What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Eava are committed to protecting your information and using it appropriately. This notice describes our Privacy Policy and forms part of our website terms and conditions ‘Website Terms’). The nature of our service means that we may be providing training for you, or for one of your dependents. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, we will use the terms ‘you’ and ‘your’ to cover both cases.
We believe it is important to protect your Personal Data (as defined in the Data Protection Act 1998 and the GDPR) and we are committed to giving you a service that puts your privacy first, and also meets your needs. This policy explains why and how we may collect Personal Data about you. It also explains some of the security measures we take to protect your Personal Data, and tells you certain things we will do and not do.
1. Sources of data
We may obtain your Personal Data from a number of different sources:
1.1. From you when you contact us with an enquiry or in response to a communication from us
1.2. From your booking form
1.3. From documents that are available to the public, such as the electoral register.
2. Lawful Basis
When we collect Personal Data from you, we do so under one of the following Lawful Bases:
2.1. Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract. E.g.In order for you to take part in a training course, we need your information so that we can check your eligibility and send you the appropriate information.
2.2. Consent: you have given clear consent for us to process your Personal Data for a specific purpose e.g. sending details of future courses. When we first obtain Personal Data from you, or when you take a new service from us, we will give you the opportunity to tell us if you do or do not want to receive information from us about other services (as applicable). You can normally do this by ticking a box on an application form or contract. You may change your mind at any time.
2.3. Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests e.g. sending you a feedback form after a course for quality control purposes.
2.4. Legal obligation: the processing is necessary in order to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations).
2.5. Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life.

3.2. Some of the Personal Data we hold about you may be ‘sensitive personal data’ within the meaning of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the GDPR, for example, information about your health. We will only collect this data if you are booking training with us, in order to ensure your wellbeing.
