We are a leading agile training and consulting firm in the UK. agileKRC is a limited company registered in England and Wales (no. 1937452) at 20 Old Bailey, London, EC4M 7AN, England, United Kingdom.
How do we collect information from you?
We obtain information about you when you use our website, for example, when you contact us about our products and services, book an agile course, or if you register to receive an email newsletter.
What type of information is collected from you?
The personal information we collect from you might include your name, address, email address, phone number, the company you work for, your IP address, and information regarding which pages you access and when. If you make a payment online or over the phone to agileKRC, your card information is not stored by us, but is sent to our third-party payment processors which specialise in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit card transactions, as explained below.
How is your information used?
We may use your information to:
- process orders that you have submitted;
- to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and by us;
- seek your views or comments on the services we provide;
- notify you of changes to our services;
- send you communications which you have requested and that may be of interest to you.
We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity. Any questions regarding the retention period of your personal information, please feel free to contact us.
Who has access to your information?
We have never, and will never sell, rent or share your information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf: We may pass your information to our third-party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to register you onto an exam that is included in the course fee). However, when we use such service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond agileKRC for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for the purposes of prevention of fraud or other crime.
When you make a credit card or debit card payment to agileKRC over the phone or online, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor, which specialises in the secure online processing of credit/debit card transactions. We do NOT store any credit card data on our systems. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions, please contact us.
We may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property or safety of our supporters and customers. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
