Privacy Policy

PrimePath Academy ("PPA", "we", "us", "our") operates primepathacademy.co.uk (the "Site") and provides online finance courses, corporate training, and related learning services (the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.

This policy is written to comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Name, email address, username, password (stored encrypted), course enrolments, course progress, exam/assessment results, and certificates issued.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data to:

• Create and manage your account and course enrolments
• Process payments and issue receipts
• Track your course progress and issue certificates
• Respond to enquiries submitted via our contact form
• Send service-related communications (e.g. enrolment confirmations, password resets)
• Send marketing communications, where you have opted in — you can unsubscribe at any time
• Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site
• Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data on the following bases: performance of a contract (delivering the course you purchased), consent (marketing communications, non-essential cookies), legitimate interests (site security, service improvement), and legal obligation (financial record-keeping).

5. Sharing Your Information

We share personal data only where necessary, with:

• Payment processors, to complete transactions
• Email/communication service providers, to send account and service emails
• Hosting providers, to operate the Site
• Regulators or law enforcement, where required by law

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

6. International Data Transfers

Where any of our service providers are based outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your data.

7. Data Retention

We retain account and enrolment data for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to meet legal, accounting, and certification-verification obligations. Payment records are retained as required by UK tax law.

8. Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Keep you logged in
• Remember items in your cart during checkout
• Understand how visitors use the Site (analytics, if enabled)

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Site (such as staying logged in) may not work properly without them.

9. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal retention requirements
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Receive your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent for marketing at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@primepathacademy.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Services are intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encrypted password storage and secure payment processing. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Changes to This Policy
