Our lawful bases for the collection and use of your data

Our lawful bases for collecting or using personal information for student education and welfare are:

• Consent - we have permission from you after we gave you all the relevant information. All of your data protection rights may apply, except the right to object. To be clear, you do have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
• Contract - we have to collect or use the information so we can enter into or carry out a contract with you. All of your data protection rights may apply except the right to object.

Where we get personal information from

• Directly from you

How long we keep information

• We keep information only as required for confirming enrollment and ensuring certification. Dietary and accommodation information is to ensure arrangements will be comfortable for participants and will not be stored any longer than necessary.  Once this data is processed it will be deleted, no longer than 3 months.

For more information on how long we store your personal information or the criteria we use to determine this please contact us using the details provided above.

Who we share information with

• American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care
• Recover Initiative

Sharing information outside the UK

In rare cases we may have to transfer personal information outside of the UK (such as making an enquiry about issues with a participant's certification). When doing so, we comply with the UK GDPR, making sure appropriate safeguards are in place and inform you.

For further information or to obtain a copy of the appropriate safeguard for any of the transfers below, please contact us using the contact information provided above.

Organisation name: Recover Initiative

Category of recipient: Educational provider

Country the personal information is sent to: United States

How the transfer complies with UK data protection law: 

Gillian Hunter MRCVS will not directly transfer any data you give us outside the UK to these organisations or anyone else overseas.  However, in order to be certified by the Recover Initiative students will be required to register and complete their online training through the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical care learning website and upload their completion certificates to the Recover Initiative website in order to ensure that the requirements for certification are met. Certification and educational material will be emailed to students by Recover Initiative once they have successfully passed the in-person workshop.  Both of these organisations are located in the USA but are not registered under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Transfer of this data is the responsibility of the course participant and will not be transferred directly.

How to complain:

If you have any concerns about our use of your personal data, you can make a complaint to us using the contact details at the top of this privacy notice.

If you remain unhappy with how we’ve used your data after raising a complaint with us, you can also complain to the ICO.
