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Where we transfer personal information outside the UK, we will comply with applicable requirements governing international transfers of personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

  • UK adequacy regulations;
  • UK International Data Transfer Agreements;
  • UK Addendums to applicable standard contractual clauses; or
  • another lawful transfer mechanism recognised under applicable UK data-protection law.

Where required, we will provide information about the relevant safeguards and how they may be obtained.

  1. HOW LONG WE KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting, reporting, or other regulatory requirements.

For users who register for gated content, we may retain Registration Information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • administer the registration and access;
  • maintain appropriate records;
  • understand the use of our resources;
  • maintain security and prevent abuse; and
  • comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Different categories of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

Where no specific retention period applies, we determine the appropriate retention period by considering the purpose for which the information was collected, the nature and sensitivity of the information, our ongoing relationship with the individual, applicable legal requirements, and legitimate business requirements.

When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.

  1. SECURITY

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on the circumstances and subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions, you may have the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information;
  • request erasure of your personal information;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests;
  • object to direct marketing;
  • request portability of certain personal information;
  • withdraw consent where we rely on consent as our lawful basis; and
  • complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”).

Not all rights apply in every circumstance, and some rights are subject to specific conditions or exemptions under applicable law.

  1. HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

To exercise any of your rights, please contact:

paul.iliffe@thesatcommsgame.com

We may need to request additional information from you to verify your identity before responding to your request.

We will normally respond to a valid request within the period required by applicable data-protection law.

You will generally not have to pay a fee to exercise your data-protection rights. However, applicable law may permit us to charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

  1. RIGHT TO COMPLAIN TO THE ICO

If you have concerns about how we process your personal information, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concern.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s independent supervisory authority for data protection.

Further information about the ICO and how to make a complaint is available at:

  1. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING AND PROFILING

Unless otherwise stated, we do not use personal information collected through the Website to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.

We may use analytics or similar technologies to understand Website usage and improve our services, subject to applicable law and our Cookie Policy.

  1. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and services.

This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information processed by Discimus.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. If you follow a link to another website, you should review that website’s privacy policy before providing personal information.

  1. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, Website, technology, services, or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will always be made available on the Website, together with the date on which it was last updated.

Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
