Part 2 of Schedule 1 sets out further details on the lawful basis we will rely on to process your personal data.
Please note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your information, but at all times we will abide by the rules set out by the GDPR to which we subscribe. If at any time we are required to use your personal data for purposes other than the original intention we shall inform you before doing so.
We may process your personal data (without your knowledge or consent) where this is required or permitted by law.

Generally, you will only receive marketing communications from us:
- if you have purchased services or products from us and have not opted out of receiving marketing at the time we collected your data or unsubscribed;
- you have provided your consent to receiving marketing and you have not subsequently withdrawn your consent; or
- if we have another basis to send you the marketing communications.
We will not share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
How to opt out
You have the right to withdraw your consent for us to retain and/or use your personal data for marketing purposes at any time. If you wish to withdraw your consent you should email us at info@crafttraininganddevelopment.co.uk with a clear instruction for us to remove you from our mailing list.
Even if you opt out of receiving marketing, we may still use your personal data for other purposes provided we have a lawful basis to do so.
Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any business, legal, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. However, we may be legally required to keep certain information (including contact, identity, financial and transaction data) for specific time periods in line with legal requirements.
We may also anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes. We can use anonymised information indefinitely without further notice to you.

- Enable the job application process and potential future employment
- We may use employment applicant data to monitor our recruitment practices and processes or for related HR statistics at any time, this data will be anonymised if retained for future reference purposes.

Where we store & process your data
We may have to share your personal data with third parties further details of which are set out in Part 4 of Schedule 1. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. They can only process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- we will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
- we use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe with our services providers;
- we may transfer data to US based service providers under the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
We will not pass on any personal data to third parties for their own use unless we are required to do so by law.
Security
Data security is important to us. Once we have received information, we will use clear internal policies and procedures and, where appropriate, security features.
In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
We complete a full annual audit of this and are Cyber Essentials Plus Accredited.
