This policy covers The Training Advisory Group's use of personal information collected when you use The Training Advisory Group Web Site.
Other websites linked to or from The Training Advisory Group website are not covered by this privacy statement.
The Training Advisory Group website, with the exception of the registration process and Member Centre, does not capture or store personal information, but merely logs the user's IP address (the Internet address of your computer) and tracks user traffic patterns. We do this in order to help us understand how our website is used and how it can be improved.
For registered users of the site, the information you provide, where required, may be passed to organisations such as the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) who are responsible for funding and planning education and training for young people and adults in England, and is registered under the Data Protection Act 1998. The information you provide may be, where there is a requirement, shared with other organisations for the purpose of administration, careers and other guidance, and statistical and research purposes. Other organisations with which we may share information includes, educational institutions and organisations performing research and statistical work on behalf of the LSC, the SWRDA or their partners. The LSC is also a co-financing organisation and uses European Social Funds from the European Union to directly or indirectly part-finance learning activities, helping develop employment by promoting employability, business spirit and equal opportunities, and investing in human resources.
In common with many other commercial websites, The Training Advisory Group website makes use of a standard technology called a 'cookie' to collect information about how you use the site; this is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use/navigate through many parts of our website, except that access to certain parts of The Training Advisory Group may require a login and password.
The Training Advisory Group may amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information we will make that information available by posting a notice on this website.
